No, you guys don't understand. This is HUGE.
In 1968, a schoolteacher named named Harriet Glickman wrote to Charles Schulz, the Peanuts creator, and asked if he could introduce a black character to the comic strip. Schulz wrote back that he had thought about doing so but he was afraid that the character would come off as too "patronizing" or stereotypical. The two then began writing back and forth, with Glickman helping Schulz develop the character of Franklin.
As expected, there was pushback. A lot of people argued that Schulz only created Franklin for "political reasons" (kinda like how people accuse things of being 'woke'). One teacher from the South wrote to Schluz, saying they didn't mind a black character being in the comics, but they didn't like that Franklin was in a classroom with white students. The newspapers even threatened to cut the strip completely. Schulz simply said "Either you print it as I draw it, or I quit."
Now, over 56 years later and during Black History month no less, Franklin is front and center for a Peanuts special. This is absolutely amazing and we should be talking about it

The Evolution of Style in 3D Film

I wanted to show how much theatrical animation has changed in the last few years. Incorporating 2D elements has always been attempted but was rare and went unnoticed. That’s not the case anymore with more adopting it, anime too!
