First Class Job...

The LA Times has a nice article up about the Walt Disney Company's Annual Shareholders Meeting in Albuquerque the other day. It's an intriguing piece about the Mouse and the running of it by CEO Bob Iger.

Knowing When And Where To Hold 'Em...

The Walt Disney Company held its Annual Stockholder's Meeting in Albquerque this morning...

It was a short one. Only about an hour and a half. John Pepper quickly introduced Bob Iger.

Briefly...

- The price of the Mouse's stock rose fifteen percent over the last half decade, which outpaced the S & P 500 of eleven percent.

- A list of many of the movies we've already reported on and their state of production. Not much new here.

- A new clip from "Wall-E" was revealed for the Stockholders that hadn't been released publicly.

- A very busy John Lasseter was unable to attend. Many were looking to hear from him regarding the state of Walt Disney Animation Studios. Suffice it to say, "Bolt" continues to bring on animators as it ramps up to meet the November deadline for its debut. Not much was spoken of in any great detail regarding the coming "Princess and the Frog" or "Rapunzel"... one expects next year's meeting to provide considerably more fireworks.

- Not much discussion of Blu-Ray though... interesting.

- The release of "Song of the South" won't be released on "little silver discs at this time"... notice they said little silver disc, not little Blu-ones. Hmmm.

Overall, a very simple and lean get together. Roy Disney was there, but didn't take the stage.

If anything develops we'll have additional posts...
