hey btw i dunno if yall know this but Pixar’s John Lasseter has now been accused of sexual harassment and I know Disney are gonna try sweeping this under the rug. Just because he’s head of Pixar doesn’t make him exempt from this kind of thing. You can say “childhood RUINED” all you want but DO NOT LET THEM GET AWAY WITH THIS. Animation is one of the harder professions and the fact that so many animators, especially women are constantly treated this way in the industry isn’t fair. We need to start standing up more n saying that we’re sick of all of this. We animators deserve way better than this.
so don’t forget about this before Disney tries wiping this from existence bc this is actually a huge fucking thing.

They made it into a ringtone because it was old enough to be public domain, and Nokia (I think?) didn’t want to have to pay royalties.
… I like the full version.
So after hearing this I did a little Google searching and found out that the name of this piece is “Gran Vals.” It was composed in 1902 by Spanish composer Francisco Tárrega. It was originally composed for guitar of all things. In 1993, the Executive Vice President of Nokia Ansii Vanjoki brought the piece to his Head of Corporate Communications Lauri Kivinen, and they selected an excerpt from measures 13-16 of the song to appear as the Type 7 ringtone on the Nokia 2110 released in 1994.
This is a performance of the original piece I found on YouTube.
My philosophy professor has assigned us a final paper to curate a gallery based on a quote from a philosopher we covered. She’s pretty open to the art we choose to curate. That being said:
Watch as I justify writing a paper on TF2..
THE HEAT IS ON, MY DUDES:
So I guess y’all want me to post the paper on here?
