This happened to Disney towards the end of the "success" years in the 90s; the Disney bashing began.<BR/><BR/>And the bashing grew as Pixar started to emerge as a force in animation; of course the Disney lay offs later in the decade didnt help.<BR/><BR/>As all the love switched to Pixar I told a friend "Watch, in a few years everyone will be hating on Pixar..people love to hate whoever is on top".<BR/><BR/>A low and behold....RayChasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11569709975420368306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-92080889399197986112007-07-16T15:51:00.000-07:002007-07-16T15:51:00.000-07:00And jumping on the nitpicking wagon...it's "20,000...And jumping on the nitpicking wagon...<BR/><BR/>it's "20,000 Leagues <I>Under</I> the Sea," not "Beneath."judihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15415067631504911897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-60453010397137660662007-07-12T20:13:00.000-07:002007-07-12T20:13:00.000-07:00Brilliant article and I couldn't agree more. Well ...Brilliant article and I couldn't agree more. Well said.<BR/><BR/>Someone above mentions Rasulo - I've come to believe that he's still at the root of a lot of problems at WDC. After all... WDS Paris... yikes. I'm hoping that somehow someone finds a way to replace him with a 'real' creative.

I feel that too many people these days want Lasseter to fail and fall flat on his face. I am particularly glad that Lasseter is also helping Iger in the Disney parks. I feel that Rasulo isn't going to do anything too "amazing" in the future, and it's up to them to correct Rasulo's faults. With this, I hope they can start fixing up DCA!<BR/><BR/>I really think this is the time to begin celebrating for what may become one of the best Disney eras for a long time. We can only hope that in the future, Disney will once again TRULY become the happiest place on Earth.<BR/><BR/>By the way, did they approve of the DCA budget, yet?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-52242238537317878302007-07-12T11:51:00.000-07:002007-07-12T11:51:00.000-07:00Honor--beautiful post.It seems like so many people...Honor--beautiful post.<BR/><BR/>It seems like so many people are shooting from the hip when they post to forums and blogs.<BR/><BR/>It is great to see some clarity and insight being brought forth in the Disney interweb.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work and the great posts!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11023449275486420957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-27130943991887819282007-07-12T06:41:00.000-07:002007-07-12T06:41:00.000-07:00Great article!

PLEASE use "its" and "it's" correctly. "It's" always equals "It is"... not possessive.<BR/><BR/>So one of your sentences reads: "But the Walt Disney Company now has the vision and direction, which tempered with <B>IT IS</B> current leadership has the courage to follow through with <B>IT IS</B> plan and to weather the storm of negativity that comes <B>IT IS</B> way."<BR/><BR/>It seems so nitpicky but it would improve you already-great writing vastly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-90950788196540606532007-07-11T21:44:00.000-07:002007-07-11T21:44:00.000-07:00I've been visiting this blog for quite some time. ...I've been visiting this blog for quite some time. It has to be one of the best, if not THE BEST, on the net today. <BR/><BR/>Their are those who thrive on negativity and are just waiting for any little mistake. For a company that they so passionately "care" about, they become vultures and await the final kill.<BR/><BR/>This has to be one of the most exciting times in Disney Co. history. I appreciate your refreshing views leading us in this celebration. <BR/><BR/>Ok...enough kissing @$$ <BR/><BR/>Unclemike: Great comments as wellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5244647450237014911.post-34962025666943935302007-07-11T20:32:00.000-07:002007-07-11T20:32:00.000-07:00Bravo to you for your site and your post. I recent...Bravo to you for your site and your post. I recently took Jim Hill to task for this very thing, for his relentless anti-Pixar/Lasseter/Catmull agenda, and made pains to show -- using his own data -- that his claims were based on cherry-picked facts taken out of context, that he wasn't considering the long view as you so clearly address it here, and point by point dismantled his arguments with facts and references. <BR/><BR/>For my pains my posts were deleted without comment and my account was banned. Lord knows if others have enjoyed this treatment.<BR/><BR/>Such a nice man, and he's among those eager to see John & co. fail. <BR/><BR/>Depressing. What a way to spend your life. I can't quite figure his motivation, but I can only assume it's either a ploy to drive up visits to his website, or he's bitter and angry that the Pixarian cone of silence has descended on WDAS and his contacts and thus his imagined "insider" status have dried up (since disgruntled suits are the only types he seems to be able to get dish from anymore).<BR/><BR/>Or maybe both, or neither. He won't even cop to having an agenda, which is really silly -- he presents this stuff as honest journalism. At least own up to it. I don't know why Chuck V. even takes his calls.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, thanks for a consistently informative and enjoyable blog.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
