brendalaI have a distant relative named Ruth who used to work as an "Ink and Paint Girl" at Disney. Her first professional art job was painting the cels for Snow White! Needless to say, I love talking to her at family reunions and our last conversation went something like this...
-Me: "I take it you didn't save any of those cels?"
-Ruth: "Oh God no! We were so relieved to finally be done with that production that we threw the damn things on the floor and slid around on them!"
-Me: "Bet you regret that now, huh?"
-Ruth: *sigh* "I wish I had known that people would actually be interested in collecting them someday. If I had just saved one I'd be set for life!"
-Me: "If I ever get work at an animation studio, I'm taking everything that isn't nailed down!"
-Ruth: *giggle* "That's right! Learn from my mistake, bubbeleh!"
