In the brief recaps of the memorable Golden Globe events, the fierce Pixar winner left much to discuss, even though he did not want to be relevant to people. Hollywood loved politics from various angles and fleeting stars.

  -We believe the world of animation will stop being shtforward, - ented Jeff Perkins, a film critic specializing in children's films, known for his wise gray hair.

  -What’s going to happen? Is there a mystery you ’t stop chasing? As viewers, we have the right to know, - asked the interviewer, a pretty face whose job was t questions to the film world.

  -Fox bought Blue Sky, Warner expaudio Cartoowork, and there are signs that they might very well ehe world of animation. We have Ambliertai and, of course, Disney. All these are famous panies with signifit market presence, having been making films siheir beginnings... but now a third pyer has ehe se. Ihan five years, they have everything eology, creativity, and freshness. Their ideas are always aimed at transf logid giving a new meaning to sce fi. We’ve moved beyond princesses, knights, and usual characters like superheroes and vilins, to a much more impressive level: toys that e to life but with much more plex personalities, three-dimensional characters... space giants, endearing aliens who love rock music, extinimals with moral passes, trains glowing with magical realism, Greek cssics, plex stories. - Jeff Perkins' voice was firm, and steady, and demahe tration of those who could hear his intricate musings.

  -We have multiple blends of animation, not just the traditional Disyle. 3D bined with watercolor that fades as if it were a Van Gogh painting, dark tones mixed with ic elements... they py with different animation styles. -

  Charles Underwood's turned-off television was a suffit gesture of the frustration crossing his ally Gerald Levin's features, which was crucial in ensuring they were not blocked by Warner’s board members.

  -I think I ow uand Terry Semel’s idea of blog the kid, - Charles Underwood ented.

  -It’s incredible how, as days go by, his threat to the animated world has left Disney in a tough spot. The steep drop in their stock due to this phenomenon is signifit, - Gerald Levin remarked, disheartened about leaving things behind. Even now, he felt that the impending wsuit from Lux Animation was a sharp bde over Hanna-Barbera’s throat.

  But there roblem. Billy had stolen Friends and ER and even clipped the wings of Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. heless, he was just a drop in the o, as his financial i year was twelve times more than Lux Animation's, which had ehe medium-sized film produ category.

  Approximate revenue of 13 billion pared to the 1.1 billion collected by Billy. In some way, there was nothing to fear. But many film executives were moved by the kid... it nned. He had sent his staff to speak with such passion.

  -I’d like to get to know him better. It’s said that he is serious and reserved, very bold in business, with a modern vision of how the film should be made. He is heavily in teology and quality; his programs require signifit iment... that’s why he bought Pixar and formed an alliah Autodesk. He has the team to tinue developing informational animatirams, - Gerald said, stroking his stubbly beard, shifting in his seat.

  -With the Turner and Warner merger, we’re the rgest media pany. We already have some ideas that might be the most unfortable, but that doesn’t mean we’ll rest on our urels. The highest-grossing film of the year was an animated film, - Charles said, throwing some dots oable at Gerald.

  There, illuminated like a sphere of daring, was the new budget for Cartoowork and the new pany he couldn’t i in. All Hanna-Barbera assets were frozen; they could be used but no new films or series could be produced, including Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, Loouom and Jerry, Johnny Quest, Yogi Bear, and The Jetsons.

  -They approved this... 500 million for Warner Animation, three animated films for the few years, and 200 million to refresh Cartoowork. For the hree years, - Gerald ehey would i in a rge produ studio, newly built and recreated to have a new headquarters, team, and lises, and i in a new DC produ series, acquiring stories and mixed ideas. Warner's World received between 300 to 400 scripts a day, while Lux Animation received 10 to 12 scripts a month from its animators.

  But the giant red cuse was biting: stealing animators, atack that couldn’t be sidered the first. Billy had anticipated the theft of his employees a long time ago. For this reason and others, he had improved social security design, enhanced paid vacation, and small perks like meal vouchers, snack refrigerators, and a healthy creative enviro.

  On their st day in Hawaii, after extending their trip by four days, Billy woke up te. Throughout those four days, he had been ed in Monica’s arms as they rexed. The m had just begun. As the Italian had informed him, she slept naked, only wearing vender cologne and jewelry.

  It aralyzing and pletely desote, the way he showered her with kisses, a love that was utterly impressive. They both ehe temporary beauty of their fort, cherishing the deep kisses they shared each m. If Monica were asked whe tired of kissing, she would say she never did; she loved the deep kisses ed in a mask of romance. Her m coffee was like an express ticket to heaven. Her mind and body worked differently.

  The phone woke them from their utopia. It was a utopia, and for that and other reasons, he took it to the limit. It was a limit, violent and majestic, pulling them back to their Hawaiian room.

  Ohird ring, Billy decided to break from his usual routine. He answered the phoh a slight "hello," somewhat annoyed by the interruption. It was Jim Gianopulos, one of the few people who had his number, used only on special occasions. Only a small team of 25 people had Billy’s number, aried not to spread it far.

  -We have everythi for the distribution of Jerry Maguire. We're waiting for you to take over the publicity. The film is scheduled for release on February 15,- Jim Gianopulos said.

  -We'll address that the day, - Billy replied, thinking. - For now, tih the regur course. -

  -Now, the important news... we might be nominated for the Oscars! That's a positive point, even if it shouldn't be. The trial against Warner is tomorrow, and the case will be decided then. For now, there's a media wave, everything covered, but we've bee a statement to keep quiet on both sides until there's a verdict, - Jim Gianopulos expined.

  -I think that's how it should be, - Billy responded. He was indifferent, hoping it would turn out in their favor. However, Warner might end up paying money. He didn't think the pany would lose its valuable series, but the i payments were substantial.

  -Perfect. Anne will notify you of the decision, - Jim said. He expihat in the event of a payment, they could iate for two series and a portion of the money. Hanna-Barbera’s assets did not exceed 100 million, and the wsuit estimated 460 million. If they obtained Scooby-Doo and Tom and Jerry, it would be sidered a major victory. However, in an unusual case, it could rise to 670 or 789 million if they won pletely, including the return of the Yuyu Hakusho series, which had been fotteo its meager budget, unlike Sm Dunk.

  It was very likely they would win, at least acc to the expensive legal team, who were typically the leaders in such tracts.

  Monica hugged him from behind and kissed his neck lovingly. The fact that they were taogether meant they barely left their hotel room.

  -Let’s go to bed together, my love, - the dark-haired woman said with intense desire.

  -You’re a stant trouble, my dear, -Billy said, huggiightly while lifting her legs to trap her betweetress and himself. It was a majesti of desire; their bodies collided with ignited passion. She pressed her delicate nipples against him. With just a touch, the tinuous stimution made her feel a jolt, but she attacked Billy with her slender hands, trolling the provocative gesture with an open mouth and eyes filled with explosive excitement... fugitives of exhiration.
