Aloha - good to see you. Tough and trying year to be a Disney holder. I hope for you guys that fewer problems will be brewing for you in the new year.
Having mostly a sentimental connection to the mouse, I hate the thought that that very mouse was well and truely retired on almost his 75 birthday, with the closing of Disney animation.
I tend to compare it to a scenario in which GE drops its last electrical appliance product and focusses entirely on its growing banking and insurance business: -Nothing wrong with the business, but it wouldn't be General Electrics, anymore...

For GE, that's a hypothetical situation, anyway. For Disney, I feel it is not...

All the best
Hope the vacation did you good!

Aloha - I'm so saddened to hear that not only have you lost your job with Disney, but that drawn animation is no longer with Disney. It is, indeed, the end of an era and a beautiful art form.

While computer animation has its own beauty and realism, there's so much to be said for the artistry of mind to pen and brush.

As an artist, even if not practicing, it actually hurts.

My very best for a better new year!
