Not Very Lovey

In case anyone's wondering what's up with Disney, here's a good summary ... It's ostensibly a review of the short film "Dream On Silly Dreamer" which chronicles the rise and fall of 2D at Disney over the last decade, but it serves as a handy primer on the biz and its collapse. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, then you absolutely MUST click on the link.

I really would like to get a bootleg copy of "the sweatbox" too. I wonder if we can see "dream on silly dreamer" here or is it just that one time thing?

It just pisses me off, it's so obvious why the films started sucking, but the "suits" will never admit it was there fault. That's just absurd to think that.

I think our best chance of seeing it here will be to wait for next year's film festival (or the one after that... or the one after that...) I think it's more that type of thing. This showing in Minnesota, for example, was in conjunction with the big Disney shareholders' meeting, and a friend of mine in California saw a showing at his school. That, or wait for the DVD, if there ever is one...

I remember hearing about the disbandment of Disney's Feature Animation studio last spring and was in complete shock. However, it made sense considering the direction the studio was driven; I enjoyed the animation in the most recent Disney flicks but the plot was definitely lacking compared to Pixar.

It's sad how such a great era finally came to a close. Here's to hope that Disney will be able to pull out of this mess.

I'm hoping after a certain someone leaves his post and a certian namesake returns, maybe they'll bring back all those brilliant animators. As much as I enjoy computer animation, it'll never come close to the beauty of hand drawn animation.

I remember reading an article concerning Glen Keene's (!) contract renewal come and go. It was around 2001, and I remember feeling sick to my stomach. I actually am a Disney shareholder. Every year they send me a check for $3.
