If you speak to him soon, any way you can ask about a 2-disc Special Edition DVD release?

---

Even though I speak to him all the time, I'm afraid he no longer is associated with Fox - something about Titan AE, his last project with them. Fickle hollywood . . .

I would absolutely LOVE to see this movie made into a broadway musical...it's beautiful, the music is enchanting and the story is so accessible....i think it'd be fantastic...I mean, the fact that it was Fox's first animated feature and it was THAT astounding definitely says something...heck, I'll back it if anyone brings up the idea! DISNEY is goin' down!!!! :)

Just a side note - it's a little sad to me that so much vitriol is tossed around at the mere mention of the Disney name. Certainly I can understand that what it represents now can be bothersome, to say the least, but it still uses the name of a man who gave much of his time and talent to enrich and entertain so many. It is beyond sad to me that his legacy is so tarnished - he, as a man and a representative ideal, deserves so much better.

Not to mention the fact that they lost Pixar - the one thing Disney had going for them.

Treasure Planet, Emporer's New Groove, Atlantis, Brother Bear, Home On The Range, and most ALL THE SEQUELS do it.

Disney has learned its lesson, however, and has canceled many plans for producing sequels.

They money making scheme now seems to be re-releasing older films to DVD in special editions. I am ALL FOR THIS, however, since the DVDs are very nice and indeed special. I can't wait for the 2-disc of MARY POPPINS and ALADDIN and MULAN this October and December.

Disney's live-action films used to be great, but then trash like Ella Enchanted, Haunted Mansion et al came about. PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN was a huge success, however.

And what has become of the Disney Channel and ABC? We used to have great shows such as Duck Tales, The Rescue Rangers, Bonkers, Darwing Duck, Goof Troop, Boy Meets World, The Gummi Bears, etc. Now we have trash such as Lizzie McGuire, Even Stevens, That's So Raven, etc. Such garbage.

"Whatever happened to CLASS?"
