094 - Let’s Dance

This week on Writers Get Animated: We talk Leap! More specifically, our many qualified guest stars talk Leap! We’re just along for the ride. Our resident dance cohort talks about authenticity, ballet, and also FlashBeagle. Why retitle a movie that’s already localized in English? What does elated child-like joy sound like? What is floorwork? What color was the Statue of Liberty originally? What was “this crazy thing that happened in ballet”? Was Parisian ballet actually good? Can ballerinas get stuck in splits? What ARE bigger problems than dance class?
