C.O.R.E. signed a production partnership deal with Radar Pictures.[1]
C.O.R.E. Digital Pictures was started in 1994 by John Mariella, Kyle Menzies, Bob Munroe and William Shatner.[1]
Its first and only animated feature film, The Wild, was distributed by Walt Disney Pictures (United States).[1] It met with unfavourable critical and commercial reaction.
As with most Canadian F/X firms, a rising exchange rate, coupled with a decline in employment due to the economic downturn, would take a negative toll on C.O.R.E. After failing to secure a loan guarantee from the provincial government of Ontario, C.O.R.E. ceased operations on March 15, 2010.[1]
