Cartoon Brew: "Walt Disney Animation Studios Remote Workers File To Unionize With The Animation Guild"
History was made this week when a group of 10 Walt Disney Animation Studios remote workers in six states filed to unionize with the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees (IATSE) and The Animation Guild, IATSE Local 839.
The workers requested union recognition from the studio and have filed with the National Labor Relations Board for an official unionization election.
This is the first time remote workers have attempted to unionize with TAG, and according to the union, the movement marks a significant shift in IATSE and TAG’s strategies as the organizations work to protect as many animation workers as possible.
Y'all the fact that a music video from an indie adult cartoon show looks and sounds leagues better than a major animation studio's 100th anniversary film is fucking hilarious.

One of the things I really like about Disney’s The Little Mermaid is that it puts Ariel and Eric on equal footing of heroism. She saved him and later he saved her. Now that’s proactive.
I'll tell you a tale of the bottomless blue
And it's hey to the starboard, heave-ho
Look out, lad, a mermaid be waiting for you
In mysterious fathoms below
