"Comic artist-turned animator┬áMichel Mulipola is working for the most famous animation studio in the world ÔÇô from his south Auckland garage.
The self-taught artist, known locally and online as the Bloody Samoan, has bagged a job as a story artist on a secret upcoming project for Walt Disney Animation Studios.
The contracts heÔÇÖs signed mean he canÔÇÖt reveal too much detail. He canÔÇÖt even mention who the well-known director attached to the project is.
HeÔÇÖs grateful the American entertainment giant has taken him on, remotely, from his home in New Zealand, saying ÔÇ£thereÔÇÖs Disney work being produced in M─üngere of all placesÔÇØ.
He said he wanted to highlight his success in the light of National Party leader Christopher Luxon saying┬áÔÇ£the gang life looks pretty attractiveÔÇØ for young people┬ásitting in south Auckland garages.
ÔÇ£But thatÔÇÖs where I started, and you could say thatÔÇÖs where IÔÇÖm creating my work for Disney ÔÇô so take that, Luxon,ÔÇØ Mulipola said.
Stuff┬áapproached Luxon for response on MulipolaÔÇÖs career in light of his recent comments.
The National Party leader said: ÔÇ£It was not my intention to disrespect South Auckland in any way.ÔÇØ
He said his comment was taken out of context, and was reflecting a specific conversation he'd had with community workers in Counties Manukau."

I wonder- was the person in the story in a gang?  Mind you some would consider Disney to be a gang, well certainly if not a gang a cabal.

Not at all - I am generally very positive.

"Not at all - I am generally very positive."
Which is no doubt why you chose to reply using a negative story about south Auckland...
