Fone Bone

Honestly, I'm disillusioned. I was the guy in the thread who was stupidly saying they didn't just hire Jennifer Lee just because she was a woman, and now I learn it was probably a public safety issue. I'm done giving this company the benefit of the doubt. It never deserved it. It is not the studio about wistful childhood, and magic, and believing in yourself, and never was. I find it telling that the person who wrote the article says she never had any of these problems at the Walt Disney Animation Studio or the place she went to work at after either. I am now cynical. Those heartwarming tales of wonder and family were all made by a bunch of fratboy buttholes. I can never take a single moment of heartfelt drama in one of those movies seriously ever again.
I could have looked past it if it was just Lasseter. I never much liked him to be honest. Anyone who is a fan of Larry the Cable Guy is automatically suspect towards my b.s. detector, especially one who puts that mean-spirited oaf to work to give voice to a supposedly innocent character like Mater. And his Cars obsession and delivering bad movie after bad movie in that canon meant I was not the fan many Pixar fans were.
But if it's the entire company, Dory's "When I look at you, I'm HOME" is now hogwash. And I'm disgusted to learn it always was.
