Meteor Studios was a Canadian production company based in Montreal that worked in computer animation for many films and TV series. Founded in 2001 by American director Pierre De Lespinois and parent company Discovery Communications, the company specialized in creating "realistic CG on TV budgets".[1] In 2002, it won an Emmy Award in association with the Discovery Channel for Walking With Prehistoric Beasts.[2][3] By 2005, it was the largest visual effects studio in eastern Canada.[4] Meteor's film credits included movies such as 300, Fantastic Four, Scooby-Doo 2, and Catwoman.[5][4] After wrapping its first 3D VFX project, Journey to the Center of the Earth, the company closed in November 2007 without having paid its workers for three months.[6]
