As typical mornings go, I was watching a movie this morning with my daughter. While watching Disney's, Lady & the Tramp II: Scampy's Adventure, it occurred to me; Disney is hurting. Just perusing through the recent releases of Best Buy's Family Movie section should be enough to prove my point. Peter Pan II: Return to Never Land, Hunchback of Notre Dame II, Aladdin II, 101 Dalmatians II, The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea, and Pocahontas II.
Never mind the other motion picture crap coming out of Anaheim (The Emperor's New Groove, Mulan and Hercules), but somebody up there in the Magic Kingdom is running out of inspiration. Seriously, some folks may question, "What about Toy Story, Bug's Life, and Monsters, Inc.?" One word: PIXAR
Now, I might be willing to pay homage to Lilo & Stitch as an original story, but still, one out of a dozen that has a new slant of a storyline. Come on Michael Eisner! Let's crack a whip over there, or maybe you need to find some fresh ideas from somewhere outside the glare of Hollywood.
Man, that's my bitch session today. Well, Disney and the fact the investor has yet to call me back and reschedule our meeting (again).
