Very humorous and creative posts, but I don't know if it'll be quite like that. I do believe that Jobs is no longer the president of Pixar Animation under Disney. Ed Catmull will instead lead both Pixar and Disney feature animation studios. What Jobs has is a seat on the exec board, most shares...

From the statements I've read it looks like Iger understands what Disney's niche is. It's animation, period. Disney's got to get back in the hotseat and I think this is a great way to do it. He also sounds like he understands what makes Pixar so great and is determined to allow Pixar the freedom...

So the way this works out then, Pixar IS the Disney Animation Studio? Or will Disney still run a separate studio? What happens to Burbank?

Is Roy's plan really helping? Has anything changed? Do you think it will? Converse.

Are you allowed to choose a roommate? I have a roommate at school who is thinking about doing it with me. Also, it sounds like the downside is losing a semester of school, but don't they let you do it during the summer? How long are you down there for?

Has anyone here done the WDW college program or know someone who has? I'm considering it. I love WDW, but I'm wondering if I was down there long enough if it'd get old for me... I don't want that at all... Do they treat you well? I dunno, i'm just trying to find out more.

I think it does take both. Especially, since in feature animation, the character animation is created after the voices are recorded. They have to compliment each other. I thought Shrek (I know it's not Disney) was well designed, and for the most part well animated, but I thought Mike Myers...

Um... you guys think we might be overanalyzing this a bit? I agree with some of you who say it's a lot simpler than we're making it. I'm not sure about the scream changing pitch, but whether it's from a guest or the corpse, I don't think is really an issue. It's just there for effect in...

I'll be there to enjoy it for MGM and Magic Kingdom!!!! WOO-HOO! COLLEGE PARTY AT THE MOUSE'S HOUSE BABY!

I'm thinking that DCA did it just to conserve space. You don't have that problem in WDW. I don't much about TokyoDisney though. I'm going to have the experience of walking to Epcot from Boardwalk comingin in less than a week ( !!!! :-O !!!). I'm excited for that.

It's a good one Sami. I only saw it for the first time this weekend (the more busy I get the harder it is to go see these things!). A couple friends and I snuck into an empty lecture hall on campus that was open to students at night. It had a video projector so we popped the tape in and...

I have a question. What do you mean by N/A? Do you mean that the cost of production/marketing was too small to be accounted for, or were you just unable to find this info? If it was the former, then in my mind, Brother Bear did decently well. Why would management have no faith in it's...

How well did BB do in the Box Office?? If I understand right it flopped. My reasoning is to evaluate the battle between Disney's corporate managers and 2-D enthusiasts about whether 2-D is still profitable. I myself am a HUGE fan of hand drawn films and would love to see them continue in...

So your family buys, say, a 5 day hopper even though they only go for 4. Then they just keep doing this year after year and after four times they get to go for free? That might be a good idea to save money. But I don't know. Someone willing to do the math? Is buying four years of 5 day...

Great strategy on rainy days too... also if the outdoors are particularly crowded compared with the indoors.

Ok, I'm just gonna play Devil's Advocate here... what the heck would people in Hong Kong want with Frontierland?? Sure it works in the American parks because our imaginations are familiar with that sort of thing, but Eastern thinking is a bit different than Western thinking--ok, it's a LOT...

I'd like to say that personally, I don't think Disney's roots lie in theme parks. I think, and I think Roy believes this too, that Disney's roots lie in their films, particularly their animated ones. This eventually trickles into the theme park development and mainenence. I also don't...

Taking this to court could hurt the company itself. Roy doesn't want this. This isn't a fight against Disney. This is a fight against poor management of Disney.

I agree with every point of what that article said except for the subpoint of stopping the development of E rides because these only attract an older crowd. I disagree with this point and think it wouldn't be smart business for Disney to do something like that. Their parks are doing a fine...

They'll be testing them the very week I go. I'M HYPED!
