About the Institution
Sheridan College was established during the formation of Ontario’s college system, and opened in 1967. It was part of a provincial initiative from May 21, 1965 to create many such institutions providing career-oriented diploma and certificate courses, as well as continuing education programs to Ontario communities. The school's founding president, Jack Porter, immediately began putting multiple programs and courses into action, which would grow into complete departments. In the 1960's and early 1970's, the Canadian animation industry was little formed and virtually non-existant, excepting animation pioneers of the National Film Board. In 1968 President Porter organized the school's first course in classical animation, even though at the time there was little evidence of demand for graduates. In 1984, Sheridan student John Minnis created the short animation piece Charade. The five-minute film was animated by Minnis with Pantone markers on paper during a single three-month summer term at Sheridan College. The film won the Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film at the 57th Academy Awards. As Sheridan's animation department continued to grow, it produced hundreds of animators into Canadian and international studios, at one point in 1996 being called "the Harvard of animation schools" on "a worldwide basis" by animator Michael Hirsh. A significant number of graduates have held key positions at Walt Disney Animation Studios, Don Bluth Productions, and Pixar Animation Studios, both for traditional and CGI animation. Sheridan graduates include eight Academy Award nominees and two winners, and in 2005, animation professor Kaj Pindal won an Emmy Award.
