"In 1999, director Barry Cook began work on an animated film which would merge hand-drawn and computer animation unlike any feature had ever done: My Peoples. The film was based on his short story The Ghost & His Gift, a retelling of The Canterville Ghost. Furthermore, it was infused with Cook's life, featuring much of the Appalachian music and folklore that had influenced him as a child. Thus, Cook worked with the Walt Disney Feature Animation studio in Florida to bring his vision to life."

Theme of the animation is heavy but it shows amazingly how you can create art the way Disney tried.
The saddest thing about this industry is that the really creative ideas are almost always rejected, or sent to the sidelines for ideas that are more mainstream and "hip" so to say. The artist wants to be inventive, and corporate wants it's money. Maintaining a balance can be difficult.
Kinda makes me question my career choice sometimes lol!
