...cinematic forms, animated films are the purest. They don't copy our world by photographing it; they dream up--draw up--worlds we were too timid to imagine. From the early work of Walt Disney (a pen draws a cute mouse) to the computer stylings of Pixar's John Lasseter (a mouse draws a toy cowboy), a good animator is a true creator--almost the Creator--and animation is God's breath; it makes movies move.

She got her wish in April, with an unlikely assist from Jennifer Lopez. In January, a snippet of music Carey had licensed for herself mysteriously appeared on Lopez's J.
