I think my bone to pick with that bit of the article, though, was more about how the value Eisner placed in the company's reputation suddenly changed as soon as he found out they made a lot of money. I mean, from a business standpoint, I completely understand. However, from a more personal standpoint, it just seems like saying you believe in one value... but suddenly don't care about it when it benefits you to act against that value.

Every movie seems to need a sequel of some sorts now, and it's getting rather annoying. I don't mind the sequels all that much, but I think that Disney should at least stop making so many, and instead perhaps focus more on the individual quality versus quantity. I'm sure (well, hoping anyway) that more people would prefer to buy a great DTV like Lion King 1 1/2 versus a terrible, just all over blah DTV like Pocahontas 2. <br /> <br />I also completely agree with the section of the article involving the different animation studios. I hate when it's obvious when animators switch (I'm thinking of the trial sequence of KOT here- it goes from looking fantastic to looking terrible as soon as Iago shows up).</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>xfkirsten</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subBlack/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Sat Aug 14, 2004 6:25 pm<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">"Now at the time I was told that Peter Schneider, who was in charge of Feature Animation was at a meeting with Michael Eisner. Peter said, 'You shouldn't do sequels, their quality hurts the Disney reputation,' and Michael said, 'I'm not sure we should be doing these either.' The next part of the meeting was, 'It cost $3.5 million to make and made over $100 million. Well, what should the next one be?'
