I think you should do what the Imagineers do... make a sketch, maybe a storyboard, and elaborate it yourself. It sounds very similar to the Timekeeper premise. It may be too similar. But present it in a way that others can see what you're really thinking.

The original office is in Glendale, CA, but there's also an office in Orlando, Fl. And I might be wrong, but I'm thinking the book also mentioned a small one in New York? Am I dreaming that? Anyway, if you go to...

Actually WDI (Walt Disney Imagineering) has a diversity of specialists working in its department. While engineers are a certain necessity and are arguably the backbone of the department, there is a vast diversity of educational backgrounds. Quoting from the book, Walt Disney Imagineering...

Gay theme park to attract gay tourists?? Sounds like the way things were when Eisner was at the helm... Oooh! :lookaroun That one probably crossed the line. Sorry bout that Mike.

No one likes to hear about people losing their jobs. Still we have to remember that the other 80% of the artists who got to keep their jobs now get to work on REAL feature production rather than the half a**ed sequels that Eisner wanted to do. I'm glad that Disney will help the laid off...

Wasn't PIXAR a spin off of Industrial Light and Magic? I'm pretty sure Steve Jobs is not the founder. Correct me if I'm wrong. I guess it's just details. Anyway, I like the direction things are going. Of course businesses go in cycles and have their high times as well as their low times...

Wow... I lot of things are happening. I hope it all pays off. I'm antsy for the resulting products. BTW, it sounds like people here are assuming that since Clements and Musker are returning 2-D animation is also returning. I'd like that but I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be the case...

Well, we have to remember that the point of owning a corporation IS to make a profit, not to own chunks of history. Now a lot of people in here might not like that, but that's just the way it is. People love Roger Rabbit and supporting characters --> they make money --> that's why it makes sense...

Wallace and Gromit might be the superior film, but Bambi II is selling better. And that's really what it comes down to. We criticize Disney for the direct to DVD sequels, but I think is a case that gives good reason to why they do it. Still, as people have already mentioned, the reason Bambi II...

Eddie Valentine: "She's married to Roger Rabbit?!" Betty Boop: "Yeeeahh... whadda lucky girl." It'd be cool to see more Roger. But I don't know if Who Framed was really in line w/ the Disney "family entertainment" image. Finally, I know Dreamworks and Disney have been rather strong...

I believe John's title will be something along the lines of "Creative Chair" or something like that. Basically he's got the power to greenlight all of the animated films (is it just for animation? someone help me out). He will also be the creative consultant for Disney Imagineers in developing...

Woody also isn't criticizing Walt Disney's creativity and storytelling ability, the things Walt is respected so much for. As business practices and ethics go, I have no problem with acknowledging Eisner's abilities in comparison to Walt. But this isn't where Eisner gets criticized either. Where...

As a kid I used to think it was cool how sponsorships at Disney matched the ride or event. i.e. FedEx - Space Mountain, GM - TestTrack, AT&T - Spaceship Earth (am I correct on that one?). When I went to WDW over New Years though and saw that the new Lights Motors Action (great show btw!) was...

just to add to that. You'd think if Pixar continued to nail 'em with their awesome box office hit films they could take their time with one film a year couldn't they? I guess as long as there are creative people running the show and they can handle the pressure, I'm alright with it. We'll...

yeah I really don't like the sound of that either. I really really don't like the idea of a Toy Story 3. I hope they know what they're doing.

Ok, it exists. But the last animated hit that it produced was what, The Lion King? Maybe you could argue Tarzan. The thing is people just don't associate animation (great animation that is) with Disney anymore, and I think that needs to change. I don't want Disney to be number 3 in animation...

Where is Walt Disney Feature Animation now? It's all but non-existant and it certainly isn't number one. It has to get it back with whatever it takes. Animation is what makes Disney period. That's why the theme parks are successful, that's why even sequels, like 'em or hate 'em, are successful...

I went back to WDW to run the half marathon there over my winter break. It was my first half marathon and it was so cool! It was also the first time I've seen Stitch's Great Escape. Was it a bad ride? No. But man, me and SIR were homies back in the day! I know it was probably better for...

I want the result of this acquisition to be a revival in the DISNEY tradition of innovation in entertainment and technology particular to animation. Disney and animation used to be synonomous (sp?) together. Disney was number one. I was a fan and nothing made me prouder. Now in animation, Disney...

Any ideas about how this is gonna work? These guys are under the same roof now but how do you decide which films are released as Disney and which are released as Disney Pixar without one eventually overshadowing the other?
