A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

I'm honestly kind of impressed how quickly you were able to make this about Iger.

This is when an agenda gets out of control and while I am all for disagreement on a discussion board, when it gets to this point I think its fair to say a poster deserves to be ignored and perhaps removed from the discussion. Read Lasseter's statement for heaven's sake....and the current climate surrounding harassment issues, and yet within an hour of it becoming news it is already about Iger, MBA's, and Disney's hatred for creativity. Not only is that absolutely tone-deaf, but it's borderline mentally unbalanced.

Sorry Bairstow, I'm sure you can tell that was not directed at you.

There really is not much “us” and “them” on the design side of attractions. It’s a lot of the same people working for Disney and Universal.

Exactly!

From Cartoon Brew’s report:

Though shocking to the public, Lasseter’s behavior has been one of the animation industry’s worst-kept secrets, known to many Pixar employees. Sources additionally tell Cartoon Brew that there has allegedly been at least one financial settlement from the Walt Disney Company over Lasseter’s actions. This implies that the behavior went on with the knowledge of Disney and Pixar Animation Studios president Ed Catmull and Disney CEO Bob Iger.http://www.cartoonbrew.com/artist-r...-absence-pixar-following-missteps-154881.html

The whole hype machine surrounding Lasseter crumbled for me years ago when he fired Chris Sanders and turned American Dog into the very bland Bolt and became increasingly more fixated on Cars. This is how I took the news

JL's issues with alcohol were alluded to by Spirit on multiple occasions, As were his huge differences in opinion WRT creatives at Disney. Iger has wanted him out since forever, Don't worry Rohde will be next. Spirit never noted JL as a pig just an drunk.

But what the heck he'll be replaced by some Stanford Business School grad who knows all about making profitable movies...

Of course you had to bring up Iger as usual.

Yeah why did he fire all of those Animators?!

 

[brb1006]

This would be the best time to hear @WDW1974 come back to this thread to hear his thoughts.

I have less than zero interest in video gaming the only gaming character i readily recognize is Mario, the only time i deal with video gaming is when setting up network policies to ensure low latency connections to gaming networks

Still missing the point

I really think this was what spirit was alluding to. He said something explosive was going to come out and this sure is explosive.

 

[Bairstow]

Can’t. That’s not my place. The media needs to scrutinize the behavior of those at 1401 Flower Street in the hope that victims can find the security to speak out and an outlet won’t be afraid to run a piece.

Better yet, have law enforcement enforce some laws.

Better yet, have law enforcement enforce some laws.

That’s the goal, but it takes time.

I pretty sure I know what's wrong with ford91explorer -
He's a Ford.

You know what they say Ford stands for, don't ya? It stands for 'Fix it again, Tony'.

Simple enough.

We've been through this before, if you know something about a crime being commited especially one as serious as you are speaking about then it absolutely is your place.

Charlie Rose was toast within 24 hours.

Charlie Rose didn’t save Walt Disney Animation and make them billions of dollars, did he?

From Vanity Fair
https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2017/11/disney-pixar-john-lasseter-leave-allegations
Guest starring Zenia Mucha, Edwin Catmull and Andrew Millstein as damage control!

Oh and Pete Docter might be taking over.

 

[HauntedMansionFLA]

So, if John Lasseter is guilty of sexual assault, it's okay since he saved WDW a Animation and made the company billions? Your words.

 

[the.dreamfinder]

If Pete Docter takes over, I hope they bring back Brenda Chapman as a co-CCO for the two studios.

John was the reason Branda was fired from “Brave”.
