Ernest & Celestine is an incredible film. And it looks like a watercolor sketch in motion.
Its style was a risk, and it took time and care to get it right. We explore how it happened:

A skinny, hungry tabby cat walked into a California classroom in 1952, and what he did next changed the school forever. The students at Elysian Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles were in the middle of a lesson when the unexpected visitor casually strolled through the open door.
He did not meow or beg for food. Instead, he walked right to the center of the room, sat down, and calmly started cleaning his fur. The children were thrilled, and the teacher decided to let him stay.
When the school bell rang at the end of the day, the cat quietly disappeared. But the very next morning, he was back. He returned the day after that, and the day after that. It quickly became clear to everyone that this stray cat had officially chosen their school. The students decided to name him Room 8, after the classroom where he first made his appearance.
From that moment on, Room 8 became a daily fixture. He arrived every single morning without fail. He spent his days finding warm, sunny spots on the floor, sleeping on desks, and walking down the hallways with total confidence. He never interrupted the lessons or caused any trouble.
When teachers needed to write on the chalkboard, they would simply gently move him out of the way. One of the students from that era later recalled, "He was just our friend, and we all looked out for him."
As the years passed, Room 8 became the most famous member of the school. He started appearing in the official class photos right alongside the children. He sat in on math, reading, and art classes. He did not actually do the schoolwork, but his calm presence brought a unique sense of peace to the classrooms.
Taking care of him became a huge honor for the students.
By 1962, word of this remarkable cat had spread far beyond Los Angeles. A major magazine named LOOK published a big feature story about him, and suddenly, Room 8 was a national celebrity. The school started receiving thousands of letters from people all across America.
The envelopes were simply addressed to Room 8, Elysian Heights Elementary School. Children and adults sent him fan mail, beautiful drawings, and small gifts.
When Room 8 grew old and began to get sick, the school community protected him even more. A kind teacher named Virginia Finley, who lived right across the street, decided to give him a permanent home for the nights and vacations.
Even in his old age, Room 8 still wanted to go to school. On days when he was too tired to walk across the street, teachers or students would carefully carry him into the building in their arms.
On August 11, 1968, Room 8 passed away peacefully. He was over twenty years old, which is a remarkably long life for a cat that started out on the streets. His passing was such big news that the Los Angeles Times published a long, beautiful obituary for him.
He was never officially adopted by one person, and he never received any special training. He simply found an open door, and the people inside opened their hearts. For sixteen wonderful years, Room 8 gave thousands of children a lesson that cannot be found in any textbook.
He showed the world that love is not about ownership, but about showing up every day for the ones you care about, and that sometimes, all a lonely soul needs is a safe place to belong.

Rod Taylor on "The Time Machine" (1960):
"The Time Machine" (1960) is a big part of my life because it was my first starring role. It was made for 600,000 bucks and nobody thought it would be anything. [But now] it's probably the biggest classic of of science fiction movies ever. There were no computers in those days. This was all movie-making and tricksters and cartooning and modeling. So for "The Time Machine" to have become so classically wonderful is a feat of movie-making."
(Rod Taylor's interview to TCM, 1996)
P.S: On this day, 66 years ago, George Pal's "The Time Machine" (1960) premiered in Rome, Italy.

@PeKoe_Arts @EvaNeff @JakedChinatown If I recall well, when Sargon of Akkad won the dismissal & cost of Attorney fees against Akilah Hughes, supposedly he was considering in collecting from the royalties of her book sells, as well her car.
English
@PeKoe_Arts @EvaNeff @JakedChinatown Due to the default, she can't counter claim anything at this point, she even wasted that by not responding. As for a way out, not much.
Ethan doesn't necessarily need to take money, he can take property (Car, Home, Equipment) equivalent to the value & then sell it.

@EthansAttic Problem is its the Court Grilling them at this point & not Ethan's lawyer, since it would be the court Frogan would have to try to convince at this point.
English
@EthansAttic Frogan defaulted as entered by the Clerk of the Court on May20th & it goes to the Judge to approved it & can no longer assert defenses.
Her one way out is that her lawyer gives a really good reason to the Court why not enforce the Default after not responding for much of a year.
