And none of the audio-terrorists responsible has yet proposed any alternative system of keeping musicians alive to work. Musicians know better. Go to the Teletoon Channel, and check out Starship Troopers or Max Steel . I happened across both yesterday while surfing, and was stunned. I'm not talking about cartoon figures like those in Toy Story or Antz , but simulated human beings, to such a high degree of realism that I estimate they're only about a generation and a half away from persuading you that you're looking at video of actual events.
Animators are scared now.
But in a few years, the actors will all wake up and start bleating in terror, too.

As for dancers and choreographers, they've always functioned in an environment of fear. Furthermore, Canadian choreographers are now legally forbidden to cast their own works, and must employ whomever some bonehead judge decides.
