I fear you may be right Chris. Take a look at the last couple of animated movies released by Disney that weren’t done by Pixar. The only one to do well at the box office was Lilo & Stitch.
I think in some small way, Roy Disney can take this as a victory for him. Eisner is ruining this company. I think it’s kind of ironic that just after they close down Feature Animation in Florida and lay off all those animators because Eisner believes that 2D animation is dead, Pixar drops this bomb. Just before Roy left, he was suppose to meet with John Lasseter and Eisner wouldn’t allow Roy to go ahead with the meeting. I wonder if that meeting had anything to do with the talks of renewing their contract. I can see Pixar signing on with Dreamworks given Spielberg’s relationship with Lucas and Lucas’s relationship with Pixar.
Disney’s annual meeting is happening March 3rd and Eisner is up for re-election to the board of directors. Should be an interesting meeting…..You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you can't be sure. But it doesn't matter - because we'll be together.
