\u201cWhat would you do if you did what you really wanted to do?\u201d It\u2019s the kind of question that a child would ask, but one that\u2019s harder to answer than you might think. It\u2019s also a moment shared in a podcast literally years ago, but one that I still remember fondly \u2014 and one that speaks very clearly to the given moment.<\/p>\n

In this animated scene by Danica Dickison<\/a>, a story artist and writer whose clients include Riot, Netflix, Disney, and A24, the questioner is a fox \u2014 a very special fox, in fact, having been magically awakened and only recently given the gift of speech. The answer, part of an early scene from The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One<\/a><\/em>, put an unexpected emotional button on my morning. So I\u2019m taking the fox\u2019s bold statements \u2014 and perhaps a bit of his fuck the haters <\/em>energy \u2014 into the rest of my week. Here\u2019s hoping it does you some good as well.<\/p>\n
