Its about Disney Video Games, or Disney Interactive. Somewhere in Utah. Not in the Guild.<br /><br />So then why didnt you make this the title?<br /><br />"The Unprofitable Disney Interactive"<br /><br />Nah, its ore fun to dump on Disney Animation.

There was no mention, and yet I figured it was about Winnie the Pooh, because that is the only "Disney Animation" that may be in danger of being unprofitable at the moment. <br /><br />If you had said Disney animation, maybe it would have been read otherwise. But saying Disney Animation makes it the title of something, and obviously the most closely related thing is Walt Disney Animation Studios. Most shorten the long title to Disney Animation in the first place. It's an understandable assumption.<br /><br />Having not ever worked for Disney, I can still say I see where these other anons are coming from being upset about it. They're trying to pick themselves up and make their name more respectable in the industry once again. Based on their last couple films, they've been doing a great job. But it's about more than that. How many people just glanced at this headline and went "well, surprise surprise" and continued on with their negative views about WDAS? I'd bet at least a few. And that's something that Disney doesn't need right now.<br /><br />Like you said, the title tries to get people to read on. But this blog isn't the 11 o'clock news, Steve. You don't need to use potentially misleading headlines in order to get people to read. Just my two cents.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-4420563153939727762011-05-15T22:41:13.168-07:002011-05-15T22:41:13.168-07:00Completely in agreement with the first Anon.
