This past December 27th, I took time from my day (currently vacationing in Orlando) to travel to an internet cafe. I spent an half hour searching all the media Sites, and my time was wasted.
PETER PAN turned 100 years old this past Monday. I had expected to see the CNN ticker read "Peter Pan Celebrates 100th Anniversary Today, First Play Performed In London" or something to that affect. I expected to read articles on CNN.com, FoxNews.com, and ESPECIALLY Playbill.com!!
Alas, no media Site WHATSOEVER mentioned it.
Now a few months ago when POPEYE turned 75, the media went nuts.
I'm sorry - I thought 100 was a more important number than 75. I'm sorry - I thought PETER PAN was more popular than POPEYE. Sure, POPEYE was a cartoon and a movie, but PETER PAN was a silent film, a live-action film, an animated film, an animated sequel, a television cartoon series, a play, a musical, and a classic novel.
One media Site did something - the BBC in the UK, which doesn't air in the US.
Am I wrong? Why no mention AT ALL? Why give it to POPEYE?
