Animation is Not a Genre, Apple!

Animation Brad Bird News Steve Jobs

I was looking through the files in iTunes 8 today and found all the images for the different Genre’s that appear now if you sort by Genre. I noticed that Apple had labeled Animation as a Genre in the picture (Click for a larger view).

Brad Bird would not be impressed. Let’s hope he doesn’t punch Steve Jobs in the face.

NB: For those of you who are unaware, in the director’s commentary on The Incredibles DVD, Brad Bird made it clear that animation is not a genre and that he would punch the next person that came up to him and asked "What’s it like to work in the animation genre?"
