The Simpsons, SpongeBob, Vaiana and COP30
As I've lready mentioned in other profiles, one of the side effects of having my work used without permission is its uncheckered licensing increasing the planet's prodution of garbage.
Some of those characters and screenplays are directly connected to environment preservation awareness.
As COP30 came to an end last weekend, I was recalling how many products portraying those characters and show, specially the Simpsons, SpongeBob and Vaiana come to my mind, were actually produced sustainably.
I've been spreading the word about reclaiming my intellectual property, but none of those studios have contacted me so far.
The Simpsons, its characters and first screenplays were created during my freshman year in design and art college. Nuclear energy safety and its effects have been ironically and slightly criticized in some of the episodes I wrote myself.
During my post-graduation in Computer Gaphics and Multimedia, I have created SpongeBob, its characters, some of he TV episodes and the long film screenplay. SpongeBob lives in a pineapple at the bottom of the ocean, but I wanted it to be as a crazy cartoon and ended up joining another student to co-create another characters, those ones more linked to environmental education, for our monography.
Later, I have created Vaiana (Moana, in Portuguese), inspired by the Little Mermaid child musical play's version for the fairy tale classic that ended up transformed into an animated movie, but with a twist of the plot; the Earth is in unbalance and the island's shore where Vaiana and her people live is being affected by the shortage resulting from it. In the end of the film, [spoiler alert!], Vaiana restores peace to Earth and nature return to its balance.
