    I feel this one. I never look at the usernames (unless someone else says "username checks out"), I just read the content. In books I also never read the "Denise said" and "Harry replied" stuff either. I never thought about why. Maybe my autism? Or my ADHD? Interesting.

    The number of times I have to go back to see who was talking in books.

    How does one see the preface "...I directed brother bear" and think this is a young random artist?

    To be fair, if you watch the video directly on your feed and hit the button to comment, it never even shows you the body of the post. I frequently have to scroll back up to read the body when I see people in the comments under a video or image referencing something from the post I didn't know.

    But in this case it's the video that starts off with "I directed brother bear" in large font...

    I thought it was very gracious of Aaron to not acknowledge the mistake in his reply as well

    I saw this short when it played in the Three Rivers Film Festival just a couple weeks ago. It was really good and sweet!

    Disney Renaissance is a key term I feel folks into that side of the animation industry should know.
