I’ve got some shocking news for some of you. You might have heard there are a number of Jews in the entertainment industry. Well, there are also quite a few gay people of both genders. Some of them are, also, Jewish, but that’s neither here nor there. Pixar is probably the single most respected outfit in all of entertainment right now, with an absolutely unprecedented run of combined artistic and commercial success — even Nikki Finke respects them.
Though this video is not CGI animated and features no lovable inanimate objects, it’s no surprise that when the good people of Pixar put together an “It Gets Better” video, it should be extremely engaging and moving. Especially if you are a young person struggling with your sexual identity, please watch this. If you know someone who is, especially with an interest in entertainment, make sure they watch it.
This post is dedicated to an absent childhood friend, my first movie-mad buddy, who might have wound up at Pixar, or some place just as cool, if he’d been able to see something like this.
