All of the creatives behind CC and CT seem to genuinely love Yasammy, do you feel that's the case?

Also more importantly, is there anything I as a professional nobody can do to help support artists in the current action?

Absolutely! A lot of us always thought they should be together on both shows.

And yes, for those who are unaware-- our union, The Animation Guild (which many of the folks who brought you Jurassic World Camp Cretaceous and Chaos Theory are members of), is currently in negotiations with the AMPTP (The Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, who represent all the studios who EMPLOY union workers) for a new contract for LA union animation workers.

There's a lot of different issues being negotiated over right now (including AI, better pay for undervalued crafts, and a vast number of craft specific issues), but I and many of my former coworkers have been personally affected by the growing trend of studios outsourcing more and more previously UNION jobs to nonunion workers, who are vastly underpaid and overworked without the protections that were negotiated for us here in LA.

I have personally been out of work since February. This can partially be attributed to the fact that studios haven't been greenlighting very many new shows. But it can ALSO be attributed to studios looking for shady ways to cut costs, and deciding they no longer value TV storyboard artists enough to hire them union and pay them what they are really worth (many outsourced storyboard artists are paid a third of what we are paid in LA). Practically everyone I know who I used to work with at Dreamworks TV (with the exception of 1 or 2 people who are about to hit their own end dates soon) are no longer working there, and many are also currently unemployed as well.

To be clear-- I do not blame outsourced workers-- they are also taken advantage of by the studios, and they are often awarded contracts based on whoever bids the least money and time, and then not treated fairly. In an ideal world, everyone should be paid the union rate with the union benefits if they are doing work for a union studio, no matter the location, and whether or not someone is hired should come down purely to whether they are a fit for the project, not whether or not they are the cheapest labor a company can exploit.

So! This (and many MANY more reasons, including trying to replace EVERYONE with AI) is why I am rooting for any and all gains our negotiations committee can make towards these eventual goals, as well as further protection of our current members this negotiations cycle.

I encourage anyone who has ever enjoyed anything animated and would like to support the people who make animation to check out Animation Workers Ignited for more information, to follow their page on twitter and on instagram, to follow the #StandWithAnimation hashtags (again particularly on twitter and instagram), and to retweet/share/reblog the updates, stories, and firsthand accounts of animation workers that are posted on these platforms to help keep us trending on social media while we're in negotiations. You can also make posts yourselves voicing your own support of us using the #StandWithAnimation hashtag! Please encourage your friends to do all these things as well!

Thank you for asking!

Netflix removing (Netflix original) dreamworks shows due to expiring contracts will be the death of me. I hate how quiet they are about it like it's giving me war flashbacks to the hbomax cartoon purge

[ Spoiler alert! ]

It is about Roz a robot designed to finish a given task, become stranded to wilderness when an accident happened. It follows when Roz capable to adapt with its environment, in which be friended with all of the living species and animals in the wild. Roz strangely developed and expanded its designed and be attached to a hatchling named Brightbill and a fox named Fink in which, lets follow their wild adventure and enjoy!

This movie delivery a heart warming, clenching, breaking and entertaining scenes. I provided some of the highlights an image that catches my emotions. It teaches us for a survival instinct in which, we can adopt to our surroundings. Through kindness and determination in which how others can motivate us and help us to reach our tasks and goals in life.

Highly recommended to all of you! I hope you liked it too!

ANIMATION IS CINEMA. ♥️✨

[Animation Is NOT A Genre, It Is Art And A Method Of Storytelling! Animation Can Be Loved And Enjoyed By Everyone No Matter What! Animation Is So Damn Underappreciated And Deserves So Much More Love, Respect And Appreciation! Please Continue To Support And Appreciate Animation (+ Animators As Well) And As Guillermo Del Toro Said, "It'll Take Some More Years To Make People In Hollywood Believe And See That Animation Is Cinema. But, It's A Battle I'll Keep Fighting."]

This is why DreamWorks was always one of my favorites! I actually started watching DreamWorks movies before Disney!

The exploration they do with their world building and story telling! You don’t have to be a person of faith (even though I am lol) to admire the beauty and music of the Prince of Egypt. Over 20 years later and this movie is still a friggin masterpiece! The animation , the story, the music!

This one is my top favorite DreamWorks film ❤️
