    No. I think that anybody can make a spin of Snow White if they want to which is why Disney spent a lot of their 90s in making unique IP that simply “borrowed” plot elements from famous plays. (The Lion King, for example.)

          Holy shit that is long. I’ll give it a watch while I’m working. I looked at the similarities at university studying animation 17 years ago, so I’d be interested to see what been dug up!

            That’s what I did: watched/listened to it at work. It’s not so much about the animation but rather the stories themselves.

            So you still do animation? I’ve always thought that was really cool skill.

              Sounds good! I’m going to start now.

              Unfortunately not anymore. I joined the course in the hope that I could get a career in 3D modelling and sculpting.

              They didn’t really talk about 3d until the second year when they hired a new tutor, and that tutor was just no help at all. I remember asking him all year to help me model a car, I really wanted to make a Nissan GTR and a Lamborghini Gallardo in 3D, and showed him my progress and what I was stuck on. His only advice was ‘do it in NURBS’, and nothing else. The cars never got finished.

              Then in the 3rd year, I was promised a work placement and even a student exchange program in Japan. Instead, I got the email address of a busy 3D modeller who didn’t reply to me once.

              The university didn’t care about me or my goals or my education, they just wanted my money. It really killed my dream and my passion for the job. I still keep tabs on all the cool things people are doing in the industry, but the prospect of joining them died with that course.
