This line says it all. You can almost feel the emphasis on the word brand; instead of what that brand should stand for: namely quality.

^ Well, it is not much of a shock. Mickey has been used as a shill for quite some time now.

There is something I've been wondering about. What possessed these guys to greenlight and build a California-themed theme park in California? I mean......really....just what the hell were they thinking? That theme park seems to be the biggest evidence that someone was smoking crack. :laugh:

^ I was reading about Jobs as a possible successor at the savedisney site in your sig space. It is looking more and more like a two flank attack to oust Eisner and crew. Of course, it still boils down to whether Roy Disney and his crew can convince enough shareholders to withhold their votes...

After reading that I have to go out and rent the film. I want to see how your analysis matches up. When I saw this film as a teenager, I actually thought the quality of the animation was substandard for Disney. I also found it difficult to take a story seriously where a pig was the fulcrum...

Which is why I consider the ending to Treasure Planet to be a bit unusual. I would never say that TP is Disney animation's best work, but it certainly isn't their worst either. I, personally, think the nadir of Disney animation was The Black Cauldron. That show had some interesting visuals in...

I saw Treasure Planet and I think the film is getting an undeserved bad rap. The show did have a lot of the traditional story techniques that most Disney films have, but it also had some other aspects to it. For example, TP is the first Disney movie animated movie to actually show a character...

While I think Pixar can make it on their own, Jobs comments are going a little too far. He is beginning to believe the media hype about Pixar being the one to beat just a little too much. He seems to be forgetting that the "Walt Disney presents" has plenty of brand strength on its own. When...

I think Pixar has aquired a strong enough brand name. I do not think they need to remain in a less than satisfactory business relationship with Disney. I think that Pixar has enough exposure in the industry to self finance their own productions. If Pixar leaves, I feel it is Disney that...

:laugh: That tune is a good one. I could see Disney doing something exactly like that. I found this comment to be quite interesting. I especially agree with the last sentence. I think that some of the modern output from Disney is of good quality; however, none of it even comes close to...

I disagree with the contention that American animation companies have tried to make films aimed solely at teenage males and failed because of that decision. The fact of the matter is that American animation companies have made half-baked attempts at appealing to teenagee males, but never have...

Well said. I've always maintained that Disney's films -animated and live action- were not made specifically for children. They were made for general audiences. People seem to have forgotten what that designation signifies. Nowadays, people automatically think a "G-rated" picture is childish...

Walt Disney had to do just what Pixar did. Or have people forgotten how he lost control of his Oswald the Rabbit character to the distributor of the films? IIRC, the loss of Oswald was one of the main reasons why he created his own distribution company.
