No, Pete, I'm not. Nowhere did anyone say the "non-competes" weren't common practice, now did they? Except in CA, which is lovely, but Disney and Universal are found in more locales than that. Good luck with your monorail expansion....

Target Frozen merchandise update.
Still no dolls or dresses, or really anything aside from terribly made and over priced Olaf and Sven plush. However the entire Disney aisle seemed disheveled and there weren't many princess dolls at all this time.
The disney Littlest Pet Shoppe ripoffs are all on clearance. "I'm so surprised!" Said no one ever.
The other Sofia the first thing is also on clearance and there's a dozen of them.
The DVD/bluray display for Frozen is still up as well.
Aside from these few things the only other Frozen stuff I saw in the store were underwear for little girls (which I'm not about to photograph) and one night gown. There was an empty display for tshirts in the kids section as well.

I suppose people took it "slow" with dragon.
Seems the tables repeated exactly as in RISE OF THE GUARDIANS.
Very disappointing sales at first but steady up until the bluray release..
Dragon 2 will probably do better in the home market.
Well, That "home camp" mindset is sadly.. a normal phenomenom.
Like those people defending Nvidia Actions when they.. knowingly sold defective chips in millions to OEMS and builders.
As the chips started to fail in masse.. they denied everything (apple style) at first. then pointed fingers to OEMS. And there were fanboys defending their "loveable company" like their life depended on it.
No difference from some of our local Disney fanboys(that love to smear anything Universal does and inflate anything Disney does to staggering levels)
Other point is, with the rise of the internet.. no surprise there are so many paid PR Guerrilla warfare experts groups.. trying to shift the blame or defend their camps. Its their job after all!

What do they say about the price of tea in china?
The story was about employment practices between Cali companies... and someone said 'why don't they just use no compete clauses' - the topic was still employer behaviors in Cali companies.
And the conversation I was having was about the occurrence of the agreements in the workforce, not the article or not specifically in California.

Lets not forget that Pixar was first leaded by Steve Jobs. And all the papers shows that Steve Jobs was the catalyst of the fixing scheme.
Steve Jobs is GOD for many apple hardcore fanboys. The devotion he gets... is annoying
But that is only part of the issue. The salary fixing scheme is the worst... since that is the core of the "do not bid for my animators for more money" plan of the involved companies.

Those Olaf dolls look terrible. Almost like they're a knockoff but even sadder because they're official.Target Frozen merchandise update.

The most shocking thing I noticed of the whole affair.. was Sony Studios outright refusing to join that MAFIA.
considering Sony its been well known to do the "APPLE" in a bad way (enclosed ecosystems that force you to buy very specific items for the products they sell, the PS3 firmware fiasco..etc..) during these years.
I think they really burned the franchise with many problems prior to the release:
a) the TV series
b) too spoilerific tv ads (of the movie)
c) the movie issues (too scary and dramatic for little kids, kinda cheesy for adults)

The same is applied for a lot of products of different movies.
I've seen better plushies of toothless from how to train your dragon.
Anyone remember the first official plushies and toys from the first movie? they looked NOTHING like toothless!
Even now, Build a Bear seems to have the best quality on the plush side.
To resume, it seems that companies do the worst quality possible for their flagship movies (in therms of merchandise) to capitalize fast on the interest.
Then they whine why they dont sell much.. WHAT A SHOCK!.

If you're a fan of Sleeping Beauty, the new coffee table book Once Upon a Dream is worth getting. Even if you didn't care much for Maleficent.

They were so cheaply made it was insulting. The disney store in the same mall as this target didn't have any frozen merch to compare the cheapness to. The material feels awful and is stitched very badly. Not worth $5, let alone the $15 or $20 they are charging. The Sven plush are cute but again, poor quality and at $10, I don't see it lasting a month in the hands of a little kid.
Quality control is in the crapper when it comes to disney merch, and these are fine examples of that. It's a shame really, I'd have bought that Sven plush if I couldn't see the stitching, if there wasnt already a wad of cotton showing near the butt tag, and if it...well, looked like Sven and not Generic Reindeer.
Ohh, will add that to my amazon wish list. Thanks for the tip! I'm a bit of a book nerd.

No, no, no, it's a moo point. It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.
