dream on silly dreamer

i saw this premier yesterday. it is a documentary short about the rise and fall of the traditional hand drawn animated films at disney. it was really good as far as being informative, but it was very VERY biased. it is told from the animators point of view (all of whom got laid off when disney decided to do only CGI animated films) and it is basically their stories, so it comes across as alot of disgruntled employees just using this doc as a forum to do their bitching. don't get me wrong, it is good, but i think it could have been a little more well rounded... i would have loved to see them interview some of the big wigs who made these "cut back" decisions and see what they have to say. it made me hate michael eisner more than i already do and it even touched on the cheap-quel fad that disney is going through right now. one really exciting thing that happened though was that i got to meet roy disney. i told him that i was an avid member of save disney.com and that i really appriciated him having the balls to stand up for what he believed in. he laughed and said that i was a charming kid :)
