Since we keep getting "live action" CGI remakes of already perfectly adequate animated movies, and because people need to understand that animation is a medium and not a genre, I have prepared this primer about the importance of Visual Language for Conveying Information.
Can you tell what the personalities of these two mice are?
Can you tell now?
Which of these two tigers feels safer to be around?
Which of these three dogs is the funniest one?
If you can answer these questions, then you already have experience with the idea of visual language and stylistic choices being used to impart narrative meaning. If you can understand why these choices were made to impart meaning, then you can understand why animation is a medium for telling stories that has its own inherent value, and is not merely a "placeholder" for the eventual implementation of photorealistic presentation (aka "Live Action" CGI). Animation does not need to be "corrected" or "legitimized" by remaking it into the most representational simulation of observable reality.

What's it like living in Gaza during the current war?
As countless bombs fall down on Gaza every day indiscriminately killing every form of life, survival becomes merely a matter of luck. Wisdom and resourcefulness in normal places in the world can get you out of trouble, but they are useless in Gaza because luck is the only thing you need to stay alive. There is not a single precautionary action you can take to guarantee staying alive.
It is both sickening and terrifying that in the blink of an eye, a missile might be dropped at my house to wipe out my entire family leaving everyone torn to pieces or, best case scenario, suffocating under the rubble with a slim hope of being dug out by rescuers and neighbors.
As of today, more than 10,000 Gazans are resting and dissolving under the rubble of their bombed houses, and I shudder to think that my family could be added to the list at any second. With your help, I can get them to safety in Egypt.
