As a Disney alum, this news really effin’ sucks.
Also
“short-term cost savings provided by a layoff are overshadowed by bad publicity, loss of knowledge, weakened engagement, higher voluntary turnover, and lower innovation, all of which hurt profits in the long run.”

Yup. Still blows my mind that a wildly profitable company, can’t be bothered to pay the handful of artists who gave that same company 10-15 years of some of the most successful, lasting and best designs in the industry.
The lack of loyalty and respect by the people who do the least is staggering.
Also screw wealthy CEO’s and corporations laying off the very people that made them wildly successful, just for short term gains.
Folks with institutional knowledge, with decades of work, dedication and success all dismissed.
For what? Who knows but it’ll make a great bonus for an exec.
The constant ticking timebomb is that you are replaceable and people who are not creative and have no respect for the work decide who gets replaced.
I am so sorry for my friends enduring this, those being laid off and the rest who will now be expected to work even harder to fill the gap.

Silhouette of Batman from Batman: The Animated Series
Were 90s kids clamoring for a Batman cartoon with 1930s Art Deco aesthetics? Is that what the market demanded? Or did some really smart creative people have a vision and make a genre-defining hit that sustained 20 years of TV shows? If you want success look for vision, not just metrics.

Highly recommend seeing Orwell 2+2=5 🍿
It's a documentary about George Orwell linking his life & writings to today's political climate
"A chillingly relevant examination of totalitarianism's enduring appeal and the societal conditions that enable it"

Mamoru Oshii planned it. A young Satoshi Kon took the lead on its layouts. The result: a stunning moment from Patlabor 2.
We're looking inside the film's martial law sequence, including storyboards and production art:

A screencap from Godzilla (1954) showing a woman holding a child in her arms. In the background, a hazy room, a shaft of volumetric light coming through a door provides a bright background for the child's dark hair to stand out against.
A screencap from Godzilla (1954) showing a group of soldiers manning machine guns at night. Though the whole frame is very dark, there is a bit of fog or smoke behind the center of the composition, and the soldiers are brightly rim-lit, so that their silhouettes are completely clear.
A screencap from Godzilla (1954) in which a man in the foreground wears black clothing while a woman in the background wears bright clothing, so that both draw the eye in a room full of mid tones.
A screencap from Godzilla (1954) showing a group of people recovering an injured man in the center of the frame. The man in the center is the most brightly lit, while the faces around him are in darkness.
A few fun shots with some nice value separation from the original Godzilla (1954)

Poster for Junk Head. "A Miraculous Stop-Motion Animation Seven Years In The Making" SF Stop-Motion Animation Junk Head. From Animation Pioneer Takahide Hori. junkheadfilm.co.uk. A small white robot looks small in a giant futuristic city of junk.
Watched Junk Head (2017). A stop motion distopian epic that was almost entirely worked on by one person including music, voice overs and sculpting the puppets. At first I was put off by the look, but eventually got taken in by the story, charm and humour.
