It's just so sad to read this. I don't care much for any of the
other names that have come up lately, but John Lasseter is my
hero :(

Food for thought, every single day we see more alligations and
finger pointing. It's crossing political, but somehow not weath
lines. I'm not saying these things did not happen or that they
are not horrible. I'm just saying the frenzy of outrage has
reached witch hunt territory.

OR all these high level hollywood types just keep raping
people.

The fact that there are a lot of things coming out doesn't
necessarily mean it's a witch hunt. Are you thinking of any
accusations in particular?

Disappointed to hear this after I just finished reading Creativity,
Inc. by Ed Catmull (Pixar's main founder and graphics pioneer)
which attributes Pixar's continued success mostly to a culture of
extreme candor and honesty... Considering how long this was an
issue I guess some things are too good to be true.
