You don't think the collossal failures of Atlantis and Treasure planet had anything to do with that? Just because JK decided he wanted to stop making 2D at DW that shouldn't have influenced Disney. In fact, they should have been thrilled since their biggest rival had decided to not compete in 2D. If you want someone to blame for the demise of 2D (hopefully the temporary demise) there's plenty of blame to go around. I personally lay it at the feet of the audience...<br />But if you just want to piss all over JK for being JK and actually being the one to make you an animation fan since he created those childhood memories (I'm assuming you grew up watching all of Disney's big 90's hits since you sound so young and immature)then it sounds like you might have some Oedipal issues...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-8326119007132240752009-10-31T08:00:17.917-07:002009-10-31T08:00:17.917-07:00Hey Anon Midnight,

When I heard about Katzenberg...So true, Mr. Norman. When I heard about Katzenberg's ouster, I had a baaaddd feeling about it. From what I'd heard, Katzenberg had a real handle on what made a Disney film a Disney film. He once said that the best ones had a "moral resonance" that made them relevant yet timeless. He was the one who fearlessly fixed Aladdin, and made the animators redo the fight scene between Simba and Scar in the Lion King (he thought the fire looked too fake). Katzenberg helped Disney regain its glory. Eisner sold it all for a buck. And then started buying up worn-out properties like the Muppets and Power Rangers (good god). The question now is: is Iger any better? Frankly, I don't think so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-34593906009036087192009-10-30T08:06:04.019-07:002009-10-30T08:06:04.019-07:00I'll be honest.
