The film illustrates a tough time which occurred for Disney animation artists in 2003

Dream on Silly Dreamer... Since the beginning of civilization the artist has had a tenuous relationship with business. At some point every item in every room in your house has been touched by an artist. Business needs artists and artists need to eat. In Dan Lund's film "Dream on Silly Dreamer" he brilliantly illustrates this point by interviewing artists who have partnered with managers in the cartoon animation business. Dan has focused a bright light on the need for the artist to stay one step ahead of those business partners who have their grip on the rug he stands on to do his art. When Disney Feature Animation decided that it no longer wanted to do hand drawn "2D" films the rug was pulled out from under several hundred artist. The inner feelings of some of those artists that were laid off in 2003 are exposed in Dan's film. From shock, sadness, anger, and bewilderment, the film pulls you into their world and you will be wiser for having watched them share their feelings. Dorse A. Lanpher
