Tweet of the Day, The Doom That Came To Disney edition.
Alternate title: And Nothing Of Value Was Lost. I picked the first one because I don’t quite agree with the second one, but I respect that my readers will have a different opinion.

The initiative is said to involve “hundreds” of people at the company and will primarily focus on post-production and visual effects.

Via @Strangeland_Elf. The jobs that they’ll be killing with this one will be post-production work, which is one of those things that nobody thinks about. Right up to the moment when you encounter a movie whose sound mixing, video and audio effects, and color adjustments were done with literally nobody thinking about it. But it’ll be cheap! Solid B- work, too.
Well, C+, but grading is a value judgement, hey?
Anyway. When you notice in 2029 or so that every animated movie in a particular year feels like they were all made at the same studio, by the same staff, on the same weekend, this is gonna be why. On the bright side, at least the indies will have eyeballs. Maybe not any cash, but at least there’ll be eyeballs.
