    Disney is no longer a family oriented entity. It has become just another big, greedy, bloated entity.

    Walt Disney would turn over in his grave if he knew what Disney has become under corporate management.  It’s so far removed from his vision yet are profiting by continuing to operate under his name.   It’s just so wrong.

    As a former artist at Walt Disney studios, i’m disheartened that the people making the decisions are the executives with no Creative bone in their body. Every decision is about making money, not about putting out a great story. Walt Disney was willing to sacrifice all his money to make sure that his Creative ideas would come to fruition. Now the owners of the company are all about making money and sacrificing story and quality. It’s heartbreaking.

    Saul Steinberg, Stanley Gold, Michael Eisner, Jeffrey Katzenberg, Michael Ovitz, Bob Iger ... the usual vultures, taking something American and turning it into garbage.

    The new owners don’t even care about money. They want to destroy everything that’s wholesome and good about this country.

    Walt got his philosophy, own everything you create, from his idol, Charles Chaplin

    We don't want rehashed stories about comic book superheroes. We want magic.

    I went to Disneyland in California when i got back from Vietnam in 1967. I remember that tell of Walt being frozen. It was a big and somewhat believable story at that time. Lies sometimes can be believable.
