btw everyone in the US who worked on this has either lost their job or is going to. you can make a company half a billion on half the budget of the previous movie and they'll still toss you to the curb to make their quarterly financial reports look good.
‘KUNG FU PANDA 4’ is tracking to end its theatrical run earning $550M-$600M globally on a $85M budget.
Making it the second highest grossing film of the franchise.

Take your 1000 page epic, your feature film, your thing that is going to take years to make and years of upskilling and make it the smallest thing you possibly can. A 12 page black and white minicomic, a short story, a poem. You can still do the big thing later.

Tell independent artists, musicians, chefs that you like their work. It really matters. I guarantee you they don't hear it all day and most people who you think are "huge" are just grinding it out for the love of what they do. Share their work with a friend and let them know.

I’ve been pitching animated series for eight years? “We have a girl show” is something I’ve heard so many times. A girl show. Singular.
In light of the Tuca and Bertie controversey, I think people outside the animation industry have this idea that there aren't a lot of women making shows because not enough women are pitching or believing in themselves or whatever and blaming "the patriarchy"-

It turns out Warners never wanted to save Coyote vs Acme. They received offers including theatrical release and refused to even negotiate. They want the tax write off. The people who run these companies make me sick.

I hope there is a “next SpongeBob” or “next Simpsons”. I want a new cartoon that can cross over into the mainstream. Sadly, current animation conditions make it impossible. Short, limited seasons make it so shows don’t have time to find their voice and grow.

I feel like many women in animation are familiar with this experience.
Sofia Coppola on her scrapped Little Mermaid live-action for Universal Pictures:
"I was in a boardroom and some development guy said, 'What’s gonna get the 35-year-old man in the audience?' And I just didn’t know what to say."

We should all be wearing better masks by now. Since the US government didn't do anything, let's look after each other. My personal recommendation is a KF94 mask. KF94 is the Korean mask standard, similar to the US N95, EU FFP2 and Chinese KN95.
