If you remember only one thing from this homily, I'm going to ask that you remember the name Willie Downs.
Willie Downs is a young man in his early 20s from Whitehouse, Texas who absolutely loves animation. His greatest dream is to work for Pixar and Disney. So a few years ago, he started writing to some of the giants at the studio, asking their advice. One of the people who wrote back is Pixar animator Aaron Hartline. Aaron sent a handwritten note, scribbled with what looks like crayon or a Sharpie.
