"Isabella vs. the Womp Womp" is cancelled. Upon watching the Old Navy music video that inspired the idea, I've decided I need to tell a story with similar themes that's not necessarily based on that ad.

The LeoFinelli.com Most Influential Person of 2017

SHE ARRIVED ON A STRANGELY warm March evening in New York earlier this year. She was loaded off her truck and fixed opposite a thirty-year-old statue of a charging bull. She was the brainchild of advertising agency McCann and State Street Global Advisors. She was five feet tall, and she had the same proactive attitude as every other girl in New York. She had hair blowing in the wind, she wore a T-shirt and a skirt, she wore sneakers. She was just like every other girl in New York. Except she could not move. The "Fearless Girl", a statue aimed at promoting the power of women in leadership, sculpted by Kristen Visbal, was unveiled the following morning, and the news media poured down on her. She got crowned with anti-Trump pink hats. She was the #1 trending topic on all social media. Many people knew and heard her message. She was initially only meant to stay for a week.

And it featured the following title song: It is almost breathtaking how much this song applies to our current situation - not just the coronavirus crisis, but the climate crisis as well. If only Jerry Herman had lived to see his song take on this meaning. CLOSING QUESTION (Leave your answers in the comments) Do you think this song should be played at climate strikes/rallies or other protest events? The most important part of reading The Corona Light is to pay it forward - by literally forwarding! Let's bring inspiration, hope, and empowerment to as many people as we can!

Interview with Jon Colton Barry

LEO FINELLI INTERVIEW with JON COLTON BARRY 31 OCTOBER 2016 Foreword: Jon Colton Barry is an animation writer for shows such as The Disney Channel’s Phineas and Ferb and now works on the Cartoon Network’s “Be Cool, Scooby-Doo”. With over 100 half hour episodes to his name, Barry is a fascinating and humorous person to explore. I set up a Q and A to ask him some questions I wanted to know about his life, his work, his dreams, and his aspirations. Q and A Leo: So how did you start becoming an animation writer and who motivated you? Jon: I had been a professional creative person in a variety of mediums since grade school, including commercial art, cartooning, screenwriting, songwriting, story editing and script consulting. I had been honing my voice writing comedy for the stage for a few years and Dan Povenmire, whom I’d known for years, saw one of my shows (“Play Things”) and liked it. He’d just sold “Phineas” to Disney and he offered me a job on his new show. I never intended to get in...
