| Star treatment for Yankees and Dodgers fans with deep pockets at World Series |

[sports](/sports) [baseball](/sports/baseball) [new york yankees](/sports/baseball/yankees) star treatment for yankees and dodgers fans with deep pockets at world series hours before the yankees opened their world series homestand against the los angeles dodgers monday, tickets ranged from $724 to $16,185 on resale giant stubhub. Those were asking prices, not necessarily sales, and ticket prices appeared to have fallen with the yankees fortunes after they lost the first two games of the series. But to get into a packed stadium for the first yankees home world series game since 2009, most fans had to pay dearly. The low end rose to $992 with fees and didn’t actually buy a seat; rather, it bought a pinstripe pass, which granted access to non-designated standing room only locations through the stadium or at a number of social gathering locations, according to the major league baseball website. The website noted, sternly, that pinstripe pass holders may not occupy ticketed seats, cafe seats or portable folding chairs. The high end, which came to $21,854 with fees, bought a place in sports paradise: row 2, section 18 of the legends suite, curated for those who demand the best in baseball. Plush, but pricey for the price of a decent used car, or roughly three years of instate tuition at a suny college, fans in a legends suite got an actual seat near the yankees dugout — nicely cushioned — with perks including use of a private stadium entrance and all-inclusive food and nonalcoholic beverages. It was possible for a legends suite guest to get a hot dog, but it was probably not easy, judging by the photo gallery on the mlb website: all the free cupcakes, steak, sushi and stone crab claws would get in the way. Ticket marketplace vivid seats put the average sold ticket price for the game at $1,682, the highest of the series so far. At game time, another marketplace said in a press release monday afternoon, the yankees’ 0-2 series start meant that ticket prices at the stadium were crashing, with lowest-cost prices down from $1,745 last wednesday to $854 monday and top-priced tickets down from more than $27,000 last week to $16,167. In the bronx monday evening, there were a few fans like elbi cho, 49, a mets-loving used car salesman from queens, waiting for the game to start and for resale market prices to drop. He refused to pay more than a few hundred dollars. This is not my team, he said outside yankee stadium as the game time approached. Most people cheerfully said they’d spent thousands. I paid $6,000 a ticket and bought five, said new jersey resident mark lauber, who’d come with his sons and their girlfriends. I’ve been to three world series when the yankees won and you can’t put a price on it. It’s so exhilarating. It’s something i’ll never forget — i was at the 77 world series when reggie jackson hit three home runs. ... You can’t put a price on it. Once in a lifetime jose and alma hernandez, dodgers fans from orange county, california, paid $2,200 each for seats near the press box behind home plate. We’ve decided along the way — we’ve been married 24 years — that we’re going to give each other experiences, said jose hernandez, 50, a lawyer. He and alma hernandez, 51, a judge, start watching baseball in spring training and sometimes buy season tickets, he said. A series like this might, like halley’s comet, come around once a lifetime. We’re not going to see another series like this, he said. But, there is always a limit. I don’t know what it is right now, but there is always a limit. Joanne carducci, the social media personality jojofromjerz, said she paid $3,200 for tickets for herself and her 15-year-old son, leo. I’ve been bringing my kids to yankees games since 2019, since i first got separated from their dad and i couldn’t afford any tickets at all, she said. I had to sit on the 400s in the clouds and it was so high that i was scared. I made a promise to myself that within a very short time i would be sitting low, and i worked and worked, and five years later, i’m at the world series with my son. Said leo: we came all this way, and it’s awesome. In the ford field mvp seats, not far from the field but above the legends area, elliott kreppel, 56, a tax firm owner from monroe township, new jersey, said he didn’t know how much his tickets had cost, and that it didn’t really matter. He’d come with his son, jake, 25. Money comes and goes, but memories are forever. Also: he sits in legends during regular season, and the free food after a while, it’s too much ... The lobster, it’s just too much.

A group of mostly conservative state lawmakers gathered monday to decry the ad as false and distasteful.
support our schools nebraska a group of mostly conservative nebraska lawmakers gathered monday to decry a false and distasteful political ad that depicts legislators breaking pencils and overturning toys in an elementary school classroom while suggesting a new state law will lead to cuts to public school funding and increased property taxes.
the television ad, meant to spur voters to repeal a new state law that sets aside $10 million of tax dollars for private school scholarships , shows three men dressed in suits toppling dominoes and lego bricks while a narrator claims the law could force cuts at public schools to pay for it.
state legislators are playing games with our children’s education.
legislators are diverting $100m to private schools, risking public school cuts, larger classes, lower teacher pay, and higher taxes—with no accountability.

John cook gives update paid for by the teachers union-backed group support our schools nebraska, the ad began airing across the state late last week as nebraskans face a vote next week to repeal or retain lb1402, which established the state-funded private school scholarship program. The group gathered more than 60,000 signatures this summer to put the laws fate in the hands of voters.
with just more than a week before election day, nearly 20 state lawmakers gathered in the capitols rotunda to blast the ad and the group behind it, accusing support our schools of spending millions of dollars to lie about whats really happening and taking direct aim at the president of nebraskas state education association.
the lawmakers asserted that none of the ads claims are accurate — and that the nature of the commercial itself was hitting under the belt — while they made the same case for lb1402 that they have all along, arguing that the law will help ensure students have access to quality education even if their parents cannot afford private school tuition.
sen. Lou ann linehan of elkhorn speaks during a news conference addressing the outcome of the special legislative session at the capitol aug. 20 in lincoln.
kenneth ferriera, journal star file photo sen. Lou ann linehan of elkhorn, the bills sponsor, said without the law the state is leaving kids behind. Sen. Justin wayne of omaha, the only democrat in the legislature who voted for the bill, said high-quality education should be a right — not a chance.
justin wayne.
and what i mean by chance is the chance that you have a good enough job to pay for your kid to go somewhere (or) the chance that you happen to live in a neighborhood that you can afford, where you have a local good school, wayne said, adding: no matter where you live, a parent should have access to a high-quality education for their students.
the lawmakers also seemed to take personal offense to the ad, saying its backers should be ashamed of themselves.
moser
i hope whoever paid for that commercial is proud of themselves for putting that on tv and showing students purportedly being disrespected by state senators, said sen. Mike moser of columbus. That is not the truth. Thats prejudicial. Why did they do that? Because it made people mad, but its not based on the truth.
at several points, they attacked nsea president tim royers — who stood in the rotunda throughout the 45-minute news conference — by name. Sen. Julie slama of dunbar called royers, a public school teacher from millard, a union thug.
in remarks to reporters afterward, royers noted the ad lawmakers decried monday hit airwaves long after an ad paid for by keep kids first nebraska, the linehan-backed group that formed to compete with support our schools, suggested the teacher union-backed group working to repeal lb1402 would embrace the woke agenda in our schools.
we didnt care, because as teachers, we have thick skins, and we move on, he said. And we put out one tongue-in-cheek ad and it merits a 45-minute press conference.
royers
courtesy photo asked to respond to the lawmakers assertion that his groups ad made inaccurate claims, royers pointed to a report from the legislatures own fiscal office last year that analyzed the now-repealed private school scholarship program that lb1402 replaced and determined mass transfers of public school students likely wouldnt reduce the cost of a school districts operations — but could reduce the amount of state aid available to schools.
the only other alternative beyond program cuts is to look at property taxes, royers said, adding: thats not hyperbole.
but nothing in lb1402 as written would lead to immediate cuts to public school funding or hiked property taxes.
royers said his groups campaign to repeal the law is so much more about the future than just next year, warning that the initial $10 million appropriation to private schools could only be a precursor to an expanded state-funded private school system.
in arizona, after state lawmakers expanded its longtime private school scholarship program in 2022, the program cost 1,346% more than projected, according to a nonprofit group in that state .
the majority of students who utilized the vouchers in arizona were not public school transfers, but previously enrolled private school students who were using the state-funded scholarships to subsidize their costs.
arizonas program started off at around the same cost that (nebraska lawmakers are) citing; now its costing that state nearly a billion dollars, royers said. So were looking at it much longer in the future because ... We have a lot of states that we can look at to see what happens down the road once a program gets implemented.
both camps are essentially rehashing the same argument that has surrounded state-funded private school scholarships in nebraska since the legislature established the initial voucher program in 2023 , when opponents argued that policy harms students, families and schools by diverting would-be public school funding to private and parochial schools that don’t have to accept every student.
backers of the concept say the program provides an opportunity for students, including kids from low-income families and kids trying to escape bullying, to attend private schools they may otherwise be priced out of.
john arch
its not about the schools. Its not about the teachers. Its about the student, sen. John arch of la vista said monday. There are students where this just doesnt fit, and they have no options. They have no choice. And thats what we were trying to do with lb1402.
but the lawmakers at mondays news conference also acknowledged that their attempts to provide state funding to private schools would not stop with lb1402 — even if nebraskans vote to repeal it next month.
linehan, who is term-limited and will not return to the legislature in january, said she would be surprised if lawmakers dont try to pass so-called school choice legislation again next year if the law is repealed.
she said shes not putting much value into a repeal vote when voters have been lied to. Linehan and other lawmakers accused support our schools of spending $5 million to mislead voters while facing no opposition.
the group had spent $1.51 million on its campaign this year through the end of september, according to its latest financial disclosure filings. Keep kids first, the opposition group working in support of the law, had spent $78,893 through the end of september, according to its latest filings.
lawmakers on monday repeatedly took aim at the teachers union-backed group over its lavish spending on its campaign — the second support our schools has carried out in as many years to repeal private school scholarship measures.
and going forward, there will be other scholarship programs, said moser, the lawmaker from columbus who will return for his last biennium in january. Im sure most other states have programs that are much more substantive than what nebraska has, so there may be more.
so are you going to spend millions of dollars next year to battle another bill if it passes that helps provide options for school kids to go to school? I mean, where does it stop?
moments later, royers said public schools backers would return to the mat as many times as needed to prevent the state from funding private schools.
this is a fundamental issue, red line in the sand, he said. Well keep doing this.

| UNC rallys no more Hillel chant sparks campus controversy - The Jerusalem Post |

During a rally hosted by the university of north carolina (unc) at chapel hill’s chapter of students for justice in palestine (sjp) on october 9, one speaker called for “an end to study abroad programs in israel, academic research citing israeli universities, and university divestment from israel and israeli-supporting companies.” The speaker continued, “no more hillel.”
these words, it was reported by the student newspaper, the daily tar heel, “were met with cheers from the crowd.”
sjp issued a statement to the newspaper that hillel is “a fundamentally zionist network masquerading as a jewish campus organization.”
hillel is a 100-year-old jewish campus organization serving more than 180,000 students each year at more than 850 colleges and universities around the world.
much of the organization’s programming focuses on jewish learning, observing the jewish holidays and shabbat, arts and culture, and building the elements of a meaningful jewish life.

a few days after the rally, unc conducted its installation of its new chancellor. Demonstrators outside the academic hall where the installation took place chanted, “it is right to rebel, unc burn in hell.”
one of the benefits of free speech is that when people say foolish things, everyone gets to see them be foolish.
six winners of the nobel prize in chemistry are from israel and have made major contributions to our understanding of molecular genetics, protein chemistry, and chemical reactions.
as an academic physician, i am not going to stop citing their research, nor am i going to deny my patients the benefits of their research.
similarly, will my colleagues in the economics department cease citing research from the three israeli nobel laureates in economics? I think not. Stay updated with the latest news!

trying to disrupt the inauguration of the university’s chancellor over the situation in gaza is pointless.
do unc student activists disrupt the inauguration of campus leaders because of iran’s attempt to get nuclear weapons?
north korea’s threats against world peace? Russia’s invasion of ukraine? Syria’s attacks on its own population?
as a chancellor, i can assure these “activists” that no president or prime minister is calling me for my advice on the conduct of their foreign policy.
when you’re a unc student shouting that a university that has educated teachers, doctors, lawyers, dentists, senators, and a us president for more than 200 years should “burn in hell,” you’ve met the definition of “biting the hand that feeds you.” A chilling and foolish chant
what is both chilling and foolish is the call for “no more hillel.”
innumerable american college students have gone to hillels on their campus to pray at the campus synagogue, attend passover seders, or have a kosher meal.
calling prayer services or eating kosher food a conspiratorial “fundamentally zionist network” is nonsensical. Asserting that there is no right of the jewish people to a national homeland or that israel has no right to self-defense after the mass murders, rapes, and hostage-taking of october 7, 2023, suggests that the sjp students might benefit from more time listening to alternative points of view and less time shouting slogans.
attempts by sjp to play the victim by asserting that they don’t hate jews, they are “just criticizing israeli policy,” is remarkably tone-deaf.
i have never encountered a campus demonstration by students demanding that the roman catholic student organization, the newman center, or the southern baptist student organization be kicked off campus because of differing opinions on abortion for pregnancy termination.
the campus must, in the view of sjp, only be made judenrein – the nazi term for “cleansing the area of jews.”
since the chanting students and faculty seem to possess neither much sense nor manners, those with both sense and manners are permitted to remind them that radicals with academic tenure and radical chic apologists for terrorism may enjoy strolling the cloistered leafy walkways of the university, but they are both practitioners of the oldest hate: antisemitism.
the writer, an md, ma, is the chancellor/ceo at new york medical college, a member of touro university, where he also teaches history of medicine. This essay represents his opinion and not that of the college. |

pixar animation studios is an [american](/wiki/united_states) computer animation film studio based in emeryville, [california](/wiki/california), and is part of the [the walt disney studios](/wiki/the_walt_disney_studios). To date, the studio has earned 27 academy awards, eight golden globes, and three grammys, along with many other awards and acknowledgements.
it is best known for its revolutionary cgi-animated feature films created with photorealistic renderman, its own implementation of the industry-standard renderman image-rendering application programming interface used to generate high-quality images. Pixar began in [1979](/wiki/1979) as the graphics group, part of the computer division of [lucasfilm](/wiki/lucasfilm) before it was acquired by [apple, inc.](/Wiki/apple,_inc.) Founder [steve jobs](/wiki/steve_jobs) in [1986](/wiki/1986). [The walt disney company](/wiki/the_walt_disney_company) bought pixar in [2006](/wiki/2006) at a valuation of $7.4 billion; the transaction made jobs the largest shareholder in disney. It is currently one of the main four disney branches, the other three being the [disney animated canon](/wiki/disney_animated_canon), the [marvel cinematic universe](/wiki/marvel_cinematic_universe), and [star wars](/wiki/star_wars).
pixar has produced twenty-eight feature films, beginning with [toy story](/wiki/toy_story) in [1995](/wiki/1995), which is best known for being the first full-length feature film made in cgi animation format ever.
eighteen of the films has received both critical and financial success, with the notable exceptions being cars 2, the good dinosaur, onward, and lightyear. The former, which, although was a financial success, received substantially less praise than pixars previous films, while the latter, although met with favorable reviews, was a considered a box office flop (mostly due to the covid-19 pandemic in 2020). As of december 2013, its feature films have made over $8.5 billion worldwide, with an average worldwide gross of $607 million per film. In addition, a good majority of the films produced by pixar are among or have been the top 50 highest-grossing animated films of all time, with finding nemo (#47), finding dory (#32), toy story 3 (#26), and incredibles 2 (#15) all currently in the top 50 highest-grossing films of all time.
since the awards inauguration in [2001](/wiki/2001), most of pixars films have been nominated for the academy award for best animated feature, with ten winning; finding nemo, the incredibles, ratatouille, wall-e, up, toy story 3, brave, inside out, coco, toy story 4, and soul. Up and toy story 3 are two of only three animated films to be nominated for the academy award for best picture.
on [september 6](/wiki/september_6), [2009](/wiki/2009), executives [john lasseter](/wiki/john_lasseter), [brad bird](/wiki/brad_bird), [pete docter](/wiki/pete_docter), [andrew stanton](/wiki/andrew_stanton), and [lee unkrich](/wiki/lee_unkrich) were presented with the golden lion for lifetime achievement by the biennale venice film festival. The award was granted by lucasfilm founder [george lucas](/wiki/george_lucas).
in [ralph breaks the internet](/wiki/ralph_breaks_the_internet), [anna](/wiki/anna) referred to pixar as the other studio.
it is a member of disneys big three animation studios, the other two being [walt disney animation studios](/wiki/walt_disney_animation_studios) and [20th century animation](/wiki/20th_century_animation).
history of pixar
early history
pixar was founded as the graphics group, one third of the computer division of [lucasfilm](/wiki/lucasfilm) which was launched in [1979](/wiki/1979) with the hiring of dr. Ed catmull from the new york institute of technology (nyit), where he was in charge of the computer graphics lab (cgl). At nyit, the researchers pioneered many of the cg foundation techniques—in particular the invention of the alpha channel (by catmull and alvy ray smith); years later, the cgl produced an experimental film called the works.
after moving to lucasfilm, the team worked on creating the precursor to renderman, called reyes (for renders everything you ever saw) and developed a number of critical technologies for cg—including particle effects and various animation tools.
the team began working on film sequences with industrial light & magic on special effects in [1982](/wiki/1982). After years of research, and key milestones in films such as the genesis effect in star trek ii: the wrath of khan and the stained glass knight in young sherlock holmes, the group, which numbered about 45 individuals at the time, was purchased in february [1986](/wiki/1986) by steve jobs shortly after he left apple computer. Jobs paid $5 million to george lucas and put $5 million as capital into the company.
a factor contributing to lucas sale was an increase in cash flow problems following his [1983](/wiki/1983) divorce, which coincided with the sudden drop-off in revenues from [star wars](/wiki/star_wars) licenses following the release of return of the jedi. Pixar spun off from lucasfilm as a result. The newly independent company was headed by jobs, who served as chairman and chief executive officer of pixar. Dr. Edwin catmull served as chief technology officer and dr. Alvy ray smith as executive vice president and director. In [2001](/wiki/2001), edwin catmull was named president of pixar.
initially, pixar was a high-end computer hardware company whose core product was the [pixar image computer](/wiki/pixar_image_computer), a system primarily sold to government agencies and the medical community. One of the buyers of pixar image computers was disney studios, which was using the device as part of their secretive caps project, using the machine and custom software to migrate the laborious ink and paint part of the 2-d animation process to a more automated and thus efficient method. The image computer never sold well. In a bid to drive sales of the system, pixar employee [john lasseter](/wiki/john_lasseter)—who had long been creating short demonstration animations, such as [luxo jr.](/Wiki/luxo_jr.), To show off the devices capabilities—premiered his creations at siggraph, the computer graphics industrys largest convention, to great fanfare.
as poor sales of pixars computers threatened to put the company out of business, lasseters animation department began producing computer-animated commercials for outside companies. Early successes included campaigns for tropicana, listerine, life savers, and terminator 2: judgment day. In april [1990](/wiki/1990), jobs sold pixars hardware division, including all proprietary hardware technology and imaging software, to vicom systems, and transferred 18 of pixars approximate 100 employees.
the same year, pixar moved from san rafael to richmond, california. During this period, pixar continued its relationship with [walt disney feature animation](/wiki/walt_disney_feature_animation), a studio whose corporate parent would ultimately become its most important partner. In [1991](/wiki/1991), after a tough start of the year when about 30 employees in the companys computer department had to go (including the companys president, chuck kolstad), which reduced the total number of employees to just 42, pixar made a $26 million deal with disney to produce three 3d computer-animated feature films, the first of which was [toy story](/wiki/toy_story). At that point, the software programmers, who were doing renderman and caps, and lasseters animation department, who made television commercials and a few shorts for sesame street, was all that was left of pixar.
despite the total income of these products, the company was still losing money, and jobs often considered selling it. Even as late as [1994](/wiki/1994), jobs contemplated selling pixar to other companies, among them microsoft. Only after confirming that disney would distribute [toy story](/wiki/toy_story) for the 1995 holiday season did he decide to give it another chance. The film went on to gross more than $350 million worldwide. Later that year, pixar held its initial public offering on [november 29](/wiki/november_29), [1995](/wiki/1995), and the companys stock was priced at us$22 per share.
disney
pixar and disney had disagreements after the production of [toy story 2](/wiki/toy_story_2). Originally intended as a straight-to-video release (and thus couldve been part of pixars three-picture deal), the film was eventually upgraded to a theatrical release during production. Pixar demanded that the film then is counted toward the three-picture agreement, but disney refused. Pixars first five feature films have collectively grossed more than $2.5 billion, equivalent to the highest per-film average gross in the industry.
though profitable for both, pixar later complained that the arrangement was not equitable. Pixar was responsible for creation and production, while disney handled marketing and distribution. Profits and production costs were split 50-50, but disney exclusively owned all story and sequel rights and also collected a distribution fee. The lack of story and sequel rights was perhaps the most onerous aspect to pixar and set the stage for a contentious relationship.
the two companies attempted to reach a new agreement in early [2004](/wiki/2004). The new deal would be only for distribution, as pixar intended to control production and own the resulting film properties themselves. The company also wanted to finance their films on their own and collect 100 percent of the profits, paying disney only the 10 to 15 percent distribution fee. More importantly, as part of any distribution agreement with disney, pixar demanded control over films already in production under their old agreement, including [the incredibles](/wiki/the_incredibles) and [cars](/wiki/cars). Disney considered these conditions unacceptable, but pixar would not concede.
disagreements between steve jobs and then disney chairman and ceo [michael eisner](/wiki/michael_eisner) made the negotiations more difficult than they otherwise might have been. They broke down completely in mid-2004, with jobs declaring that pixar was actively seeking partners other than disney. Pixar did not enter negotiations with other distributors. After a lengthy hiatus, negotiations between the two companies resumed following the departure of eisner from disney in september [2005](/wiki/2005).
in preparation for potential fallout between pixar and disney, jobs announced in late 2004 that pixar would no longer release movies at the disney-dictated november time frame, but during the more lucrative early summer months. This would also allow pixar to release dvds for their major releases during the christmas shopping season. An added benefit of delaying cars was to extend the time frame remaining on the pixar-disney contract to see how things would play out between the two companies.
pending the disney acquisition of pixar, the two companies created a distribution deal for the intended [2007](/wiki/2007) release of [ratatouille](/wiki/ratatouille), in case the acquisition fell through, to ensure that this one film would still be released through disneys distribution channels. (In contrast to the earlier disney/pixar deal, ratatouille was to remain a pixar property and disney would have received only a distribution fee.) The completion of disneys pixar acquisition, however, nullified this distribution arrangement. Unlike the earlier pixar/disney deal used for the earlier films, this one has the following caveats:
- pixar is responsible for 100% of the production costs.
- pixar owns the film and the rights to the characters.
- disney is paid only a straight distribution fee.
acquisition by disney
disney announced on [january 24](/wiki/january_24), [2006](/wiki/2006) that it had agreed to buy pixar for approximately $7.4 billion in an all-stock deal. Following pixar shareholder approval, the acquisition was completed [may 5](/wiki/may_5), 2006. The transaction catapulted steve jobs, who was the majority shareholder of pixar with 50.1%, to disneys largest individual shareholder with 7% and a new seat on its board of directors. Jobs new disney holdings exceeded holdings belonging to former ceo [michael eisner](/wiki/michael_eisner), the previous top shareholder, who still held 1.7%; and disney director emeritus [roy e. Disney](/wiki/roy_e._disney), who held almost 1% of the corporations shares. Pixars shareholders received 2.3 shares of disney common stock for each share of pixar common stock redeemed.
as part of the deal, [john lasseter](/wiki/john_lasseter), by then executive vice president, became chief creative officer (reporting to president and ceo [robert iger](/wiki/bob_iger) and consulting with disney director roy disney) of both pixar and the [walt disney animation studios](/wiki/walt_disney_animation_studios), as well as the principal creative adviser at [walt disney imagineering](/wiki/walt_disney_imagineering), which designs and builds the companys [theme parks](/wiki/walt_disney_parks_and_resorts). Catmull retained his position as president of pixar, while also becoming president of walt disney animation studios, reporting to bob iger and dick cook, chairman of walt disney studio entertainment. Steve jobs position as pixars chairman and chief executive officer was also removed, and instead, he took a place on the disney board of directors.
lasseter and catmulls oversight of both the disney and pixar studios did not mean that the two studios were emerging, however. In fact, additional conditions were laid out as part of the deal to ensure that pixar remained a separate entity, a concern that analysts had expressed about the disney deal. Some of those conditions were that pixar hr policies would remain intact, including the lack of employment contracts. Also, the pixar name was guaranteed to continue, and the studio would remain in its current emeryville, california location with the pixar sign. Finally, branding of films made post-merger would be disney•pixar (beginning with [cars](/wiki/cars)).
jim morris, producer of [wall-e](/wiki/wall-e_(film)), has been named general manager of pixar. In this new position, morris is in charge of the day-to-day running of the studio facilities and products. There were additional conditions laid out as part of the deal to ensure that pixar remains a separate entity, a concern that many analysts had about the disney deal [[1]]http://biz.Yahoo.Com/rb/060126/media_pixar_disney.Html?.V=1:
- if pixar should pull out of the deal, they must pay disney a penalty of us $210 million.
- the disney board would include steve jobs.
- john lasseter has the authority to approve films for both disney and pixar studios, with disney ceo robert iger carrying final approving authority.
- the deal requires that pixars primary directors and creative executives must also join the combined company. This includes
[andrew stanton](/wiki/andrew_stanton), pete docter, brad bird, bob peterson,[brenda chapman](/wiki/brenda_chapman), lee unkrich, and gary rydstrom. - There would be a steering committee that will oversee animation for both disney and pixar studios, with a mission to maintain and spread the pixar culture. This committee will consist of catmull, lasseter, jobs, iger, cook, and
[tom staggs](/wiki/thomas_o._staggs). They would meet at pixar headquarters at least once every two months. - Pixars hr policies would remain intact, including the lack of employment contracts.
- ensures the pixar name would continue, and that the studio would remain in its current emeryville, california location with the pixar sign.
- branding of films made post-merger would disney pixar.
expansion
on [april 20](/wiki/april_20), [2010](/wiki/2010), pixar animation studios opened a new studio in the downtown area of vancouver, british columbia, canada. The roughly 2,000 square meters studio is primarily producing shorts and tv specials based on characters from pixars feature films. The studios first production was the [cars toons](/wiki/cars_toons:_mater%27s_tall_tales) episode [air mater](/wiki/air_mater).
traditions
while some of pixars first animators were former cel animators, including john lasseter, they also came from stop motion animation and/or computer animation or were fresh college graduates. A large number of animators that make up the animation department at pixar were hired around the time pixar released [a bugs life](/wiki/a_bug%27s_life) and [toy story 2](/wiki/toy_story_2). Although [toy story](/wiki/toy_story) was a successful film, it was pixars only feature film at the time. The majority of the animation industry was and is still located in [los angeles](/wiki/los_angeles), california, while pixar is located 350 miles north in the san francisco bay area. Also, traditional 2-d animation was still the dominant medium for feature animated films.
with the death of los angeles–based animators - including [joe ranft](/wiki/joe_ranft) - willing to move their families so far north, give up traditional animation, and try computer animation, pixars new-hires at this time either came directly from the college or had worked outside feature animation. For those who had traditional animation skills, the pixar animation software (marionette) is designed so that traditional animators would require a minimum amount of training before becoming productive.
in an interview with pbs talk show host tavis smiley, lasseter said that pixar films follow the same theme of self-improvement as the company itself has: with the help of friends or family, a character ventures out into the real world and learns to appreciate his friends and family. At the core, lasseter said, its gotta be about the growth of the main character, and how he changes.
pixar has been criticized for its lack of female protagonists. [Brave](/wiki/brave), pixars 13th cinema release, is the studios first with a female lead (voiced by [kelly macdonald](/wiki/kelly_macdonald)). By the mpaa, most of the films are rated g, while 15 of them are rated pg (the incredibles, up, brave, inside out, the good dinosaur, finding dory, coco, incredibles 2, onward, soul, luca, turning red, lightyear, elemental, and inside out 2). However, the g rated cars 2 contained violence and rude humor, making it be considered to be too dark for its rating. Except for cars 2, their films have had positive reviews, with 10 films (the only exceptions being cars, brave, monsters university, the good dinosaur, cars 3, and onward) being above 90% on rotten tomatoes.
all pixar films are box office successes except for the good dinosaur, which worldwide made $317.5 million on a $200 million budget, and onward made $109.4 million in worldwide on a $200 million budget.
sequels, prequels, and spin-offs
[toy story 2](/wiki/toy_story_2) was commissioned by disney as a direct-to-video, 60-minute film. Feeling the material was not very good, [john lasseter](/wiki/john_lasseter) convinced the pixar team to start from scratch and make that their third full-length feature film. Toy story 3 was the second big-screen sequel and was released on june 18, 2010. On [june 27](/wiki/june_27), [2011](/wiki/2011), [tom hanks](/wiki/tom_hanks) implied that a fourth toy story movie was in the works, and in [2015](/wiki/2015), toy story 4 was announced for a june 16, 2017 release date. On february 8, 2023 during a call, disney ceo bob iger announced that [toy story 5](/wiki/toy_story_5) is in development.
pixar states that they believe that sequels should only be made if they can come up with a story as good as the original. Following the release of toy story 2, pixar and disney had a gentlemens agreement that disney would not make any sequels without pixars involvement, despite their right to do so. In 2004, after pixar announced they were unable to agree on a new deal, disney announced that they would go ahead with sequels to pixars films with or without pixar. Toy story 3 was put into pre-production at the new cgi division of walt disney feature animation, circle 7 animation.
when lasseter was placed in charge of all disney and pixar animation following the merger, he shut down circle 7 and immediately put all sequels on hold; disney stated that toy story 3 had been canceled. However, in may [2006](/wiki/2006), it was announced that toy story 3 was back in pre-production, under pixars control when a new plot had been conceived.
in 2020, pete docter revealed a spin-off to toy story titled lightyear.
cars 2, the studios third theatrical sequel, was released on june 24, 2011.
lasseter further fueled speculation on future sequels when he stated, if we have a great story, well do a sequel. Cars 2, pixars first sequel not based on toy story, was officially announced on [april 8](/wiki/april_8), [2008](/wiki/2008).
monsters university, the prequel to monsters, inc. And pixars first prequel, was announced on [april 22](/wiki/april_22), [2010](/wiki/2010), for release on [november 2](/wiki/november_2), [2012](/wiki/2012). However, on [april 5](/wiki/april_5), [2011](/wiki/2011), it was announced that the films release date had been pushed back to [june 21](/wiki/june_21), [2013](/wiki/2013), due to the success of pixar films that are released in the summer, according to disney distribution executive chuck viane.
in [2014](/wiki/2014), brad bird claimed to have begun pre-production on a sequel to the incredibles, with it being eventually revealed as [incredibles 2](/wiki/incredibles_2).
after toy story 4, pixar chief pete docter said that the studio would take a break from sequels and focus on original projects. However, in a later interview, docter said the studio would have to return to making sequels at some point as they are more financially secure and help keep the studio running. On september 9, 2022, during the d23 expo, docter and [amy poehler](/wiki/amy_poehler) (voice of joy) confirmed that [inside out 2](/wiki/inside_out_2) was in the works, and was released on june 14, 2024. In august 2024, during the d23 expo, docter announced that [incredibles 3](/wiki/incredibles_3) is in development, with brad bird returning as the director.
expansion to television
[toy story](/wiki/toy_story) was the first pixar film to be extended into television, with the [buzz lightyear of star command film](/wiki/buzz_lightyear_of_star_command:_the_adventure_begins) and [tv series](/wiki/buzz_lightyear_of_star_command), plus a series of shorts known as [toy story toons](/wiki/toy_story_toons), which not only run between regular [disney channel](/wiki/disney_channel) shows, but all of them were also shown theatrically in front of certain movies.
[cars](/wiki/cars) was expanded to television via [cars toons](/wiki/cars_toons), two different lineups of shorts running between regular disney channel shows. The first batch was known as maters tall tales (3 to 5 minutes), where [mater](/wiki/mater) (voiced by comedian [larry the cable guy](/wiki/larry_the_cable_guy)) tells [lightning mcqueen](/wiki/lightning_mcqueen) (voiced by [keith ferguson](/wiki/keith_ferguson)) a story about something he did in the past that is eventually revealed to be real. The second batch was known as tales from radiator springs (around 1 minute), where different characters get into a quick scenario. Only 1 of these shorts feature [owen wilson](/wiki/owen_wilson) reprising mcqueen. The series has also had its own [tv series](/wiki/cars_on_the_road) released on [disney+](/wiki/disney%2b).
[monsters, inc.](/Wiki/monsters,_inc.) Extended into television through [monsters at work](/wiki/monsters_at_work), which takes place before the epilogue in the original movie and sees [tylor tuskmon](/wiki/tylor_tuskmon) trying to get accepted to be part of the laugh floor while helping his friends and co-workers as a mechanic in the monsters, inc. Facilities team.
animation and live-action
all pixar films to date have been computer-animated features ([wall-e](/wiki/wall-e_(film)) has so far been the only pixar film not to be completely animated, featuring a small live-action element). 1906, a planned live-action film by [brad bird](/wiki/brad_bird) about the 1906 san francisco earthquake, was once reported to be in development. Bird has stated that he was interested in moving into the live-action realm with some projects while staying at pixar because its a very comfortable environment for me to work in. However, while nothing came of 1906, pixar did develop a live-action reality show for disney+, known as [pixar: in real life](/wiki/pixar:_in_real_life).
product pipeline
in 2008, pixar announced [newt](/wiki/newt), a story about the last two blue-footed newts in existence destined to mate to save their species from extinction, scheduled for release in june 2012. This project was to be followed by the fantasy film the bear and the bow.
in april 2010, disney/pixar announced that, instead, the bear and the bow would be released first, under the new name brave, followed by a sequel (technically a prequel) to their 2001 feature [monsters, inc.](/Wiki/monsters,_inc.) Later that year. Newt was also removed from the official disney a to z encyclopedia supplement by chief archivist dave smith, who confirmed that the film had been canceled. In may 2011, pixar cco john lasseter implied that newt had been shelved due to it having a similar plot-line to [blue sky studios](/wiki/blue_sky_studios) film rio (which is now under the disney umbrella). Edwin catmull revealed in may 2014, before being cancelled, the project was turned over to pete docter, who said that while he would direct it, he had another idea altogether that he, and eventually the rest of pixar, thought was better; that idea would become [inside out](/wiki/inside_out), released in 2015.
in april 2012, pixar announced their intention to create a film centered on the mexican holiday día de los muertos and to be directed by [lee unkrich](/wiki/lee_unkrich), under the new name [coco](/wiki/coco_(film)).
executive leadership
up until his death in late 2011, jobs continued in his role as chairman and was also the companys ceo. Catmull remains president. Lasseter —a two-time academy award-winning director and animator— oversaw all the companys projects as executive vice president of the creative department until 2018, when he left pixar and pete docter became the new executive vice president of the creative department. Other notable members of the executive team are sarah mcarthur (executive vice president of production), simon bax (executive vice president and cfo), and lois scali (executive vice president and general counsel).
exhibitions
since december 2005, pixar has held exhibitions celebrating the art and artists of pixar, over their first twenty years in animation.
pixar: 20 years of animation
pixar held one such exhibition, from april to june 2010, at science centre singapore, in jurong east, singapore. It was their first time holding an exhibition in singapore.
the exhibition highlights consist of work-in-progress sketches from various pixar productions, clay sculptures of their characters, and an auto-stereoscopic short showcasing a 3d version of the exhibition pieces which is projected through 4 projectors. Another highlight is the zoetrope, where visitors of the exhibition are shown figurines of toy story characters animated in real-life through the zoetrope.
the logo is the same as the 1995 version, except as the screen darkens to reveal only luxos light, 20 years of animation appears on-screen, with luxos light as the 0.
pixar: 25 years of animation
pixar celebrated 25 years of animation in 2011 with the release of its twelfth feature film [cars 2](/wiki/cars_2). Pixar had celebrated its 20th anniversary with the [first cars](/wiki/cars).

what if ___ had feelings?
a common fan meme is the above question stating that each pixar movie (and/or franchise) focuses on a certain species as if they had feelings like ordinary humans.
not only pixar, but the sony movie, sausage party, which is essentially a parody of pixar movies, was also inspired by this question as [seth rogen](/wiki/seth_rogen) (who played frank in the film) had asked it.

In the name of allah, the most merciful, the bestower of mercy.
allah [the exalted] said:
???????? ???????????? ????????? ???????????????? ????????? ????? ???????? ????? ????????? ??????? ????? ???? ???????? ????? ???????????????
then when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad [and proud] with that which they had of the knowledge [of worldly things]: and that at which they used to mock, surrounded them [i.E. The punishment]. [Ghaafir. 83]
every constructed ideology attracts its share of uncritical adherents, extremists, and oppressors. It is not surprising that some of the so-called enlightened authorities or scholars in the field of worldly sciences engage in various forms of criminal behaviour and mischief. Many of us, having progressed through primary and secondary education, as well as colleges and universities, are familiar with charles darwin’s work “savages and favoured races,” which undeniably serves as a foundation for racial discrimination. Nevertheless, the trajectory of the arrogant and dogmatic eugenicists has resulted in further oppression, manifesting as crimes against the weak and vulnerable segments of society. Population eugenics involved encouraging individuals to reproduce in ways that yield preferred traits. Indeed, the believer remains entirely unencumbered by the agendas and ideologies of those who approach reproduction solely to advance their materialistic or racist objectives—whether that be to generate future labourers for communists and capitalists or to inhibit certain societal groups from procreation under the guise of racial hygiene or out of a fear of poverty. We do not heed the voices of any malevolent individuals who attempt to instill fear regarding financial hardship, suggesting that having numerous children inevitably leads to a life of poverty.
umar, may allah be pleased with him, said: i heard allah’s messenger, peace and blessings of allah be upon him, saying, “if you were to put your trust in allah in the manner that he deserves, then you would be provided (with sustenance) as the birds are (provided for). They go out early in the day with empty stomachs and return at the end of the day with full (stomachs)’”.
imam muhammad ibn salih al-uthaymeen, may allah have mercy upon him, comments on the above hadith as follows:
“if you were to put your trust in allah in the manner that he deserves” – meaning, true reliance upon allah, complete dependence upon allah in seeking your provision and other than that. “Then you would be provided (with sustenance) as the birds are (provided for)”.
the bird’s sustenance is with allah. The birds do not have an owner, thus they fly in the air and set out early in day in search of allah’s provision. “They go out early in the day with empty stomachs” – in the early hours of the day with hunger and empty stomachs, as allah [glorified be he and free is he from all imperfections] said:
[?????? ???????? ??? ?????????? ?????? ???????????? ???????????? ??????? ??????? ???????? ????????? – But as for him who is forced by severe hunger, with no inclination to sin (such can eat these mentioned meats), then surely, allah is oft-forgiving, most merciful]. [Al-ma’idah. 3]
“they go out early in the day with empty stomachs”- nothing in their stomachs. However, they put their trust in their lord (the mighty and majestic], and “return at the end of the day with full stomach”. They return in the latter part of the day with stomachs filled with allah’s provision.
so there are proofs in this (hadith) with regards to some matters:
it is incumbent upon the person to truly depend on allah. Indeed, there is no living creature on the earth, except that its provision is due from allah. Even the bird in the sky, none holds it up in the sky and none provides for it besides allah. Every creature on the earth, be it as tiny as a small ant or huge like an elephant and its likes, its provision is due from allah, as allah [the exalted] said: [????? ??? ?????????? ??? ????????? ?????? ????? ??????? ????????? ?????????? ?????????????? ??????????????????? – And no (moving) living creature is there on earth but its provision is due from allaah. And he knows its dwelling place and its deposit (in the uterus, grave, etc.)]. [Surah hud. Verse 6]
indeed, the clearly misguided one is he who harbours suspicion about his lord. He says, “do not have many children because you will not have enough provision”. By the lord of the throne! They have lied because allah will give you more provision if you have more children. There is not a living creature on the earth except that its provision is due from allah. The provision for your children and little ones is due from allah. He (allah) is the one who opens the doors of provision for you, in order that you may spend on them. However, many people harbour an evil suspicion about allah and are dependent on materialistic ideas. They do not look at (the affairs) with far sightedness and in accordance with allah’s absolute ability, and that he [glorified be he and free is he from all imperfections] is the one who provides even if the children are many. The more children you have, the more provision you will be given. This is the correct (belief).
in this is evidence that the one who truly relies on allah will (also) utilise the means (to attaining what he seeks after). The misguided one is he who says, “i will not utilise the means and i am one who relies on allah”. This is not correct. The one who truly relies on allah is he who utilises the means whilst depending on allah [the mighty and majestic]. This is why he [i.E. The prophet] said, “then you would be provided (with sustenance), as the birds are (provided for). They go out early in the day with empty stomachs”. (The bird) goes out in search of sustenance and does not stay in its nest; rather it sets out early in search of sustenance. So, after truly depending on allah, you must (also) take the means that allah has provided in seeking permissible sustenance- through agriculture, trade, work and through any means of seeking sustenance. Seek sustenance whilst depending on allah and allah will make it easy for you to obtain it.
from the benefits of this hadith is that the birds and other than them among allah’s creation do know allah, as allah [glorified be he and free is he from all imperfections] said:
[????????? ???? ?????????????? ????????? ??????????? ????? ?????????? ????? ???? ?????? ?????? ????????? ??????????? ????????? ???? ??????????? ??????????????? – The seven heavens and the earth and all that is therein, glorify him and there is not a thing but glorifies his praise, but you understand not their glorification]. [Al-israa. 44]
???? ???? ????? ??????? ???????? ???? ? ??? ??? ?????????????? ????? ??? ????????? ??????????? ??????????? ???????????? ???????????? ??????????? ?????????????? ?????????? ????? ?????????? ????????? ????? ???????? ???????????? ????? ?????? ??????? ????? ???? ? ??? ??????????? ????? ??????? ???????? ??? ????????
see you not that to allah prostrates whoever is in the heavens and whoever is on the earth, and the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the mountains, and the trees, and ad-dawab (moving living creatures, beasts, etc.), And many of mankind? But there are many (people) on whom the punishment is justified. And whomsoever allaah disgraces, none can honour him. Verily! Allaah does what he wills. [Al-hajj. 18]
the birds do know their lord [the mighty and majestic]. The bird seeks after the provision allah has allocated for it through a natural disposition that guides it to what is beneficial for it, and returns to its nest in the early part of the evening with a full stomach. This is what it does everyday. Allah [the mighty and majestic] provides it with sustenance and makes it easy for it to obtain it. And look at the wisdom of allah?! How the birds set off early to a far away place and are guided back to their place of (residence) without failing to find it! (That is) because allah gave to each thing its form and nature, then guided it aright. [1]
shaikh abdul wahid abu khadeejah, may allah preserve him, said:
“according to scientists, another cause of poverty is population growth in countries that cannot afford to feed the extra mouths. Most rich countries have a stable population with roughly as many babies born as people dying. However, in poor countries, the populations seem to be increasing. Muslims, as rule, are not allowed to use contraception due to fear of not being able to provide for their children – they learn from the quran that allah will enrich them from himself from ways and means that he provides. Population control measures are not from the islamically legislated means to remove poverty – this is proven by the fact that there is sufficient food and resources in the world to feed the poor many times over daily! Added to that is the reality that large populations are a tremendous resource for a nation. Countries with large populations are quite often the wealthiest and have the fastest growing economies. Note: in certain situations, contraception is permitted and i have discussed that elsewhere. Islam teaches that poor people must be helped with education, skills, charity, better infrastructure and better health care. In this way the poor are not neglected and the wealth of the rich is purified in the sight of all?H through the giving of charity. People have large families because the family unit helps each other and they care for their elders. Death of young children is much higher in poorer countries due to sicknesses and disease. So, the muslims have a duty to help the poor, even if they are non-muslims. The prophet said, ‘give charity to people of other religions” (shaikh al-alb?N? Said it was an authentic had?Th, in as-saheehah). [2]
indeed, the legacy of the arrogant and opinionated eugenicists is well-known- those who engaged in their useless quest for a genetic overclass and so called reproduction of only perfect people, and thus discriminated against everyone with the slightest disability or deficiency! The nazis took this to the next level and committed atrocities – utilized eugenic ideology to justify large-scale forced sterilization and euthanasia. So called “positive eugenics” paid close attention to encouraging those of so-called “good stock” to reproduce, but those considered unfit for reproduction, such as the poor, criminals or the feeble-minded were discouraged or prevented through so-called “negative eugenics”. When this satanic idea was championed by some politicians and government officials, the wellbeing of the vulnerable in society was completely under the control of a people whose worldly sciences were devoid of the compassion, mercy and the upright moral character ordained by the creator of the heavens and the earth. The founder of the eugenics movement was called francis galton – [1822-1911]- and he was influenced by charles darwin’s kufr idea “the origin of species”. This galton concentrated on the idea of heritability of different traits, especially the heritability of intelligence and how to counter society’s so-called scarcity of talent and character, and that poverty, vagrancy and crime were due to the transfer of degenerate traits from parents to their child. His satanic ideas influenced some so-called intellectuals in britain, the us, germany and other countries at the time. Indeed, all praise and thanks be to allah, this not how a believer addresses problems in society, because it is nothing but seeking for scapegoats so as to justify neglect of the vulnerable in society. Some of those arrogant and opinionated eugenicists held that preventing the poor from having children was a means of protecting society because it stopped them from producing people similar to them. Thirty-two american states passed eugenic-sterilization laws during the twentieth century, and between sixty and seventy thousand people were sterilized under them. However, this had no effect in improving virtue. Imam as-sadi, may allah have mercy upon him, stated:
“among the most amazing of affairs is that many contemporary writers and politicians seek to remedy the many social ills and try to do so do from many angles, however as for the problem of deviation from the path of allah -whose surge has carried away the majority of young people, they have not rushed to stop it by returning to sound faith and certainty; rather they have been abandoned to wander blindly in their misguidance and wavering in beguilement, and thus the social ills they seek to remedy gives birth to other social ills, because if the path to remedying social ills is not based on sound faith and sound religion, they will increase and become worse”. [3]
he [may allah have mercy upon him] also said, “what type of progress is this? A progress whose people became like vicious wild animals and whose abiding practice is oppression, annihilation, colonization of weak nations and depriving them of their rights?” [4] the imam also said, “they developed these affairs through a development that is disconnected and severed from submission to all?H and the religion ordained by all?H… it has caused harm and led its proponents to savagery and barbarism whose outcomes has been destruction, ruin and evils that has no comparison”. [5]
he said, “indeed, it is impossible to rectify the souls and acquire virtue solely through the worldly sciences. Experience and clearly witnessed circumstances are the greatest proofs regarding this affair, because despite its advancement and vastness it has been unable to nurture and rectify the souls. What the religion of islam propagates is that which is entrusted with this rectification – it is what will guide the thoughts towards the truthful and authentic sources of knowledge and guide the actions of the people towards good and prevent them from evil. Islam is the rectifier of the creeds and manners- the thing that cultivates the thoughts [upon righteousness], urges towards virtuousness and prevents from depravity. The essence of that which the religion calls to regarding belief in the unseen, which includes belief in allaah and that which he possesses of names, attributes and actions of perfection; belief in angels, belief in recompense for one’s good and bad deeds in this life and the next, which cannot be known except through the messengers, is what acquaints a person with the fact that rectification – in reality – is not possible through other than sound belief and the religion of islaam. Therefore, even if the worldly sciences rectify [some] affairs based upon that which people know in detail, it will still not be equal [in perfection, excellence etc] to the knowledge of the messengers [in the least]. It will neither reach that which is reached through the knowledge of the messengers nor can it influence the souls in the manner in which the knowledge of the messengers has done; for indeed the souls do not voluntarily submit except through belief in allaah, belief in his angels, belief in his books, belief in his messengers and belief in the hereafter. And without this, voluntary submission is impossible, as is well known regarding human nature”. [6]
al-allamah rabee bin hadi, may allah preserve him, said:
“the knowledge brought by the prophets is rectification for the people, a guide for them towards the right path and removes them from the darkness they are living in – the darkness of disbelief and ignorance. As for the knowledge of the philosophers and the heretics, then what allah has stated truly applies to it:
???????? ???????????? ????????? ???????????????? ????????? ????? ???????? ????? ????????? ??????? ????? ???? ???????? ????? ???????????????
then when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things): and that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.E. The punishment)]. [Ghaafir 83]
it is the knowledge which the people boast about nowadays, whether it is medicine, engineering, astronomy, [modern] politics and economics. After the prophets came to them – to remove them from the darkness of ignorance and enter them into the light of the knowledge and iman, they were glad and boastful with the knowledge they possess, (just as allah has stated): “then when their messengers came to them with clear proofs, they were glad (and proud) with that which they had of the knowledge (of worldly things); and that at which they used to mock, surrounded them (i.E. The punishment)”. [Ghafir’ 83]
these sciences become a trial and tribulation if they are not regulated by the knowledge which muhammad [peace and blessings of allah be upon him] brought. [7]
therefore, be warned against embracing the ideas of eugenicists regarding population control! Imam abdul azeez bin baaz, may allah have mercy upon him, was asked about a husband and a wife who agreed not to have children and whether this is allowed. He responded and said that this agreement of theirs is not permissible. As long as the woman is able [to bear children], then it is not permissible for them to do this because the islamic legislation requires that the people give concern to bearing children and make the ummah numerous. The prophet [peace and blessings of allah be upon him] said, ‘marry the childbearing, loving woman for i shall outnumber the peoples by you on the day of resurrection’. In another wording [of this narration the prophet said], ‘outnumber [i.E. The followers of the other] prophets on the day of judgement’. That is because by way of this [i.E. Having many children] those who worship allah among the muslims will be numerous, the ummah will be numerous and strong in opposing their enemies.
it is not permissible for a man to abandon having children out of fear of either tiredness in seeking after a livelihood or due to difficulty, or due to expenditure, or due to a desire to enjoy one’s wife and other than that. It also not permissible for a woman to do this, rather it is obligated on both of them to pursue the means of having offspring -be eager to seek the means to having children so that the ummah becomes numerous and to fulfil what the prophet stated. However, if the woman either suffers a lot of pain due to an illness of the womb or she cannot give birth except by way of surgical operation, then this is an excuse to not have children. If the surgical operation [or caesarean] will harm her- it is feared that something will happen to her, and also if the children are many- born at close intervals and bringing them up becomes difficult upon her, then there is nothing to prevent her from taking some pills [or contraception] or some preventative measures for a year or two – the period of breastfeeding- so that she becomes strong enough to nurture the children and able to nurture the other newly born. [8]
therefore, let the muslim doctor fear allah when consulted. A doctor must fear allah with regards to those affairs about which one is consulted, especially that which is related to the rights of the people- such as when a sick person approaches him for a sick note or when in need of a medical note to prove that he is fit for employment, or when consulted regarding a particular type of medication, or whether the state of health of an individual (woman) allows her to utilise contraception in order not to get pregnant, or whether her state of health warrants the removal of her ovaries. It has been reported in a hadeeth by abu hurairah (may allah be pleased with him] who said that the messenger (peace and blessings of allah be upon him] said: [?????????????? ?????????? – The consultee is in a position of trust]. [9]
[?????????????? ?????????? – The consultee is in a position of trust]. [???????? -The consultee]: he is the one whose opinion is sought after regarding an affair of maslahah (i.E. An affair that will bring about benefit and repel harm). He is in a position of trust with regards to what he is asked and it is not permissible for him to deceive the one who consults him, by concealing the affair that would bring about benefit. [10]
this hadeeth is an evidence, showing that the consultee has to (advise) with the course of action and opinion -in relation to the consultation – that which he would do for himself. And it is not permissible that he directs his muslim brother to something he would not be pleased with for himself. [11]
the eugenicists were deprived of this fear of allah, rather they were opinionated and filled with arrogance, so they violated the rights of vulnerable people. Recently, thousands of japanese – who were forcibly sterilised – will receive government compensation after the government passed legislation and the prime minister shinzo abe apologized to the victims on behalf of the government. Nearly 16,500 mentally disabled people were sterilized in japan without their consent under the previous law that was abolished in 1996. Each victim is to receive $29,000. This started when a japanese woman, now in her 60s, sued the government because she was sterilized in 1972 after diagnosed with a mental disability. Under japan’s previous law, some leprosy patients were forced to have abortions because they were not allowed to have children. In 2005, a japanese court ordered the government to compensate a leprosy patient who was wronged by this law. Germany and sweden also had similar eugenics laws, but their governments have apologized and paid compensation to the victims.
moral responsibility violated by many amongst humankind
allah [the exalted] said:
?????? ????????? ???????????? ????? ?????????????? ??????????? ???????????? ?????????? ??? ????????????? ???????????? ??????? ??????????? ????????????? ??????? ? ????? ????????? ?????????
truly, we did offer al-amanah (the trust or moral responsibility or honesty and all the duties which allah has ordained) to the heavens and the earth, and the mountains, but they declined to bear it and were afraid of it (i.E. Afraid of allah’s torment). But the human being bore it. Verily, he was unjust (to himself) and ignorant (of its results). [Surah al-ahzaab. Verse 72]
abu dharr [may allah be pleased with him] reported that allah’s messenger [peace and blessings of allah be upon him] said, “allah – the almighty – said: o my servants! I have forbidden injustice for myself and i have forbidden it among you, so do not oppress one another’”. [Sahih muslim 2577]
al-allamah salih al-fawzan, may allah preserve him, said: what is dhulm -injustice or oppression? Dhulm [injustice (or oppression)] is of three types: the greatest of them is shirk (i.E. To ascribe partners to allah). And why is shirk referred as dhulm [injustice]? That is because the basis of injustice is to place something in other than its rightful place, and the meaning of shirk is to direct acts of worship to other than its rightful place and this is the greatest injustice, because when they (i.E. The people of shirk) directed acts of worship to other than its rightful place and to those who are not deserving of it, they equated the created (beings) to the creator, a weak one (i.E. A created being) to al-qawiy [the one perfect in strength (i.E. Allaah)], who is able to do everything. Therefore, is there any greater injustice after this? The second type of dhulm (oppression or injustice) is committed when a person oppresses himself by committing sins. A sinner oppresses himself because he exposes himself to punishment, even though it is obligated on him to save himself and place himself in an appropriate situation, and that is to obey allaah. The third type of dhulm (oppression or injustice) is committed when a person oppresses others (or commits injustice against them) by taking their wealth (unlawfully), backbiting them, spreading tales about them, stealing their wealth, violating their honour through backbiting, tale carrying, slander, or shedding their blood by way of unlawful murder, beating them, inflicting injuries, degrading them without right etc [12]
indeed, besides the disbelief of the colonialists – forefathers of the neocolonialists, they also commit oppression in different ways in the name of advancement and civilization. We read – in the history books – about the oppressive behaviour of the colonialists between the 15th and 18th centuries when they raided other lands, looted natural resources and transported millions of africans to the us to work in the plantations. Listen below:

then after this barbaric enterprise was abolished, it was replaced with another barbaric enterprise – neocolonialism. So, in 1884, the colonialists met in berlin and decided to share the colonies between themselves. Then came a time in which they decided to offer a so called independence to the colonies and amazing indeed was this offer! In one offer of independence, the colonialists said to the colonized, “we’ll grant you independence, but before doing so you must agree to the following: you must deposit 85% of your bank reserves with our ministry of finance – under our central bank. And with regards to all your discovered minerals or yet to be discovered, our companies have the ‘right of first refusal’. Your official language has to be our language, we’ll have a military presence in your country, your military can only be trained by our military, you can only buy military equipment from us, you cannot have any military alliance with your neighbours and in the event of war you must be on our side”. This was the independence offered! The money deposited in their ministry of finance was invested in their name and all the profits belonged to them. This is how some of them treated the colonies, yet they have the audacity to tell the whole world that the countries they’ve looted and oppressed for nearly over 400 years are poor- the very countries they continue to oppress economically. In addition to this, they constantly seek to demoralize the former colonies and give their economic situations different descriptions- sometimes referring to them as “the third world”, the “under-developed countries”, the “developing countries” etc. All these descriptions are utilized to demoralize the former colonies. Many of the neocolonialists talk about ethics, but how many are just in their mutual dealings?! Rather, self-interested individuals and groups do not give concern to anything other than finding ways and devising tactics to enslave the former colonies through usury.

indeed, it is impossible for countries that are always in bondage to lenders to take control of their economies, because as soon as a nation is heavily in debt, the lenders can easily gain the upper hand through structural adjustment policies (saps), which secures repayment of the debt and forces a county to adopt economic restructuring. So, in some cases, the weaker nation is forced to reduce spending on essential social services, such as healthcare provision, education and development, whilst repayment of the debt is given priority, as well as the possibility of giving the lender an easy access to the country’s raw materials. This is well known and whoever researches will come across a lot that has been written on the subject matter. Indeed, there is no benefit in providing financial assistance that is going to permanently make a nation dependent on another nation due to usury. Debt is a heavy burden, let alone when accompanied with usury. Aa’isha [may allaah be pleased with her] narrated that the prophet [peace and blessings of allaah be upon him] used to invoke allaah in the prayer [before the tasleem] saying, “o allaah, i seek refuge with you from the punishment of the grave and from the trial and affliction of maseeh ad-dajjaal and from trial and affliction of life and death. O allaah, i seek refuge with you from sins and from being in debt”. So somebody said to him, “why do you so frequently seek refuge with allah from being in debt?” The prophet (peace and blessings of allah be upon him) replied, “a person in debt tells lies whenever he speaks, and breaks promises whenever he makes (them)]”. [13]
imam ibn al-qayyim [may allah have mercy upon him] said, “the prophet [peace and blessings of allah be upon him] combined (in this supplication between seeking allah’s refuge) from sins and debt because sins necessitate loss in the afterlife and debt necessitates loss in the worldly life”. [14]
trade: also with regards to buying and selling, shaikh abdul wahid abu khadeejah [may allah preserve him] stated: “the way that countries buy and sell with each other does not always help people in poor countries. Producers of crops like wheat and rice will usually sell to the country that will pay them the most for it, so poor countries cannot compete and therefore cannot buy crops to feed their people. So these poor people have to grow their own crops to feed themselves. In many poor countries the rich farmers grow cash crops such as fruit and flowers that they sell to rich countries and their profit often does not help the poor people. So the muslim is always encouraged to give aid to those less fortunate, so that no one in the land remains hungry, unclothed or unsheltered. Islam has no problem with people becoming wealthy so long as the poor not are neglected; they must be taken care of, helped, educated and empowered to look after themselves. Wealthier muslims are obligated to give in charity (zak?T) every year, and each ramad?N (zak?T al-fitr)”. [15]
pay attention to what shaikh abu khadeejah [may allah preserve him] stated above about empowering and educating poor people and what some of the greedy colonialists stated in the past! Cecil rhodes stated: “we must find new lands from which we can easily obtain raw materials and at the same time exploit the cheap slave labour that is available from the natives of the colonies. The colonies would also provide a dumping ground for the surplus goods of our factories.” Nye bevin stated: “africa is a valuable source of manpower and raw materials. The us is very barren of essential minerals. In africa we have them all.” Larry summers stated: “i think the economic logic behind dumping a load of toxic waste in the lowest wage country is impeccable and we should face up to that.” These were some of their views and its effects are still witnessed in our era in many previous colonies in africa, asia and elsewhere. This is the behaviour of a people mentioned in the qur’an. Allah [the exalted] said:
?????? ?????????????????
????????? ????? ?????????? ????? ???????? ?????????????
??????? ?????????? ??? ???????????? ???????????
????? ??????? ?????????? ???????? ?????????????
???????? ???????
?????? ??????? ???????? ??????? ?????????????
woe to al-mutaffifin [those who give less in measure and weight (decrease the rights of others)], those who, when they have to receive by measure from men, demand full measure, and when they have to give by measure or weight to men, give less than due. Think they not that they will be resurrected (for reckoning), on a great day, the day when (all) mankind will stand before the lord of the ‘alamin (mankind, jinns and all that exists)? [Surah al-mutaffifeen]
prophet hud [peace be upon him] and his people
allah [the most high] said in surah hud ayah 88 that shu’aib [peace be upon him] said to his people: [??? ?????? ???????????? ??? ????? ?????? ????????? ???? ??????? – O my people! Tell me, if i have a clear evidence from my lord]- meaning: i am upon certainty and tranquillity regarding the correctness of [the message] i have brought. [??????????? ?????? ??????? ??????? – And he (allah) has given me a good sustenance from himself]- meaning: allah has given me various types of wealth.
[????? ??????? ???? ????????????? ?????? ??? ??????????? ?????? – I wish not, in contradiction to you, to do that which i forbid you]- meaning: i do not wish to forbid you from [the evil practice of giving lower in weight and measure by way of cheating in business transactions], yet i myself do the same and eventually you will charge me for doing so; rather i will not forbid you from an affair except that i will be the first person to hasten to abandon it; [???? ??????? ?????? ???????????? ??? ??????????? – I only desire reform so far as i am able, to the best of my power]- meaning: i do not have any other intentions [goals or aims] other than to rectify your state of affairs and the things that are of benefit to you. And because this statement of shu’aib contains something which may indicate that he is attributing piety to himself, he repels it with the statement [????? ?????????? ?????? ????????? – And my guidance cannot come except from allah]-meaning: the ability i have to do good and to refrain from evil is a bestowal from allah [the most high] and it is neither due to my strength nor power; [???????? ??????????? ?????????? ??????? – In him i trust and unto him i repent]- meaning: i rely on allah in all my affairs and suffice myself with him. I turn to allah in all the various acts of worship he has commanded me to draw close to him by performing good deeds. By way of these two affairs- seeking aid and assistance from allah, turning to him in repentance, complete submission and obedience- a person’s state of affairs becomes upright, just as allah [the most high] said in another aayah: [??????????? ??????????? ????????– So worship him (o muhammad) and put your trust in him]. [16]
therefore, the affair is not about so called overpopulation, rather the problem is due to kufr, which leads to every other evil, as imaam ibnul qayyim [may allaah have mercy upon him] said, “everyone with a bit of (sound) intellect knows that the corruption of the world and its ruin occurs due to giving precedence to opinion over the divine revelation and (evil) desires over sound intellect. These two corrupt motives are not entrenched in a heart except that its destruction becomes inevitable nor in a nation except that its affairs are completely corrupted”. [17]
our sins and change of circumstances
allah says:
?????? ?????????? ??? ???????? ??????????? ????? ???????? ??????? ???????? ???????????? ?????? ??????? ????????? ??????????? ???????????
evil (sins and disobedience of allah, etc.) Has appeared on land and sea because of what the hands of men have earned.
imam ibn al-qayyim, may allah have mercy upon him, said:
this ayah was revealed regarding the state of affairs of the world- the relationship between it and the events that occur. You see how the occurrence of those evil actions and defects (of the people) affects the harvest, vegetation and the animals in every era, and the manner in which those evil (affairs) necessitates other evils. And whenever the people initiate oppression and wickedness, their lord (the blessed and most high) brings about- from those evils and defects (of theirs)- deficiencies and harm in their nourishments, fruits, atmospheres, bodies, outward appearances and manners, as a justification for their deeds, acts of oppression and wickedness. The majority of the illnesses and the general evil affairs are remnants of the punishment inflicted upon the people of the previous nations; then there remained from that what remains, as a surprise punishment against those who remain upon the (evil) deeds of those previous nations. This is a just judgement and just decree. The prophet has pointed out this in his statement concerning plagues, that it is a remnant of an affliction or punishment that was sent by allah to the children of israa’eel. [18]
allah, the most high, says:
????? ??????? ??? ????????? ??? ???????? ??????? ??????????? ??? ?????????????
verily! Allah will not change the good condition of a people as long as they do not change their state of goodness themselves (by committing sins and by being ungrateful and disobedient to allah).
imam ibn al-jawzee, may allah have mercy upon him, said: whoever loves that the state of affairs should become rectified then let him strive in rectifying (his) deeds. Allah (the mighty and majestic) says:
????? ????? ???????????? ????? ???????????? ???????????????? ?????? ???????
if they had believed in allah, and went on the right way, we should surely have bestowed on them water (rain) in abundance. [19]
the danger of sinning whilst receiving more provision
allah says:
??????????? ????????? ??????????? ????????????????? ????? ?????? ??? ???????????
????????? ?????? ? ????? ??????? ???????
those who reject our ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.), We shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not. And i respite them; certainly my plan is strong.
[????????????????? – We shall gradually seize them with punishment] – by granting them plentiful provision and respite until they think that they will neither be taken to task for their disobedience nor punished, so they increase in disbelief and transgression, and evil upon evil. And through this their punishment is increased and multiplied, so they harm themselves in ways they perceive not. This is why allah says: [????? ??????? ??????? -Certainly my plan is strong]. [20]
????????????????? ????? ?????? ??? ???????????
“we shall gradually seize them with punishment in ways they perceive not”.
imam sufyan ath-thawree, may allah have mercy upon him, said that this means, “whenever they commit [major] sins, allah bestows a blessing on them and make them forgetful of seeking forgiveness”. [21]
istighfaar
imam al-qurtubi, may allah have mercy upon him, reported that bin subayh, may allah have mercy upon him, mentioned that man complained to imam al-hasan al-basri, may allah have mercy upon him, about drought. Al-hasan said to him, “seek allah’s forgiveness”. Another person complained about poverty, to which al-hasan similarly responded, “seek allah’s forgiveness”. A third person said to him, “supplicate to allah to grant me a child”, al-hasan again said to him, “seek allah’s forgiveness”. Then another complained about the dryness of his garden, al-hasan said to him, “seek allah’s forgiveness”. So, rabee bin sibayh said to him, “men came with different complaints and you commanded all of them to seek allah’s forgiveness!” He replied: “i did not say anything from myself, rather allah, the mighty and majestic, says in surah nuh:
???????? ?????????????? ????????? ???????? ????? ?????????
???????? ??????????? ????????? ???????????
????????????? ??????????? ????????? ????????? ??????? ???????? ????????? ??????? ??????????
i (nuh) said (to them): ‘ask forgiveness from your lord; verily, he is oft-forgiving; ‘he will send rain to you in abundance; and give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.” [22]

lee everett is a main character and a survivor of the outbreak in [the walking dead: the telltale series](/wiki/the_walking_dead:_the_telltale_series). He is the [protagonist](/wiki/protagonists) of [season one](/wiki/season_1_(telltale)). Lee was a history professor for the university of georgia for almost six years before he was fired from the job following his arrest. Convicted for the murder of the georgia state senator, [sam](/wiki/senator_sam_(telltale)), who slept with his [wife](/wiki/lee%27s_ex-wife_(telltale)), lee is freed from this fate by the apocalypse and encounters a young girl named [clementine](/wiki/clementine_(telltale)). He took clementine under his care, and the two met up with a group of [motel survivors](/wiki/motel_survivors_(telltale)). Lee rose up to protect them, becoming co-leader with kenny and lilly before becoming the sole leader of the group. Lees personality is, to some extent, up to the player, but he is consistently smart, independent and resourceful. Lee also cared deeply for clementine. It was because of lee that clementine learned how to defend herself from both people and the undead in the apocalypse. Until the very end of his life, he saved clementine from a stranger, but in the end he met his end knowing that clementine would live.
after lees death, clementine would always remember what they went through together. Everything he taught her how to use weapons and defend herself. Other people who knew lee, such as kenny, always spoke positively of him despite the differences between them, and people like [luke](/wiki/luke_(telltale)) would like to meet him.
overview
note: as the player character, several of lees actions cited in this article are determinant.
prior to the outbreak, lee was a professor who taught history for over six years at the [university of georgia](/wiki/university_of_georgia). He had a [mother](/wiki/mrs._everett_(telltale)), [father](/wiki/mr._everett_(telltale)), and a [brother](/wiki/b._everett_(telltale)) living in their hometown of [macon, georgia](/wiki/macon,_georgia), looking after their [family business](/wiki/everett_pharmacy_drugstore). Lee felt neglected by his family after he killed state senator [sam](/wiki/senator_sam_(telltale)) who had an affair with [his wife](/wiki/lee%27s_ex-wife_(telltale)), severely hurting his relationship with his family. Later on, lee finds out that hes lost his entire family, and takes it upon himself to kill his own reanimated brother, mortified at the loss of his family despite the walls that had come between them.
most of lees major decisions and dialogue are left up to the player; however, based on the choices given during conversations and lees automatic responses to certain events, its shown that he is smart, reasonable, independent, and generally kind. This is reinforced by [doug](/wiki/doug_(telltale))/[carley](/wiki/carley_(telltale))s statement that everyone looks up to him, voicing their interest in having him be the leader of their group. Unfortunately, lee is also easily agitated and highly protective, which is shown whenever his people, particularly [clementine](/wiki/clementine_(telltale)), are threatened, and it is clear that he would go very far to ensure their safety. This protectiveness also enables the player to have lee act outwardly angry at clementine in certain situations where she puts herself or others at risk, displaying that lees temper sometimes gets the best of him. This history of periodic violence is reinforced by his backstory, as he presumably killed the senator in a fit of rage.
the characteristic lee commonly displays throughout the series is the ability to be compassionate and altruistic, primarily portrayed in his relationship with clementine, devoting most of his actions, and eventually his life, to ensuring her safety. Lee can direct death threats toward anyone he believes is a danger to clementine and can be generally aggressive to most characters, such as violently shoving [kenny](/wiki/kenny_(telltale)) when he was in denial of his sons imminent death and physically pinning [vernon](/wiki/vernon_(telltale)) just for suggesting he take clementine, although these actions are determinant. In addition to protecting clementine, lee also ensured that she would be able to protect herself without him by cutting her hair and teaching her how to use a pistol.
during his conversation with carley about his past involving the senator, its implied that lee had no intention of killing him and he claims that it was purely accidental, but nevertheless feels guilty, speaking with a tone of remorse whenever questioned about the incident. If lee chooses to confide with clementine as well, he can soften the story by saying the senator was a bad man. Whenever a character is pitted in a near-hopeless scenario, lee tries his best to encourage and help them (either that or the player is given the choice to), such as always caring for clementine and talking to her when she feels listless, senselessly tackling [andrew st. John](/wiki/andrew_st._john_(telltale)) to selflessly protect [duck](/wiki/kenny_jr._(telltale)) and trying to support kenny when duck gets bitten.
although most of lees success in combat scenarios are influenced by the player, he is not a pushover by any means. If need be, he can defend himself and others by whatever means necessary, being competently skilled with most firearms and a capable fist fighter. Evidence of this includes his fight with andrew st. John, in which he successfully managed to incapacitate him (either by beating him until he could no longer fight back or by kicking him into the electric fence after being pinned) despite initially being restrained by the larger man. He successfully shot several bandits dead when they attacked the motel, managing to save the group and get them to safety in the rv. Against the [stranger](/wiki/the_stranger_(telltale)), he could successfully pin and strangle him to death despite being shot, infected and only having one arm. When facing [molly](/wiki/molly_(telltale)), he was able to dodge her attacks and knock her to the ground each time he hit her, despite her swiftness and her disarming him. He was also able to defeat dozens of walkers, his most impressive feat being when he pushed his way through an entire herd, killing several of them with just a shard of glass and a cleaver. He could also disable a walker with just two punches to the face when helping kenny rescue his son. He didnt always have such success, however, since he was thrown to the floor by kenny in the meat locker, overpowered by [danny st. John](/wiki/danny_st._john_(telltale)) despite striking him with a weapon, thrown from the rv by [lilly](/wiki/lilly_(telltale)), and knocked to the ground by [larry](/wiki/larry_(telltale)) with a single punch to the face; of those instances, being overpowered by danny and punched by larry will happen regardless of player choice.
throughout the story, lee displayed great physical strength on several occasions. He was able to pin vernon and lilly with no trouble and restrain an enraged kenny with a little assistance from vernon. He could also pry lilly away from helping her father and a walker from katjaa with little effort. When strong armed by andy, lee was able to force him off and knock him to the ground. In his fight with kenny, he was shown to be strong enough to pin him against a wall and choke him without causing any permanent injury, despite kenny actively trying to harm him. Lee even managed to lift a door frame that collapsed on him with or without kennys help, despite several walkers being on top of it and trying to claw at him around it. He could also throw one off of him despite his leg being injured, pushed a zombie into a rebar by only striking its head with a rifle, throw another to the floor when it tried to attack clementine and shove off two walkers while trying to push through the herd after biting him. He could force two doors closed despite several walkers pushing against it, keep omid from falling while he melted the cables to a tanker, pull ben up when the he was dangling over a ledge, singlehandedly push a car to barricade the motel, lift clementine above his head on a few occasions, and free doug from a group of walkers.
pre-apocalypse
[macon, georgia](/wiki/macon,_georgia)
lee was born in 1966 and comes from macon, georgia. His mother, father, and only brother worked at the familys pharmacy in macon. Lee had been a history professor at the university of georgia for six years before the incident with the senator, judging by his position at the university it is likely he holds a doctorate or a masters in the subject. He owned a pet fish, which he kept on his desk at work. His wife had a traveling job that kept her away for significant periods of time, something that had been difficult for their relationship since lee wanted to have a family but her job prevented that. One day, he came home sick from work at the university and discovered his wife sleeping with a state senator. Angered, lee killed him in a fight. For this, he was convicted of murder. Lee later claimed the two got into a fight and he killed him by accident. (Determinant) near the start of the apocalypse, lee was being transported by a [police officer](/wiki/atlanta_police_officer_(telltale)) to the [meriwether county correctional facility](/wiki/meriwether_county_correctional_facility).
post-apocalypse
[the telltale series](/wiki/the_walking_dead:_the_telltale_series)
[season one](/wiki/season_1_(telltale))
content |
the episode begins with lee everett, handcuffed, sitting in the back of a police car. The police officer is driving him to prison. After a while the officer begins chatting with lee about whether or not he is innocent because, as the officer remarks, lee hasnt given him the i didnt do it speech. He also tells him a story of a leave immediately: if they leave during the day, they head outside and meet leave at night: if lee chooses to wait until night, clementine says that they could hide in her tree house until the sun went down. Once it was dark outside, the two walk into the street, where they are shot at by an unknown assailant. Lee and clementine take cover behind a car as a man announces that he is of a georgia state patrol searching the area. Clementine is frightful that they were going to die, and lee can say that they were only there for him. Clementine is confused by this, and asks why that was, but lee ignores her and stands up with his arms raised in surrender. Two men walk around the car to meet them, and a police officer hastily puts his gun down upon realizing that they were not infected. The other man with him introduces himself as shawn greene and the cop as this next part is non-determinant and happens regardless of the players decisions: chet/andre leaves, and shawn introduces lee and clementine to his father, as they talk, someone screams and they leave the barn to investigate. Hershel gets his gun while lee runs to see whats going on. When lee gets to the source of the noise, he sees shawn pinned under a tractor tire. It appears duck, sitting on the tractor, inadvertently trapped shawn. There are three lee can choose to save duck or shawn but, regardless of his choice, shawn dies. The only thing the choice affects is how hershel acts towards lee (if lee saves shawn, he thanks lee but blames kenny; if lee saves duck, he is angry with both of them). Either way an angry hershel would tell kenny and lee to leave his farm and never come back. As kenny and his family prepare to leave, he encourages lee and clementine to come with them. When they arrive in macon, they run out of gas and stumble upon a group of walkers. They are saved by a group holed up in a pharmacy. A woman named larry starts to have a heart attack and his daughter, lilly, explains they have run out of pills for his condition and have been attempting to get into the storeroom since they got to the pharmacy. Lee goes looking for the keys to the pharmacy and the player learns the group is in lees afterwards, glenn calls on the walkie-talkie and says he is trapped at the motel. Carley and lee go out to get glenn and learn that there is a after the motel incident they return to the pharmacy with the gas and lee and doug go out to the gate to look around. They find a trapped walker beneath a fallen pole, who lee quietly realizes is his with keys in hand, lee and lilly enter the medical section of the store but trip an alarm, attracting the attention of all the walkers in the area, and now need to hold out until kenny can fill his truck with the gas glenn retrieved from the motel and bring it around to rescue them. After locking the entrance doors, lee must choose to save carley or doug. After the survivor not chosen dies, lee saves clementine from a walker. On their way out, lee is blocked by larry, who socks the former, knocking him to the floor just as a the survivors relocate to the motel where they intend to set up a base. Glenn tells lee that he has to leave to find his friends in atlanta with or without his and the groups blessing. Larry reveals that he also knows about lees past, and will not hesitate to use it against him if ever steps out of line. Just when things seem calm and for the most part peaceful, the street lights begin shutting off one by one until all the power goes out. Three months later (as revealed by a timecard and the differing colors of leaves) lee is seen hunting in the forest with after taking travis/david back to the motor inn with kenny and mark, lilly chastises them for bringing back more mouths to feed. She decides that lee should take charge of rationing, and gives him the groups food for the day.. Depending on who is handed food, lee can either improve or further destabilize his relationships with other members of the group. After dividing the third ration he has to decide if he will eat or if he will give someone else the last ration. Afterwards, lee is informed by katjaa that the wounded (david or travis) has died. Only to find that they have now reanimated as a zombie and try to attack katjaa. Either carley, larry or mark will save lee after he saves katjaa from the zombie. They confront ben (now the only surviving member of his group) and ask him why they didnt tell them his friend was bitten. Ben swears that the recently deceased was not bitten, and he explains to them that everyone is infected anyhow and when they die they will come back unless the brain is destroyed. Carley or doug (depending on who lee saved in the last episode) can be heard shouting at some survivors outside the motel. They introduce themselves as after moving on they arrive at the st. John family dairy that mark instantly takes liking to. Lee is slightly suspicious and tells mark to keep an eye open. After being introduced to at this time, danny st. John asks lee if he would like to go to the bandits camp to get some payback. Lee can decide to go after checking up on everyone. When he arrives at the bandit camp he discovers a camcorder and then clementines hat which she had recently lost. After returning, kenny seems somewhat suspicious about the dairy. Lilly is still angry about the idea of leaving the motor inn and wants to go back but larry advises her not to, saying that they should stay for dinner at least. Lee goes into the barn where he finds duck and clem. Kenny is there with katjaa and andy. They find a locked door and kenny begins to get increasingly suspicious. As a method to distract andy to peek inside lee tampers with one of the generators, thus luring andy away. After removing the lock on the barn door lee is told that dinner is ready. Kenny and clem leave with duck and katjaa but lee stays behind and continues to investigate. Upon opening the door he discovers what a slaughter room with bloodstains. Andy appears suddenly and explains that they still hunt for animals to keep themselves fed but mama (brenda) hates a mess so they do it in the barn. Lee is disturbed but goes along with his story. Lee later joins them at dinner. He requests to go to the bathroom to investigate, still suspicious. Upon discovering a hidden room, he finds a legless mark. Mark is barely conscious and warns him about the brothers, telling him not to eat dinner revealing that they are cannibals. Lee then has to rush downstairs and warn clementine not to eat the dinner- however lee has to get him there and shout on time. Lee tells everyone about the food, and the st. John brothers retaliate threatening them at gunpoint. Brenda reveals that they were taught never to waste food, as their reasoning for eating humans, and said that mark was going to die anyway. Mark is heard falling down the stairs where he is seen crawling around calling for help. Filling the group with horror, danny uses the distraction and knocks lee unconscious. He next wakes up in a meat locker with larry, clementine, kenny, and lilly. Kenny reveals that they have katjaa and duck, and then larry unexpectedly has a heart attack (due to his medical condition). He stops breathing and kenny assumes that he is dead and wants to destroy his brain, but lilly insists that he isnt and they need to resuscitate him. Lee must choose to side with kenny or lilly. Regardless who he chooses larry dies. Larry is either killed by lee and kenny, or just kenny who crushes his head with a salt block (or lick, as said in the game). Regarding on lees choice either kenny, lilly or both will be extremely upset with lee. Clem is able to crawl out of the meat locker via air vents and unlocks the door, and kenny goes to find his family while lilly is mourning larry. Lee tells clem to watch over lilly and leaves to find kenny. Both are then confronted by danny st. John who is unexpectedly taken out by lilly or kenny. Lee may then kill or spare dannys life, and this decision is noted by clementine. After lee goes to find kenny and the others, he meets carley/doug with ben. Lee explains the situation and tells them to go round the back, as using the gate would be too dangerous. Lee returns to the st. Johns house where he finds brenda holding katjaa hostage, and carefully walks forward, trying to negotiate while driving her towards an undead mark at the top of the stairs. While outside kenny is confronting andy who is holding duck hostage. Kenny is shot and lee attacks and fights andy, and he eventually gets the upper hand, and lee can either choose to savagely kill andy or leave him for the walkers who are now overtaking the dairy. After, lee discovers a car which is seemingly abandoned. The group considers emptying it, but clementine objects. Lee can either choose to take clementines side, in which case kenny and katjaa loot the car, or he can loot the car himself, and hand out the food items to the others. If the latter is chosen then he finds a hoodie which he gives to clementine, and he can persuade her taking the stuff is okay or not. No matter what, carley/doug comes to him and explain that they found batteries for the camcorder he found earlier at the bandit camp. They turn it on and discover jolene watching them at the motor inn. It is revealed that she knew the several of the bandits by name, calling them rapists monsters, and that she took a liking to clementine, seeing her as a replacement for her daughter. Three weeks after the last episode, lee and kenny go back to the pharmacy to find more medicine. They see an unknown lee reports his findings to lilly. Regardless of whether or not she said before that she would assume it was him if he didnt find anything, lilly declares that they had line everyone up to find the traitor. While lilly and lee are conversing in her room, four armed bandits have already captured everyone else outside. Lee is ordered to go out before the bandits and stall them. After lilly kills lilly reveals that someone has been trading medicine for protection. While escaping in the rv, lilly starts to believe that ben (and carley if she is alive) stole the medicine. The rv is forced to pull over when a walker gets stuck under it. While on the side of the road, kenny tries to get the walker loose. The group then begin arguing about who did it. Doug will attempt to calm lilly down if he survived a new day, or carley will scream at her if she survived. When kenny kills the walker, lilly pulls out her gun and shoots carley. If lee saved doug, he will grab ben and end up being shot in the head saving ben. Enraged, lee subdues lilly and takes her gun. Lee then chooses whether to leave lilly on the road or bring her with them, keeping her arms tied. While traveling down the road katjaa reveals that the walker that had attacked her had managed to bite duck. They agree to keep going in the hopes that they can find a cure. The group soon has to stop the rv again, but this time due to a partially wrecked kenny asks everyone to get out of the rv (except lilly, if lee brought her with them). Lee can choose to go into the rv and find a pencil, whereupon lilly comes up and says she is taking the rv, and asks lee if he wants to come with her. If lee tries to stop her she throws lee out of the rv and takes off. However, if lee agrees to come with her lilly will say that he should go get clementine. When lee steps out of the rv she will drive off. Kenny later reveals that the radiator is broken and lilly will only manage to drive about 30 miles in the rv. While searching for any supplies on the train, lee encounters a dead engineer in the engine cabin he mistakes to be a walker. After making sure it is dead, lee pulls it away, prompting ben to push on a glowing button. This sudden stroke of luck causes lee and kenny to go on a search to find a way to start the train. Lee meets once the train gets moving it is apparent that duck will not last the journey. After lee helps katjaa take care of him he will either talk with or fight with kenny to stop the train. Both katjaa and kenny want to be ones to relieve duck of his pain. No matter what decision lee makes in the matter, katjaa will be the one to take duck in the woods. After a shot is heard and kennys scream (determinant), lee travels into the woods to discover that katjaa has committed suicide, unable to shoot her son. Lee or kenny is forced to finish the job before duck turns, or alternatively, leave him to reanimate. They continue on the track. After a while, they stop because there is a truck hanging off the edge of a bridge and blocking the path. During an argument between kenny and chuck, two more survivors appear on the bridge, shortly before their arrival in savannah, clementines walkie-talkie comes to life with a stranger talking on the other end who seems to know clementine and had conversations with her before. Lee and kenny are surprised by this as they thought it was broken, leaving them to wonder who this stranger is and what they want with clementine. Lee and the group are walking down the streets of the survivors arrive at an abandoned house. After scavenging for supplies, lee finds kenny in the attic, staring at a reanimated child. Apparently, the boy had starved in his hiding and kenny marks the walkers strong resemblance to duck. Lee can either kill the boy himself or state it would be for the best if kenny did it. If neither of the men did the deed, christa will eventually kill the boy. Regardless, lee ends up burying the childs body and sees the stranger, who has been observing him, for the first time. Later kenny leaves with lee to find a boat. This is when lee encounters kennys gunshot was heard by the nearby walkers and they corner the group. While molly, kenny, and clementine manage to escape, lee is separated from them and flees into the sewers, where he finds chucks disemboweled corpse. He then stumbles on the hideout of lee can leave clementine at the house with or without a gun to take care of omid; however, she insists to be taken with the group in which lee can also agree on. Lee and others arrive at the school building in the center of crawford. Apparently, it has been used as the main storeroom for all their supplies. It is soon revealed that crawford had fallen in front of the walkers. While the group separates to find supplies, lee goes looking for the battery for the boat with molly. With she nowhere to be seen, lee heads for the next door garage. Then, suddenly, a walker wearing a doctors robe, falls from a roof of a building. Molly reappears and begins to impale the walker out of pure anger. The two eventually find the battery and molly takes it. She takes off to her own business, leaving lee back at the school building. Lee finds christa and vernon in the clinic, trying to bust open a locked cabinet of medical supplies. After finding several tapes, the code for the lock of the cabinet is seen on these. The tapes also explain the reasons behind fall of crawford as also mollys history with the community. Molly returns soon after, and lee can confront her about her involvement of crawford. Then when walking to the classroom, ben scares lee and molly with a hatchet. When lee and molly figure out that it was the hatchet holding the door from walkers, a horde of walkers enter inside and molly kills some of them. Suddenly, one grabs a hold of her and enters a struggle, at which lee will have to shoot the walker. If lee misses a shot at the zombie, he is forced to leave molly behind; however, if clementine was brought along she will shoot the walker and thus saves molly. Everyone retreats back into a classroom leading to crawfords armory. At the classroom, ben realizes he accidentally let the walkers into the school and has a break down. He decides he has to tell kenny that he is responsible for katjaa and ducks deaths. Vernon and lee restrain kenny from attacking the boy. A quick voting takes place on whether the group should or should not leave ben behind. Lee can choose his opinion. If clementine is tagged along, lee can change his opinion on the second time around. The walkers push in the classroom and devour brie. Lee and the group bust open the armory door leading to a bell tower. Lee is then seen running up the bell tower, fighting off several walkers, throwing some off the stairs and shooting others. At the top, ben is then attacked by a walker, which lee can or cannot shoot. Regardless ben is pulled over the ledge and lee grabs him if the walker was shot. He now has the choice to let him fall to his death or pull him up. Clementine will be very upset with the decision if he chooses to let him die, having lost a friend. The group escapes from the tower on the roof of the building. Lee and the group arrive back at the house, to find omid alive and vernon treats him with the antibiotics. If clementine was left at the house, she has also managed to trap or kill a walker, depending on whether lee left a gun with her. Later vernon suggests lee leave clementine with his group. Lee can agree or loudly disagree on this. Clementine will ask lee if they will look for her parents before they depart with the boat. Lee can lie to her and say that they will, or be honest and say that it will likely not happen. Lee wakes up the next day to discover that clementine is no longer in the house. He walks outside when he finds clems discarded hat. Lee climbs over the fence and finds clementines walkie-talkie and picks it up but is attacked by walker. Lee realizes the walker managed to bite him. Omid, christa, kenny and ben (determinant) come looking for lee, telling him that clementine is nowhere to be found. Lee can then reveal that he was bitten or he can keep it a secret. Lee states vernon has kidnapped her and insists on going after them. Afterwards he either asks his companions for help finding clementine or tells them to wait at the boat while he looks for her. Depending on lees choices some of the group members can refuse his offer. After making it back to their hideout it is revealed that vernon and the rest of his group had left, leaving the place abandoned. Lee then looks up outside the window to see a large herd of walkers passing by. Coming to realize that the large number of walkers attracted by the noise the train made traveling there had caught up with them once again leading them to wander into and infest all of savannah. Lee then gets a mysterious transmission from a man over the walkie-talkie, who reveals that he isnt vernon. The man also informs lee he has clementine and tells lee to choose his next words more carefully, to which lee starts to respond, but is at a loss for words in shock. This episode links up to the same point where around every corner left off, with lees words to the regardless, lee and any others begin climbing the elevator shaft of the hospital, which is seen to be overrun by hordes of walkers on the inside and out. The group, or lee, arrives on the roof and sees the streets crowded with thousands of walkers. However, using mollys strategy from around every corner, lee manages to reach a bell tower next to the roof. Ringing it, he draws the hordes to the tower, thinning the streets and allowing the group to push on back to the manor. Depending on who came with lee in around every corner and/or was left behind with the boat, the result on arrival can differ. If anyone stayed behind, lee finds the shed doors held closed by a shovel. Lee opens the door and finds his companions inside. They reveal shown that they were ambushed by vernons group, which horribly beat them then stole the groups boat. If everyone accompanied lee, the boat is seen missing and a note left by vernon is found explaining that it was he and his group who taken the boat and apologize to lee and the group for stealing it. Lee, however, still focuses on finding clementine, and insists on going to the lee finds a balcony where it is possible to cross to the next roof, and the group follows. If ben is still alive, the balcony will collapse and fall as he begins to jump. If ben is not alive, kenny will not fall in the jump but will be separated from the group in a later event. Regardless, lee will run down in an attempt to save the both of them. If ben fell, however, it is shown that a balcony railing stabbed him in the stomach. His yells of pain attract walkers, and kenny forces lee to leave, telling him to go on and find clementine. Kenny uses the last bullet in his pistol to mercy kill ben, and is separated from the rest of the group. As lee, christa and omid finally reach the waterfront just across from the marsh house, they are forced to climb over a large maccabe imports sign to get to the next rooftop, as walkers crowd the street below. As either lee or omid and christa climb over, (determinant) the sign collapses. Armed with a cleaver he found earlier, and a shard of glass if his arm was not amputated, he orders christa and omid to go on and meet him later, and to take care of clementine when he is gone. (Determinant) lee descends into the streets and fights his way through the massive horde of walkers between him and the hotel. He arrives at the marsh house and searches several rooms until he finds one with a bedroom and closet door roped together. He walks in curiously, only to have a man appear behind him with a pistol drawn. Though clementine calls out, thinking she hears lee, her abductor points the gun at lee (determinant), forcing him to be quiet and abandon his possessions, to which lee can either lie that he doesnt have any or surrender his possessions. In a psychotic but calm state, he sits down with lee and has a discussion with him, revealing the station wagon from starved for help belonged to him and his family. The stranger then asks him if he had ever hurt anyone. After lees response and a short talk, it is revealed his son went missing on a hunting trip. When he returned to the station wagon where his family stated, he and his wife went back out but failed to find his son still. They returned, and lees group had stolen his supplies, effectively ruining his life as some of lees group had stated. His wife took their daughter and left, and he remorsefully reports that they didnt get far before being killed. After concluding his monologue, he asks lee whether he now sees him as a monster. Regardless of lees answer, he still says that he is not like lee. He begins by questioning decisions that lee made in previous episodes, such as lying to clementine about his past (determinant), failing to stop her from eating human meat (determinant), abandoning lilly after the motel was attacked (determinant), and bringing clementine to crawford where she easily could have died. (Determinant) lee asks how he could have known about all of that. Smiling, he reveals the walkie-talkie that he had been using to communicate with clementine, smug that clementine had been willing to share so much of lees faults with a stranger. In the end, the man tells lee that he will take clementine and hurt [lee], so bad. Before he does, however, he asks that lee see reason and allow him to raise clementine as his own daughter, saying that he knew how to be a dad. Lee can accept his offer or aggressively rebuke him, but the man, still holding the gun, begins talking to his wifes severed and reanimated head, which he keeps in a bowling bag. Clementine escapes from the adjoining room and, using one of several objects lee laid on a table at her captors order (determinant), sneaks up and attacks him just as he says she wouldnt hurt a fly. Lee and the stranger begin a fierce brawl, each trying to get the gun which is knocked around the room. When lee corners him in the closet and begins strangling him with his one good arm, lee can either kill or spare his opponent, and if he kills him, has a choice of shooting him in the head to prevent reanimation or not. If he spares him, the man attacks lee again only to be shot in the head by clementine. Lee and clementine reunite, and just as they leave, a walker appears at the door. However, as it sniffs lee, it ignores him, going for clementine, though lee stops it. Realizing from a comment by clementine about the muck, spilled on him as he fought the herd, lee understands that the walker was confused by his scent, he takes an organ from the walker and rubs it on clementine in order to mask her scent as well. The two initially manage to wade through the walkers outside on the street well, until clementine sees her parents, after telling her he will miss her, that she should remain strong, or says nothing, they give their final goodbyes. Have clementine shoot lee (dead): lee closes his eyes, and clementine, in a nearly, if not already, broken-down state, will shoot him with the gun she obtained from the zombified security guard and leave to go out on her own, with a goal given by lees advice. Have clementine leave lee to turn (undead): clementine will leave him handcuffed/laying next to the radiator. Seconds later, his lifeless body slumps to the floor. She tearfully goes off into the fields of what can be assumed to be the outskirts of savannah. No answer/stay silent (determinant): clementine will reluctantly decide based on lees choices throughout the game whether to shoot him or leave him to turn. |

clementine is seen looking at the photo of lee that was torn by him at the after clementine is shot by everyone else, besides kenny, is asleep in the rv and lee tries to get her to go back to sleep. Clementine realizes that duck had been bitten, but lee assures her that duck might live, though clementine is unconvinced. She feels bad for calling him a crybaby and believes that she wouldnt get the chance to apologize. She then asks him why lilly killed carley or doug. (Determinant) he responds by telling her that lilly had been depressed for a long time, that sadness had turned to anger at the world for causing her such pain and she had chosen to take that anger out on someone else. He tells her that people do not always make sense, which clementine says is stupid. She asks him if he had ever been that mad before, and lee says that he was once. (Determinant) he explains that bad things happen to everyone and that some people react to them differently. Lee asks clementine her opinion on leaving lilly behind or letting her stay. (Determinant) lee then tells her that part of growing up is doing whats best for the people one cares about, even if, sometimes that means hurting someone else. Clementine, however, does not want to accept this, and lee asks her what he can say to make her feel better. If she asks him to say that she wont have to hurt anyone, he remains silent. Alternatively, clementine can ask him to say that everything would be okay in the end, to which lee would say that she would make it okay. She could also ask him to say that he wouldnt leave her, to which lee would smile to and reassure her that that would never happen. (Determinant) regardless of what the player asks, clementine quietly begins to cry, but lee soothes her with a smile. Clementine curls up against him and falls asleep. |

lee slowly succumbs to the walker bite(s) over the course of a day. After rescuing clementine from her kidnapper, he collapses in the street and gets dragged into the [jewelry store](/wiki/eos%c3%a9_jewelry_store). Unable to make it any further, lee can tell clementine to either shoot him to prevent reanimation or leave him behind, or allow her to make the decision herself.

[melissa hutchison](/wiki/melissa_hutchison), the voice actor of clementine, that lees death in [no time left](/wiki/no_time_left) was written when the cast were recording the sessions for long road ahead. - Lee starts the first season handcuffed and ends the game handcuffed. (Determinant)
- lee is the only member of his family to not die in macon.
- if clementine shoots lee, after the screen goes black it sounds like lees dying breath is heard. It is actually voice actor
[dave fennoy](/wiki/dave_fennoy)crying due to the emotion of the sequence. - Lee is the only protagonist in the game series that dies regardless of the players decisions.
- the state senator lee killed was called sam, a cut scene from
[starved for help](/wiki/starved_for_help) shows that lee has a nightmare where either carley or doug (depending on who you did not save in the previous episode) confront him about how he killed sam. - Lee (determinant) is one of the 6 amputees seen in the telltale series along with reggie, mark, abel (determinant), rufus (determinant) and clementine. Lee, reggie and abel (determinant) have their left arms cut off to stop a walker bite infection while rufus (determinant) has him right arm cut off, mark has both legs and clementine (determinant) has her left ring finger amputated, and later gets part of her left leg amputated after being bitten.
- lee has the most directly killed victims of any person in season one with a minimum of six and maximum of fourteen. (Determinant)
- in
[long road ahead](/wiki/long_road_ahead) during the train fight (determinant) if lee doesnt fight back against kenny, he will have a scar on his cheek for the entirety of the game, but if lee is hit 3 times, the scar will not appear until the molly fight. - If lee threatens
[vernon](/wiki/vernon_(telltale))in [around every corner](/wiki/around_every_corner), then he will be mentioned by name by[clive](/wiki/clive_(telltale))during[shels story](/wiki/shel%27s_story). - Having appeared alive (not including dreams or flashbacks) in a total of 5 episodes, the same as luke,
[javi](/wiki/javier_garc%c3%ada_(telltale)),[gabe](/wiki/gabriel_garc%c3%ada_(telltale)),[kate](/wiki/kate_garc%c3%ada_(telltale)),[david](/wiki/david_garc%c3%ada_(telltale)),[eleanor](/wiki/eleanor_(telltale)),[tripp](/wiki/tripp_(telltale))(determinant), and[conrad](/wiki/conrad_(telltale))(determinant) makes him tied 3rd for total amount of appearances. However, if all determinant dream and flashback sequences are counted, he has 7 appearances in different episodes, tying him with lilly and putting him fourth behind[alvin jr.](/Wiki/alvin_jr._(telltale))with 10, kenny with 12 (if 400 days and the season 3 appearances are counted), and clementine with 19 appearances.- However, if lees photograph appearance in all that remains is counted then he has a total of 8 appearances.
- season 3 is the only season where lee does not appear at all, (dream or flashbacks)
- originally in
[from the gallows](/wiki/from_the_gallows), had there have been another clementine flashback, it wouldve shown her babysitter sandra getting devoured by walkers, not only that but lee everett wouldve appeared when he crashed into a nearby forest, where he shot the reanimated officer, and saw clementine.
- lee is one of the three characters to appear in all five episodes of season 1 (not including 400 days). The other two are clementine and kenny.
- through telltales involvement in 7 days to die, lee is available as one of the ten walking dead character skins, along with
[michonne hawthorne](/wiki/michonne_hawthorne_(comic_universe)),[christa](/wiki/christa_(telltale)),[pete](/wiki/pete_(comic_universe)),[luke](/wiki/luke_(telltale)),[kenny](/wiki/kenny_(telltale)),[carley](/wiki/carley_(telltale)),[glenn rhee](/wiki/glenn_rhee_(comic_universe)),[lilly](/wiki/lilly_(telltale))and[molly](/wiki/molly_(telltale)).[[9]](#cite_note-9) - lee is one of three characters from the telltale series who has made an appearance in the
[clementine](/wiki/clementine_(series))series, the other two so far being[clementine](/wiki/clementine_(telltale))and[alvin jr.](/Wiki/alvin_jr._(telltale)). - The clementine series implies that clementine shooting lee in the ending of season one is the canonical ending.
- originally during the dinner at st. Johns dairy farm, lee wouldve been given the option to sabotage the st. Johns plans of having the survivors eat meat instead of rushing in and telling the group immediately. This would involve such options as telling clementine to go wash her hands, saying the food might be too hot to eat yet, and cutting, or getting lilly or kenny to cut clementines meat. This was likely removed because it was too convoluted.
- lee uses the same face texture as
[marcus crabtree](/wiki/marcus_crabtree_(telltale)).[[11]](#cite_note-11)
