> Art is what we teach our kids is the most valuable thing. The Disney movie Coco is about a boy from a family of shoemakers who wants to blow them off and be a musician. Disney will never, ever make a movie about a musician who dreams of making shoes. Even though, well, try going a week without music and then a week without shoes and see which is more necessary.

Without shoes, the soles of your feet will eventually harden. Without art, your soul will eventually harden.

1. Working at home I usually spend more time listening to music than I do wearing shoes.

2. Making shoes these days means working in a sweatshop somewhere, which isn't an appealing dream.

3. Disney makes more money from music soundtracks than from shoes, so you can see which one they might want to promote.

4. Musicals are a popular animated film genre; shoe-icals, not so much.
