I hope there will be human characters.<br />I hope Disney will return to fairy tale like Snow Queen or others (Dancing Princesses, Rumpelstiltskin, Donkeyskin, Cupid and Psyche), it will be very interesting.marynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22906998.post-51490264059588363042011-03-17T08:15:28.588-07:002011-03-17T08:15:28.588-07:00Does anyone know how come Disney couldn't secu...<b>Does anyone know how come Disney couldn't secure the movie right to "Mort"?

But as you can see things differ from bussiness to bussiness. DreamWorks is a business but they respect their employees and treat them with dignity.<br /><br />And it's not just the bonuses and the steady paycheck; it's about the general atmosphere there.

Even after Tangled did well.<br /><br />What changed is that some of their most talented people started making serious noises about leaving. They pressured management. A few people DID leave for greener pastures.<br /><br />Disney ONLY opens the purse strings by force. Force is the only language they understand. And it paid off, in this case.<br /><br />Glad you guys are getting bonuses.
