bickering fun people playing seems stuff wrong
This is just as much fun as playing in the water. It seems like there is a lot of bickering going on. Seems to be the wrong time. People need to be doing more stuff like this.

built crash highest mortality nascar people per rate roll sports
Horseracing already has the highest mortality rate of any sport in the world per capita to the people who do it. If you crash in Nascar you still have a roll bar, and a cage, and a lot of protection. It's built to crash, but if you fall off a racehorse we all know what can happen, so it's tremendously dangerous.

In a complex and troubling world, who wouldn't want to simplify? Everybody does. Everybody wants to simplify and put up a picket fence.

Really, each era has its own false nostalgia. We all put a picket fence up around something. For my generation it was the '50s, and for other generations it will be something else. Change is scary for everyone, as is complexity, contradiction, and an uncertain future.

Now, I just made an animated movie a few years ago, 'The Tale of Desperaux', and that had twelve hundred shots in it. Twelve hundred CG shots is a pretty big plan.
directors needs tables
Any director, if you really ask them, will tell you that the toughest thing to do is like a dinner table or a dialogue scene because you need to keep that electricity maintained throughout the course of the film.
writing needs schedules
As a writer and a director, I simply don’t have the time I need to write and prep the movie I would have wanted to make because of the fixed and tight production schedule,
character emotional depth
You rarely get a tentpole that has this much emotional depth, this much character to dive into.
children healing journey
Why is every great children's story about a journey? Maybe that's because we are always on one.
