Nice article. Funny, though, that they list Carousel of Progress as if they intended it should be there instead of MK. :lookaroun

Yes, but it's their TV screen I want so badly. So futuristic...

Very nice -- but you can tell the piece was not written by a Disney fanatic. Such a very cynical tone!

Good premise, but the article could've used a bit more fact checking and such. :shrug:
