    Kinda the point, isn’t it?

    It must be interesting being one of Disney’s senior executives, and being married to one of the striking actors.

      The Butcher understands where the pig is coming from when it wants to live but the butcher has a job to do.

        Not sure it makes the point you want it to make when you compare actors to pigs getting led to slaughter.

          I think it’s fair. The average CEO can recognize that workers deserve good pay for their work and they understand that they just want to live happy lives. But the sad fact of CEOs is that they are payed to ignore that and make as much money as they can. Workers will never be seen as anything other than cattle to them unless workers make a fuss.

          That’s very true. It’s not a fair comparison. The average pig is probably quite a bit more intelligent than the average actor.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    A senior Disney creative has warned the actors’ strike could halt animation production later this year.

    Jennifer Lee, chief creative officer of Walt Disney Animation Studios, has been able to “keep things going” up to now.

    Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s The Media Show, she said: “I can understand where everyone is coming from in terms of wanting fair wages.”

    Lee won an Oscar for writing and directing the hugely popular animated film Frozen.

    The 2013 hit, a tale of sisterly love and the lengths siblings will go for each other, marked an evolution in Disney story-telling.

    Five years later they introduced Mickey and Minnie Mouse to the world, in the black and white early masterpiece, Steamboat Willie.
