Which Famous Animation Director Just Got Removed From Their Film?

Received an interesting email tonight. No way to confirm the story, so we pass it along as a blind item, with the name of the director and film removed:

Following a harsh internal review, he has been removed as writer/director of the latest film in this beloved series. The review was brutal. He can’t write. The studio will spin it as he was stretched too thin.

If you know more, get in touch.
