WDI Mutiny...


I would direct everyone that enjoys hearing about the innerworkings of Walt Disney Imagineering to check out Jim Hill Media's latest column.

I was talking about the difficulty in getting information with the new culture starting to pervade through the halls over there in Glendale. Well, Jim talks about how the restructing of WDI, who is now in charge and who's on the outs...

Jim's article makes it sound like the events happening over on Flower Street could be on a Mouse Mutiny against the poisonous culture that was left behind when Mr. Eisner left. But the goal sounds like Lasseter is having the structure change to reflect his desires and work ethic, away from a venomous, back stabing political atmosphere to an enviroment of passionate creativity.

It's a great read and sounds mildly positive in its discussion of WDI's future. I highly recommend it.

I hope this is a good sign.

Remember, using Jim Hill as a reliable source is like closing the barn door after the animals have been spotted in town. Take MiceAge with a grain of salt, too.
