Now, only if WDW required the Lumberjacks to drink around the world BEFORE their show...
That would be worth watching.

Perhaps a cover charge and two drink minimum? No doubt the two drink minimum would be easy peasy.

Slightly over the top statement.... I mean never treated his characters with respect??? Come on.
He did create the universe...he did write Empire Strikes Back and did the screenplay with Kasdan. He gave
Leigh Brackett credit for the screenplay because he liked her. They didn't use anything she wrote.
Now..Phantom Menance...well...it's like your favorite rock band trying to recreate that amazing album one more time. Lucas wasn't the same director he was when doing Thx-1138, American Graffiti, Star Wars. He wasn't the same creative guy who was writing concepts like apocalypse now or Indiana Jones.
He tried making the best glass of Ice Tea he could make....except everyone wanted Coca-Cola...and he got destroyed for it. Still to this day is getting destroyed. It's impressive really.
We all lose the ability to hit a fastball at some point in our lives. Brian Wilson from the Beach Boys can't create the the follow up to Pet Sounds now. Everyone has that moment to shine if we are lucky.
However...I've never seen a man take it on the chin as hard as he has because of movies he made that weren't critically accepted to a certain audience.
Lesson in life kids of this board....if you are lucky enough to work hard and become successful...there are those who are dying for the chance to destroy you.
JK Rowling just needs to make one big mistake before fans destroy her for never treating her characters with respect.
Give it time, no one is perfect. Merry Christmas from Yoda.

So will the Lumberjack Show now have the Weather Girls as special musical guests?

( regarding the film *Treasure Planet* )
I*m not sure what you mean SirLink, as there were plenty of guns present throughout the film.
They may have been futuristic versions of old-style firearms ( particularly for the pirate characters ), but there were several scenes where characters were clearly aiming them at each other and firing away.
Some examples include the action orientated shoot-outs between the pirates and the heroes during a few key scenes, as well as the scene where Jim faces Scroop and aims a firearm point blank to his face.
I cannot think of a Disney animated film with more guns present except *Atlantis*...but then again, you can*t really tell a story involving pirates without them!
Part of the reason i enjoy this film as much as i do is that it was different then the usual Disney animated fare up to that time.
It was more daring in design and content, had a unique sci-fi spin to it, and in my opinion really pushed some artistic boundaries.
A shame it did not have better timing with it*s original release date.
Still convinced it would have been a smash hit following after the release of the first *POTC* film.

Or they could continue to push the envelope to develop new tools and techniques to improve their film making.
I didn't think we wanted Disney to rest on their laurels and pump out budget conscious things?

Ron Miller said something of that effect to a young John Lasseter, who was experimenting with hand drawn characters in computer generated backgrounds, before he fired him.

You know how somebody once told me that Disney was gonna buy Hasbro?
They ain't the sharpest tools in the shed.
They'll be looking kinda dumb with their finger and their thumb in the shape of an L on their foreheads.

EDIT: Dreamworks Animation and Hasbro are planning a merger if my clumsy repurposing of Smash Mouth/Shrek lyrics was somehow too subtle.

We eventually got CAPS, which is a more advanced version of what John was pitching years earlier. That software made so many things possible like...

My one glaring observation about this company is its lack of foresight.
They would rather save one dollar today even though it would mean that would have to spend 100 dollars later down the road.

While I agree this is spot on, I'm curious: is there some recent specific example that prompted this comment now (that I may have missed and hence my interest), or is it simply the accumulation of evidence?

But if that $1 doubles every year and they have an 8 year time horizon, they come out $28 ahead.

And if it, like, tripled, they'd have even more money. Imagine if it quadrupled?!? Whoa....
Or that could be a bunch of bull and no one has any real idea what Disney does with their money because it doesn't make sense anyway...
