And the difference between the "actors and directors" who do that on DVDs and JK is that he happens to be the head and a part owner of a competing studio with the same stuff, animated films. Actos and directors are itinerant, employed one pic at a time; a CEO or exec isn't. <BR/><BR/>In any case, it's very cool of him to do it, and cool of them to have him do it.

Actors and directors do this kind of thing all the time; why should Katz be any different?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-1160505045428954792006-10-10T11:30:00.001-07:002006-10-10T11:30:00.001-07:00I was surprised, too...but that's the kind of a gu...I was surprised, too...but that's the kind of a guy JK is. He's clearly extremely proud(as he should be)of having worked with and on the Mermaid crew and that extends to the virtually unprecedented act of appearing on a <B>his main competitor's</B> DVD release. I think he would have gladly done it in Eisner's time--but I doubt that <I>Eisner</I> would have let him. Anyway, that's moot now. <BR/><BR/>Btw I have never heard Jeffrey say anything but positive and admiring things about all his talented competitors(artists) from both the other major studios, btw.
