For years, hundreds of Animating Kids movies were stuck in a copyright vault because of the music. Working with a lot of non-profit organizations meant they didn't worry much about copyrights.

The coach didn't hesitate. "Narrative!" And with that, he walked off, leaving the reporter sputtering. I nearly did a spit take. Having spent much of my life working with narrative, I thought his...
