Michael Eisner’s final letter to the company

Dear All,

I’m sitting in my office thinking about how
much I have enjoyed working with the people who make up this Company. I
am about to pack up 21 years of pictures, books and letters and other
Disney memorabilia from around the world that hopefully my great
grandchildren will not sell on eBay. In the meantime, I will use these
objects to trigger fantastic memories of my two decades sitting under
the roof supported by the seven dwarfs in the Team Disney Building.

High Praise for Wallace & Gromit

I predict this feature will be a box-office smash of SHREK 2 proportions. I hope AARDMAN is considering another feature length WALLACE & GROMIT adventure. I’ll be first in line. High Praise for Wallace & Gromit: Curse of the were-rabbit from CartoonBrew, a Dreamworks release of an Aardman Studios picture. Sounds like there is some… Read More »High Praise for Wallace & Gromit

Weinsteins Off the Reservation

Another by-product of the Eisner/Iger switch was the departure of the Weinstein brothers, Bob and Harvey. They’ve left Disney and the company they created and have now officially started work at their new eponynous establishment. Best of luck to the boys. Keep releasing good films, fun films, and interesting storylines and I’ll keep coming to… Read More »Weinsteins Off the Reservation

We sail the ocean blue

If you’ve been thinking of taking a Disney cruise, now might be the time. The Disney Magic is about to come off it’s first major renovation in its seven year operation. Now the big question is when does it make sense for Disney to add another ship or two and send one back to the… Read More »We sail the ocean blue

Mirrormask: Reviews

Mirrormask, the latest film from the Jim Henson Company, is in limited release now. Cory from BoIngBoInG has seen it and says, "What a Movie!" ComingSoon.net calls it, "a wonderfully demented fairy tale." Sounds like high praise to me. Unfortunately it’s not playing in Orlando. (see the official site for theatre listtings.) The word is… Read More »Mirrormask: Reviews

Disneyland Gives Away First Car for 50th Anniversary

Remember when I complained about Disneyland not giving away anything for their 50th Birthday Bash? Well, they’ve figured out how to do it for the month of October at least. Disney has partnered with Honda and plans to give away a Honda Civic a Day for the rest of the month. Okay, technically they’re saying… Read More »Disneyland Gives Away First Car for 50th Anniversary

E-Ville Press: Pixar shows its chops

If the string of hits coming from Pixar’s studios in Emeryville, CA weren’t proof enough of great artistry and talent, a group of the computer generated animation squad has banded together to create a comics and illustration company to drive home the point. The E-Ville Press has made waves at comic-con and other conventions, now… Read More »E-Ville Press: Pixar shows its chops

Happy Birthday Walt Disney World (and EPCOT!)

Today is the anniversary of the official openings for two of Walt Disney World’s themeparks. Magic Kingdom turns 34 and EPCOT turns 23. Next year’s 35th anniversary for Magic Kingdom might get swallowed by the 50th Celebration for Disney themeparks, but everyone is expecting something huge for EPCOT’s 25th. Not only is 2007 a five… Read More »Happy Birthday Walt Disney World (and EPCOT!)
