Mikey's New Gig...

Maybe...

Deadline is reporting that Michael Eisner is in line to run the Tribune Company.

There goes their theme park division...

The First/Last Keynote...

The bitter, inside details...

The Los Angeles Times has a great story on how Dick Cook's firing (and yes, he was actually fired as several Bothans have now informed me) went down. It's really sad to see Dick Cook fired from a company that he didn't just work for but truly loved. He had the Mouse in his DNA.

I have a feeling he's going to make a big impression somewhere else, either as a studio head or perhaps his own production company. He's got a lot of friends and will be able to attract talent to anything he's connected to rather easily.

My best wishes go with him...

Iger On Expo...

The Los Angeles Times has an article that has an interview with Bob Iger about the upcoming D23 Expo...

Go over at take a look at what the Times and the Mouse's Big Cheese thinks about the upcoming event.

Frog Pic Drops In...

The Los Angeles Times' entertainment section has a bunch of pics up in the Movie Sneaks section and one of them is this one from Disney's "The Princess and the Frog," which will be out December 25...

I can't wait to see this film, but I'm not in a hurry to have X-Mas be here anytime soon.

Ouch!

I don't know if you've seen what the editorial page over at the Los Angeles Times had to say about DCA a couple days ago, but it was blunt and brutal... this is the first time the Times has actually come out and said it this way. Perhaps this kind of criticism will keep the pressure on the Mouse?

One thing is for sure, the next park won't be designed by accountants, marketing salesmen and merchandisers. Instead, it will most likely be created by Imagineers? Imagine that...
