Disney thoughts
2.18.2004 5:57 PM \| Link	My parents got me my first Disney "big fig" for a housewarming gift! It's a fantastic Jiminy Cricket, standing almost two feet tall. I have him on the landing in the middle of my staircase, and he makes me happy every time I go up or downstairs. Now I have the itch to buy more big figs! Speaking of Disney, this is such a crazy time for the Disney company (of which I own one share!), so here's my two-cents worth. I agree that it's time for Eisner to go - as much as possible (in today's world), Disney needs more of a father figure to run to the company. Walt was instantly "Uncle Walt" to the world, because they could tell he really cared about entertaining people (making millions was just a side benefit!). I support Roy Disney's efforts, too - I'm signed up at the SaveDisney website, and I agree that the values that made Disney great need to be saved before they slip away. Losing the deal with Pixar was just plain stupid - making less profit from Pixar films is better than making no profit, right? As far as Comcast goes, I really don't have much of an opinion. Part of me wants there always to be a complete separate Disney company, but on the other hand, if Comcast is willing to pump some bucks into animation, I'm in favor of that. My biggest worry is that Comcast would sell off the parks, and that would be simply awful! I will always remain a Disney fan, even through this whole saga, because the "real" Disney I love is tied to the Disney of the past. I don't think we'll ever see better movies than Snow White and Fantasia - maybe just as good, and certainly technically beautiful, but the charm of being first and unique can't be regained. So, no matter what happens, "my" Disney will always remain the same magical realm as ever. Labels: disney, life
