Yeah, but the logic isn't totally flawed. I think the problem is that its different when you start competiting with history and natural resources vs competiting with other theme parks. It's one thing to go to FLA and decide to skip Universal or Sea World to stay at Disney, quite another to...

I understand that Edwin, which is why I made full disclosure of the source. Of course if Fool.com is reading the situation correctly then they should be recommending them. It becomes very difficult to distinguish between smart advice and ulterior motives. The best way to prove that such...

Here's a chunk from an article written by Rick Aristotle Munarriz for The Motley Fool in regards to the business side of the Pixar/Disney thing. He's refuting Barron's less rosey outlook on Pixar.

You are correct and I am wrong about the rides that only accomodate children. I was thinking of rides like Dumbo, which work on a lower "safe" scale in which parents are more able to sit and watch. But the ride itself does allow for parents to ride also. While Walt was dead before World was...

Yes, but Disney has long since been "just animation". Theme parks, children's toy stores, TV shows, etc are all part of Disney and have been for decades, even during Walt's tenure. Walt's dream went beyond animation and treating it like that's all they do is crazy. That was my whole point...

Err, you mean their own money that they earned off of earlier Pixar productions? Come on, a lot of the animation division income, and future capital, came from Pixar. Had Pixar had it's own startup capital (a giant if I realize) then they would already be the new Disney. After all, how...

Oh, PS - Finding Nemo is going to win an Oscar even if Dentino doesn't. Should make for some very interesting Oscar pre-post conversation.

I don't know if I actually agree with that. Eisner has been fighting fires for some time now and appears to only be holding on because he happened to be in the right place at the right time early in his Disney run. Without all the creative support around him, first "what's his name" that was...
