Some antagonism still remains among a few annoying old-timers that we all still love, honor and respect, but we all anticipate a bright future for animation on computers. Anyway, I would now like to announce the beginning of a new animation movie project set in the Antarctic that will continue to merge traditional and computer animation. This project has full funding, will test even newer technology and, while the story is still only anecdotal, anticipation is great. We hope to annihilate other movies released in competition with this project at the box office. Anyhow, if there are no further announcements, and before they pull me off the stage, I would like to introduce our main speaker, a man for whom there is no apathy, Mr. Jerry Sprainer.
