An animator at Pixar in California will have no more status in the story-making than an artist does in Canada. Artists should always view it as a job that is part of a larger career that will allow them to use their skills. We're craftsmen for the most part, unless we actually decide to become creators and make things on the side or go through the pitching process. <br /><br />When the stars align and you work at it when you can, then maybe you can be a creator. In the meantime, just be happy to have work and adding entertainment to the projects you do.
