for spreading panic. These are decisions that affect real people, studios, & jobs, and it seems like you’re concerned with crafting a story with the most sensationalized (inaccurate) version of events.

Since this tweet is getting around, I’d just like to point out its *perfectly fine and acceptable* to not like a movie, but just say that. Don’t pretend like there’s some grand argument that‘s forcing you to dislike something on grounds of morality. Just say you don’t like it.

The people in charge of the studios making cartoons actually really don’t like cartoons, just money, and will consider a live action actor/director who has never worked in the medium a lower risk and worth way more money than someone who has worked here their whole career.

Contracts are expiring July 31st. Remember this. Remember what they are doing and why they are doing it.
Remember that if we don’t take a stand now, things will only get worse and more painful.
‘COYOTE VS ACME’ is now expected to be shelved and deleted forever.
Warner Bros wanted $75M - $80M for the film and rejected offers from Netflix, Amazon & Paramount, refusing to let them counter-offer.

Please don't lose your passion for animation. Businesses come and go, and collapse and rise up again. We still need you.
Don't let the despair touch your drive and passion to create something that resonates in the hearts of millions. The art will endure. The executives will not.

Netflix: *never advertises anything that isn’t already a hit*
Incredible New Show: *doesn’t get seen by anyone due to lack of advertising/marketing*
Netflix: “we have no idea why people aren’t watching.”
According to Craig McCracken himself, the reason he was open to revisiting Foster's and The Powerpuff Girls is because "No one is buying original IPs these days"
He pitched 16 different originals to Netflix, and Kid Cosmic was "considered a miss by their standards" in the end

I was gonna say how it’s not every day that the execs in charge of the most storied studios in the industry clearly show that they know nothing about the industry they’re supposedly leading, but we’re at 1-2 comments like this a day so there’s really no more doubt at this point.
Paramount CEO Brian Robbins says they are moving away from releasing original animated movies in theaters & instead will focus on IPs.
“We’re not going to release an expensive original animated movie and just pray people will come.”

THIS!! DO NOT PICK UP STRUCK WORK. If you are a story/storyboard artist/revisionist and are asked to pick up struck work DO NOT DO IT. Do not time your own boards.
Tell your director/producer "This is struck work and I cannot do it." Don't cross the line!
Some animation guild productions have local 700 workers (editors) on their crews. Come Monday, if they go on strike, productions may be tapping board artists or other animation workers to do editing work. DO NOT SCAB! Taking on Local 700 editing work is crossing the picket line

The fact is, without animation, they couldn’t make their dragons breathe fire, their superheroes fly, their distant lands alive with magic. We do that. Animation does that. Take VFX and animation away from a live action director and see what they can actually do without us.
