"Comic artist-turned animator Michel Mulipola is working for the most famous animation studio in the world – 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 he’s signed mean he can’t reveal too much detail. He can’t even mention who the well-known director attached to the project is.

He’s grateful the American entertainment giant has taken him on, remotely, from his home in New Zealand, saying “there’s Disney work being produced in Māngere of all places”.
He said he wanted to highlight his success in the light of National Party leader Christopher Luxon saying “the gang life looks pretty attractive” for young people sitting in south Auckland garages.
But that’s where I started, and you could say that’s where I’m creating my work for Disney – so take that, Luxon,” Mulipola said.
Stuff approached Luxon for response on Mulipola’s career in light of his recent comments.
The National Party leader said: “It was not my intention to disrespect South Auckland in any way.”
He said his comment was taken out of context, and was reflecting a specific conversation he'd had with community workers in Counties Manukau."
“It was not my intention to disrespect South Auckland in any way.”

Oh, I think it was mate.

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.
