    It's not the theme - it's the execution of the theme.

    It's not hand drawn vs. CGI -- it's the script.

    You Tube and Vimeo and other online channels offer animators a platform to showcase their own work, unencumbered by studio politics and pressures. I hope to see more and more artists develop this entrepreneurial spirit and perhaps even small online studios spring up like wildflowers.

    Doesn't make these layoffs any less painful, but I think this is where innovation and creativity will truly thrive.
