 * Symbol confirmed.svg Article was created on March 4 and currently has 5135 characters, so it meets the date and length requirements. The source cited above for the first hook is a deadlink, but I was able to pull an alternative source from the article that supports it ( "This year the field of computer animation passed a milestone when Pixar’s Sharon Calahan became the first director of photography whose work has been purely on computer-generated movies to be invited to join the American Society of Cinematographers." ). No copyvio issues detected by Earwig, and the article has inline citations throughout. Ruby2010 (talk) 23:04, 17 March 2018 (UTC)
