0:00.0	Hello everyone welcome to slash film daily for Monday December 14th
0:03.3	2020 on today's episode we're going to be talking about Disney's
0:07.1	avalanche of announcements that came last week for Pixar Marvel Disney animation and
0:12.4	Lucas film properties my name is Ben Pixar Marvel, Disney, Disney Animation, and Lucas Film Properties.
0:14.0	My name is Ben Pearson. I'm the senior writer at slashfilm.com
0:17.0	and I'm joined on today's episode by slash film managing editor, Jacob Hall.
0:21.0	Hello, hello. And Ben, you know the skeleton crew at slashcom when I'm here on a news.
0:25.0	I know you see.
0:27.0	That's absolutely right.
0:28.0	Well, Jacob, yes, it is just you and I today.

1:28.0	Yeah, there are two takeaways. I have from here. Actually, no, I'll take it back. There are three takeaways I have from this presentation.
1:33.4	One is that this was the hardest a slash film team has worked in a long time. We wrote 33 articles in four
1:39.4	hours over the course of this presentation. And you can read them all if you want to hear more about any of these or
