Clearly, when you're hot, you've got lots of options.
In a week where Lin-Manuel Miranda had the number one movie in Moana, the number one album with The Hamilton Mixtape and the top Broadway show in Hamilton, he has set a big animated film project to follow Moana. Sony Pictures Animation chief Kristine Belson has fast tracked Vivo, a film that will be anchored by 11 songs written by Miranda. ...
Success begets success. Mr. Miranda is young, but most inhabitants of the entertainment biz (and we'll include animation in this) who own a smash hit or three, have studios waggling contracts and waving money in their faces. This is the way it's been for, like, a century.
And if you're one of the troopers down in the trenches, doing great work, and the project on which you're riding crashes and burns, you'll have to scramble to find the next gig.
You somebody in their fifties? Sixties? Then that scramble might be up a vertical wall of "Sorry, we don't need you right now, but thanks for your interest. We'll keep your resume on file." The gray-listing diesease isn't as chronic in Cartoonland as it is in live-action, but it's there.
