Last week, the Hollywood Reporter published their annual animators roundtable. There’s no doubt that the talented creators selected to speak their minds had interesting and timely things to say about the industry—Byron Howard (Zootopia), Garth Jennings (Sing), Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings), Mike Mitchell (Trolls), John Musker (Moana), Seth Rogen (Sausage Party), and Mark Osborne (The Little Prince)—wrote, produced, acted in, and directed some of the biggest animated films of the year.

But some readers noticed there was something amiss in the roundtable’s line-up, especially given some of the topics the conversation covered.
