“LIGHT & MAGIC” Love how you can instantly tell someone is an OG 1970’s ILM’er (beside physical age), and the next gen digital crew, is the use of the word “Laser Sword”.

This is why AI is being shoved down our throats. The arts can be transformative, create empathy in society. If art/film/tv/music gets replaced in the mainstream by corporate politically controlled AI “content” it’s just monetized propaganda.
Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

Update: Pasadena Humane Society has now taken in over 300 animals, very likely lots more injured animals to come. Their biggest need is now monetary donations to provide emergency care. Here’s the link if you’re able:
