Alita fans ordered a plane with a banner in support of the sequel at the Oscars

Fans “Ality: Battle Angel” Robert Rodriguez in support of the sequel ordered a plane with a banner that flew over the carpet of the Oscars.

Money for this event began to be raised in January using the GoFundMe platform – the necessary funds of $ 1810 were received by the end of that month. The banner consisted of two hashtags: “Alita’s sequel” (#AlitaSequel) and “Alita’s army” (#AlitaArmy).

The organizers transferred all the extra money to the company Open Bionics, which is engaged in the creation of prostheses. It was her representatives, together with the authors of the picture, who developed hand prostheses for the girl Tilly Loki.

At the moment, the amount of fees has already reached more than 9 thousand dollars, and the collection campaign itself will be active until February 19.

The idea of ​​the authors was successful, but only partially. The plane with the banner really flew over the passing ceremony – but the carpet with the stars was covered with a canopy from the rain. Because of this, the action did not attract as much attention as it could.
