Disney, Chicken Run and all that jazz

Once Walt died watching Disney films get made was like watching master chefs cook hotdogs.
--Brad Bird


So I've been watching the headlines... Will Disney and Pixar renew their deal? Yes, no, who can keep track? Will Chicken Run revitalize Disney animation--now that they've tossed all their 2D animators out on the street? Will we ever see the end of the DTV nightmare? meh, probably not...

I imagine most people here are like me... they grew up on Disney features but have been scratching their heads for the past few years going... now that Eisner's gone, can Disney be saved? Or maybe another question might be should Disney be saved? Perhaps their day is done and it's time to turn the legacy of animation over to the next generation of studios?


thoughts?

Chicken Little you mean? Sorry just noticed that.
Meh it looks stupid to me. Like they are trying to push being funny. If it were a 2d film I might consider watching it in theaters, but as it is, I'll probably pass on this one.

Disney has made some decent films since Walt died, but over 80% seem to be just made for the money. Their newer stuff lacks the heart that a lot of movies, like some of their older films, had. I think any company that becomes that greedy should disappear. I don't know if Disney can be saved or not because it's gone on for too long. Eisner should have been fired a long time ago. Hopefully a new studio will crop up that will rival Disney and revive 2D animation.
