    That's a more interesting backstory.

    You must have been pretty close to release if they had voice recordings done.

    -----------------

    On track, if Weissman can do something that the other yards can't do as well, more power to him. I agree with competition, but the leader can often do a better job. We had two yards in our town- one is a nice, professional setup, the other didn't have a scale, and was fighting to keep equipment working at all. I don't know if that's the case or not here, but sometimes fresh blood can help.



    I would be a little afraid of a horizontal monopoly developing, though.

    We were a month from finishing the first episode. All that was left was to get animation down, and that's where it fell apart. There was no interest, despite having Disney's blessing.

    On topic, I was reading Adam Weitsman's story of what he'd been through and how he feels his yards are the better picture to give back to communities and I see it: if you have two yards. One does things right and offers more per pound and you have a second that doesn't do either, one yard's going to fail and the other succeed(or in our case, two down one to go).
