The 10 highest-grossing animated movies starring people of color | Diverse Tech Geek

A list of the 10 highest-grossing animated movies starring people of color, from Pixar's "Coco" to Sony's "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

I keep saying: If Tumblr added a Twitter-like sidebar they would render every other social media platform not supported as a loss-leader for Nazis extinct in a month.

RIP Kevin Conroy.
