-John, I uand that you all are thrilled to be produg the movie, but I think you need some self-trol. It's not healthy for you to work day and night without rest, - said Anne.

  -I agree, but these folks don't stop. I even warhem that it's unsustainable for us to pay overtime to make the movie, - said Randall McArthur.

  The itment of Pixar animators is quite obsessive, w 12-hour days, with some only getting six hours of sleep on improvised mattresses in the hallway. They wake up in the early m to tinue w. Nobody ever said that the capitalist system was the best.

  John Lasseter had dark, heavy bags under his eyes, like two office paperclips hanging from the underside of his eyeshes.

  -I think everything is fine; only those who want to do it stay. We spend so much time uting from work to home and back. It's just frustrating; sometimes I want to see that se finished, and if I don't finish it, I 't even sleep, - said John Lasseter.

  -I just hope they don't do this every day, -- Anne said. -- I'm a bit ed about the employees' health at Pixar. -

  -Just make sure to pay the employees on time. We're all happy aed about the movie. Everyone w here has had a dream for several years. I'm enthusiastic; my wife knows it's my dream and uands. I have no other impediment stopping me from w 20-hour shifts, - John Lasseter said.

  -We all agree, - said Ed Camult, happily.

  -I disagree! - Anne excimed.

  -Dear Anne, I'll mahe folks as much as I , but I'm happy, even though I 't sleep on a fortable mattress. At my age, my back starts to ache, but I like what we're creating, - Alvy Ravy Smith said.

  Anne was on the verge of shouting. Ihoughts, not only was there the potential issue with the gover agencies overseeing all of Billy Carson's panies but there were also possible legal disputes if an employee were tret their decision and file a wsuit, among many other possibilities.

  Billy interrupted.

  -Let's make the paer. We set up the cafeteria like the ipany, with twe drink fridges, some dio reheat, coffee, sweets, pizzas—let's buy everything necessary to make sure our employees are well-fed. No one should e to work on Sundays, - Billy said.

  -That's perfect; pizza takes a long time to deliver! - John Lasseter chimed in.

  -Billy, I don't think it's right to do these things for us, - Anne said.

  -e on, Anne, I don't think it's a bad idea to buy some things for people to eat. This pany has nearly 40 employees; it's enough for us to stock up at the beginning of the week with what's in demand, - Billy said.

  -I'm nuing about the fridges; it's the sequehat me, - Anne said.

  -There won't be any sequences, Anne. I vouch for it from my word that we're a itted team, and we're all doing it for our is, - Ed Camult said.

  -e on, A's something you love, something iable. We'll take responsibility for everything that happens afterward, - Billy said.

  The work done by Pixar employees is fabulous. The animators' restlessness is undoubtedly a key to making movies. The obsession of these individuals only be reflected iure success of these same workers.

  -With that said, I have to get to work, - John Lasseter said.

  -Today is Sunday. I've already given the order; we'll rest on Sundays, - Randall said.

  -It's a pleasure to establish Pixar's new pany policies. Sioday is my day off, I'll rest a bit and have a meal at a restaurant, - John Lasseter said decisively.

  -Now, onto an even more important topic, - Ed Camult said.

  -True, - John Lasseter said, shifting in his chair.

  -Is this about?- Anne asked.

  -We need some extra funds. The team o subtract a pany to help us develop a program with better features, - Ed Camult said.

  -How much money do you need? - Billy asked.

  -Two million dolrs, - Ed Camult replied.

  -We don't have that money, but there's an outstanding at payable from a pany. We ihat amount in five months or when it enters our funds. Is that fair to all of you? - Anne suggested.

  -Subtrag is possible with an advance of perhaps 500,000 and a promise of payment, - Ed Camult said.

  -It's impossible, Mr. Camult. We have many iments, and we barely pay off the debts we currently have. In five months, we cover the subtrag and i some mive us some time; I assure you we'll i more money, - Anne said.

  Lux ics gees 900,000 in monthly revehe toy pany makes around 800 to 1,200 in profits, which we prefer to keep for the toy pany. T-Box Burgers earween 3,500 to 5,000 per month, which has been used for marketing campaigns.

  The tracts with Nike bring in 34,000 every three months, and on special occasions, they receive over 40,000. A small tract with Hasbro yields 200,000 per year. Billy typically reis most of it in stoprovements in the panies under his trol.

  With the i in paying off all the loans, iments have been reduced. At this rate, they might be able to settle two of the three loans by October.

  -It's unfortunate for all of us, - Ed Camult said.

  -It's impossible to i capital, but please uand that you are a priority for us, - Anne assured.

  -Thank you, Anne, - Ed Camult said. The trust among the partners is evident; when they promise something, they deliver, even beyond what's requested.

  So, the meeting ended earlier than expected. It's not just the pany's general issues but also all the points about the pany's operations, given their short attendahe gss-walled room never loses its signifi Pixar's life.

  -Your 2D animation studio is going to fae obstacles, - Anne said to Billy.

  -I don't think it will face many obstacles. My studio doesn't need as much money as these people. I'd be tent with two employees. I just need some help from a small group of talents, - Billy replied.

  -Hire talent first before assembling a massive team, - Billy said.

  Retired artists from the industry, iing promoters with talent, or people he knows through his work who know certain artists. For now, he'll foaking the Hercules movie as much as he advance. sidering the diversity of ideas at Pixar, asking for colboration might not be a wise idea.
