Animation and Acting (2016)

 This doesn't have a poster because it's just one of the little bonus features on Finding Dory.  I needed a palate cleanser after the run of shitty/depressing movies I've watched recently.

It's only about seven minutes long and doesn't go in-depth into the processes; it's just a cute little behind-the-scenes look at how the voice talent and the animation talent work side-by-side to create the characters in the movie.  If you're a fan of Disney animation, Pixar, or live action shows like Critical Role or Dimension 20, you know how important voice acting can be.  

Animation is frankly undervalued as an art form, because people write it off as for children.  Animators work in a variety of genres and you should support any of their efforts to unionize because I guarantee they have created something you love, even if you don't realize it.  They need stronger protections from the entertainment industry that frequently treats them like disposable objects.  Because we live in a hell-scape.  If you own Finding Dory, this is one of the featurettes on the blu-ray and it's probably on Disney+ as well, though I've never looked for it.
