Have you noticed that all the major film/entertainment outlets this week would rather talk about the failure of one live-action film than the success of 5 animated ones? This is part of the reason why we're fighting so hard for fair treatment, pay and representation.
$1.6 billion, the highest grossing animated film ever. Animation workers saved film/TV during lockdown, saw none of the profits THEY created and this issue isn’t unique, it’s industry-wide. Companies can and MUST provide workers a sustainable living! #StandWithAnimation
As the @animationguild meets with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP) to negotiate a new contract this week, I hope they can win gains that make it possible for us to tell good, interesting, out-of-the-box stories again within the studio system.
I was so thrilled to be able to join the @animationguild rally today to help fire up the THOUSANDS of animators and union allies gathered for a fair contract! WGA and SAG-AFTRA stand with the Animation Guild!!
Animation, today you stood together and instead of making something beautiful for your boss, you made something beautiful for yourselves.

The Animator’s Guild (IATSE 839) just held labor actions town hall to inform members about strikes with the highest turnout in the guild’s history & the live chat is still a rager 🔥
Don’t sleep on us. Remember we’ve always been the life of the party:
