It became official; The Lion King trailer started airing on various television channels. There's no skimping on advertising, and the Pixar 2D logo is undeniably eye-catching. The third movie from Pixar is catching the attention of many, presenting a competition only matched by Disney's historical Victorian animation style of princesses and following the natural thread of representative stories.

Both released on June 20th, it's a box office battle that's enviable in the eyes of fans and kids determined to see both stories. Contrary to Disney's judgment, the lions are captivating, and the images of a friendly smiling lion have captivated many children.

Out of the $95 million, $35 million was specifically allocated for The Lion King movie, from the production of numerous plush toys in the factories of Thailand to global promotion. Multiple channels highlighted The Lion King's songs, the touching beginning, and an anthropic African song highlighting the savanna, culture, and wonder of animals.

-Another success, - Billy mentioned to the hotel's TV. He waited for an hour for the television while sketching episodes of Evangelion and Yuyu Hakushu.

The door sounded with a soft knock, a silent tap. Billy's suitcase was ready under the bed. He opened the door, and there was the smiling Mila, entering the room with another large dark blue suitcase.

-Apparently, yesterday was the last day of filming, - Mila said.

-It was. Mr. Ronald also said goodbye to me, -Billy said.

-So, will you take me? My flight leaves at 5:00 pm, - Mila said.

-Don't worry. In two hours, on Route 95, we'll get to Las Vegas. Have you had breakfast? - Billy said.

Putting the white sheets into a black case, he then took Mila's suitcase and placed it next to his.

-Not yet. I was very tired yesterday, you know. I'm so tired that I don't feel like making that trip. I prefer to go back to New York and rest for the remaining week, - Mila said.

-Come on, let's go down to eat. The hotel buffet will prepare us for Las Vegas, although we'll have to take part in the journey by bus. After all, I have to return the car, - Billy said.

-What bad luck, - Mila responded playfully.

Billy grabbed Mila by the waist, inviting her to eat. Mila just rested her head on his shoulder for a brief moment before pulling away from the affectionate gesture. The latent affection between the two people, after dinner, some laughter, and Billy's gestures, has impressed Mila.

On the background television, The Lion King trailer started playing: the African sunrise, the movement of animals, the majestic waterfalls, zebras running, gazelles,he passed and elephants moving. The protagonists and antagonists appear, singing the Circle of Life song, closing with Rafiki lifting Simba, but the Circle of Life continues to play.

Universal Studios

Frank Biondi Jr. reviewed the two attached trailers. In each of them, he could distinguish that Disney's quality was present again. Frank Wells had approached him before his passing for the Oscars of Wallas & Growing. He didn't know how much money they had spent, but it was a considerable sum. Now, with the struggle of a new movie, a minimum of four productions was needed to have a shot at the Best Animated Feature category.

-Is this new animation company any good? - Fran Biondi questioned, primarily due to recent activity and Frank Wells's curious request that had prompted this collective attitude. The defense of Lux Animation was brief and less persuasive.

The Lion King trailer was in view, leaving many positions delighted with the intro of the song, a touching song that competes against the best musical productions of the moment.

-They are remarkable. According to Universal group's information sources, they are planning to venture into animated television, 2D animated films, and, most notably, their 3D movies, which already presupposes a sequel, - said Sid Sheinberg, a long-time executive of the Universal chain.

-They have been very close to Amblin Entertainment. They have made two hires, with the latest one about to be released, - said Lew Wasserman.

The room of ten men in suits, each with a strong personality, is successful in their industry. The rich tapestries and the large cedar table are undoubtedly elegant. Since 1993, Universal has been behind the scenes, watching Disney and Warner's actions. Lux Animation has caused an expectation that is somewhat reluctant from some companies because Lux Animation doesn't disrupt the interests of companies like Sony, Paramount, and Universal.

-That's correct. They requested help in terms of production and dubbing, which they paid for. Even from our standpoint, Amblin now also wishes to venture into an animated film, - said Jerry Longband, COO and a very accomplished horror film producer who, over time, shifted to office work.

-With the box office success of our last releases, I propose that we enter the creation of our animated series. However, under this configuration, I want all of you to confirm the projection of this project that can be beneficial for our company, - said Frank Biondi Jr.

Raising his hand to give way to one of the founders of Amblin Entertainment, who also compiled data on animation and the viability of the project, Kathleen Kennedy stood up. It was the second time she attended such a significant meeting, and she couldn't help but feel pride coursing through her heart.

-Thank you, Frank. First, I would like to explain about this new animation company, which certainly cannot be ignored. From my work as a producer at Amblin Entertainment and a producer on the two films produced by Lux Animation, I can see that the future in the creative industry is limitless, - said Kathleen,

pointing to large, white panels containing some photos of Lux Comics' facilities and some shots taken during the productions of Hercules and The Lion King. The pictures showed the wide windows of the Lux Comics factory and numerous desks decorated in random ways, plush toys, and some musical instruments, more resembling an artistic classroom than anything else.

-From my perspective and that of Roy Rodden and Frank Marshall, this company is undoubtedly the most powerful force in animation I've seen in recent years. From the television channel to the pending projects, the work environment, and the air you breathe, creativity soars above everyone. The Lion King movie will be a total success, and I add that it will be considered one of the greatest animated films in the history of animation. Therefore, based on my research, the feasibility of creating an animated company is high. I even consider that we are late, as in the coming years, this Lux Animation company is fantastically visionary. Therefore, I propose the first condition: if we create an animation company, Universal Animation, in any case, I suggest that it be done in collaboration with Lux Animation, - Kathleen declared.

The commotion began as Kathleen's flattering words, backed by two other producers, raised alarms in a way that a simple newspaper article couldn't. The person next to Kathleen, of Asian descent by appearance and Western descent by surname, Kim Jones, took the floor.

-Why is this company so incredible? Let me tell you the story and creation of this company. The key figure is Billy Carson, an 18-year-old who started selling comics at the age of 12 in his garage. Our sources indicate that in the mid-1990s, they allied with Warner, Nike, and Dark Horse Comics. In less than six months, this company caught attention for its innovative stories and excellent visual quality. In 1991, although a specific date is not confirmed, they acquired Pixar from Steve Jobs. We believe that Lux Comics' comic sales are in the millions due to the rapid growth they've achieved. This has frightened Warner and Disney, leading them to attempt business sabotage through entry bans, agencies, and production stances. However, that's not enough to dismiss a company that has created so many successful series, - said Kim Jones, banging the board with titles of the most popular series like Slam Dunk, Evangelion, Yuyu Hakusho, Hellboy, Shaman King, Samurai Jack, and The Walking Dead.

>>For an ordinary artist or creator, having a good story is fantastic, but you gentlemen are in the presence of one of the greatest writers and creators in history. All of his series are excellent, and his fans are numerous. It's estimated that at least 1 in every 7 children reads Billy C.'s comics and the acronym of Billy Carson. In its growth, it has invested in the creation of series and movies, of which you know factual data about Hercules released in 1993, Toy Story in December 1993, and soon The Lion King in June 1994. -

-This viral growth has established roots in the video game industry with the famous new video game company, ID Software. The influence, which we assume originated from Disney, extends beyond the video game industry, and the goodwill of this company is through the roof. Many people believe that if it's done by Lux Animation, it's good. The most vulnerable at the moment is Disney, a company that has always relied on children's series. Although they have come up with good productions like The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, and 'The Last King,' a film set to be released soon, they waver in the face of direct competition, - said Kim Jones.

Kathleen Kennedy nodded in agreement with the categorical research on the operation and expansive growth of Lux Comics.

-Tell me, Kim, will they venture into television? - asked Sid Sheinberg.

-They will. By October of this year, 1994, the Lux Animation channel will go on air, and we don't know the impact or quality of the series they will premiere. But so far, the legion of animators has created at least 6 to 7 series, productions of excellent quality, - said Kim Jones.

The quick overview is that Lux Animation, under Kim Jones's scrutiny and some others, has set the stage for the world of animation. How they expanded everything under animated brands generates a sense of discomfort for people in the industry due to rapid growth. Although some companies dismiss their growth due to the pressure from Warner and Disney, the future of a company that could be considered among the Big Seven creates repulsion.

What has caused insecurity and overshadowed the union of Steven Spielberg and David Geffen? They are already working on the creation of DreamWorks Pictures.

Kim Jones finished speaking, his strong features were practical for this type of informational meeting.

Kathleen Kennedy nodded at the summary. - Thank you, Kim. The analysis is that the roots of Lux Animation are driven by one person, and that's Billy Carson. This kid has extraordinary talent, and there's something that John Lasseter himself jokingly says because he considers Billy Carson the next Walt Disney. A person with such ambition cannot be simply bought with a few dollars. I believe that creating our animation studio or making an acquisition can help us establish cooperation with Billy Carson while creating our own stories, - said Kathleen Kennedy, concluding with all the gathered information and her stance on creating a subsidiary for an animated channel.

-Do you confirm the creation of our animated film production company? - Lew Wasserman asked.

-Yes, and I envision cooperation with Billy Carson. We are entrepreneurs; we can earn good money. Although cooperation is discouraged by Warner, who has fostered a suspicious state due to the severed relationships, and beyond that, the lawsuits have also caused some caution, - said Kathleen.

-Do you know anything about Rob? - Jerry Longband asked Sid Sheinberg, the recent director of Warner.

-Nothing new, - he replied.
