Do you think Walt Disney would roll over in his grave if he knew what his company has come to?

I think he would be more upset with the turn Disney films are taking.  If they can't think of anything new they simply make a sequel to a classic like Cinderella, or they remake older movies like Herbie or The Shaggy Dog.  The lack of originality is pretty shocking if you ask me and I think Walt would very disappointed in the creative efforts of the film makers.  But yes, television that is so-called family television is horrible!

Depends upon your definition of "badly".\nThey certainly don't receive the prestige and respect they did when they worked with/for Walt Disney himself; but allegedly they are amongst the best paid and benefits compensated workers in the American animation field today.

I am from Michigan and have experienced a lot of the Delphi destruction first hand. I agree that the company is working hard to cover only a couple asses but in the process are screwing A WHOLE LOT of people over. I dont know how long the process of pulling down the company has been going on, surely they knew a good while ago that this current situation was inevitable. Its unbelievable to me that a company can be allowed to ruin the lives of people that had faith in them and spent years planning a future based on what they offered. I cant imagine what I would do if it was me. Some of them will have to start all over in order to keep what they already worked hard for. \nDamn corporate America. God knows myself and others have learned a lesson from all of this, dont count on anyone else to care for your future!

I think the creators of the story line are just throwing stuff around to see what catches on. What is the deal with the supply drop? If Sawyer, or anybody else, saw a plane, would they really forget to mention it? Speaking of trading for Walt, what happened to his father, Michael? Last we saw, he went into the jungle looking for Walt! Getting rather chaotic, to say the least.

Walt was in debt way beyond his means to build Disneyland and only managed to buy enough land for the park and parking lots. Shortly after Disneyland proved to be a success, motels and gas stations and restaurants popped up on the streets surrounding the park. Walt didn't like the abrupt transition from his Happiest Place on Earth to modern reality and regretted not having more land to surround his property as a buffer zone, as well as to expand the park itself. Disneyland was the first Theme Park, and was often referred to as "Walt's Folly". Experienced amusement parks thought it would fail, and the concept of a second ticket to a different park was not thought of.\n\nIn the late 50's/early 60's Walt started scouting for a new place to build his dream park, with enough land surrounding it to hold whatever they could dream up. There were other conditions too, like proximity to a major airport and highways. The Disney company began buying Florida swampland under assumed names (in order to kep the price down) until word got out that Disney was buying the land. They created their own legislative district as well, and worked on supplying their own power, water, and other utilities.\n\nBefore his death, Walt already had big plans for "the Florida project". The Magic Kingdom would be built in Florida, and the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (EPCOT, which is now more of a permanent world's fair). Additionally, they would build hotels on the property. Sadly, Walt died before Disney World opened in 1971, but the company has been expanding the resort ever since.\n\nIt was as a result of the success of Disney World that other operators (including Disneyland management) saw the value in a second gate ticket and in keeping people on property to spend their dollars at Disney. Disneyland now has a second gate in California Adventure, and has built several new hotels in addition to the original Disneyland Hotel.\n\nMore information on the development of Disney World can be found at the link.

Probably....they don't know when to stop!  Their goal is to see how many parents will poke their eyes out before the last movie,\nand they must reach at least 1,000,000,000,000 before they can stop making sequels!!!

This is all I could find:\n\nFT. LAUDERDALE, FL -- (Market Wire - May 04, 2006) --  Information Architects (IA) (OTC BB: IACH), a leader in online information solutions, today announced that the Company has entered into a letter of intent to acquire Big International Group of Entertainment Inc., which provides quality family programming and an entertainment portfolio that appeals to a significant portion of the market that relies on children's programming and takes a moderate approach to television and entertainment. \n\nAND\n\nWe always knew Michael Jackson had a thing for cartoons. Now it looks the King of Pop will finally star in one of his own. \n\nJackson will be moonwalking his way back to the big screen, agreeing to star in and produce The Way of the Unicorn, The Endangered One, a $75 million animated tale due to start pre-production next month. The Gloved One will assume the voice of an orphan named Sailor who teams up with a lonely rich girl and a band of endangered animals on a quest to save Mother Earth. \n\nWhile the 42-year-old pop legend has been MIA in movie theaters since Disney retired his long-running Captain EO 3-D flick in 1996, it's expected that this latest big-screen thriller will feature prominently in Jackson's comeback plans. \n\n"This is the new Michael Jackson, the movie actor and producer," Dennis W. Peterson, head of film co-producer Big International Group of Entertainment, told the Associated Press. "This is Michael's future and he wants to devote his energies to it."

Yikes! I'd be out of job. Bill Gates would still be a drop out. The owner of Liquid paper would be the richest man in world. Lord of The Rings, Star Wars and Harry Potter would have been hand drawn and animated like MGM's Tom and Jerry. Lara Croft would be a Teacher or a Nun! Increbles would have been shown as live action like Bioman and Shaider. Finding Nemo would be a real fish! Starbucks just serves coffee. No WiFi. Mac would still be a fruit. Windows would still be a part of your house.  We would still be using the abacus. Your cellphone would be as large as your table. Your mail arrives 3 months after. Your CDs would still be records. You'd be sending smoke signals instead of text messages. No anime! Just Power Rangers and the Muppet Show. Picachu's a hamster! Yahoo Messenger is actually a guy. The horror!!!

Long huh?\n\n\n OK. Let's get started. Hmmmm................................................................................................................. Walt was born on December 5, 1901. He asked his father to rent the family garage as a studio for which he will pay back $5 every month for the rent. in school, he doodled on drawing pictures than rather finishing his school work. He ended school when he was 16.( well i think that was it.) When Walt was 16, Walt lied about his age during World War 1 to join the American Red Cross. He had a dream about making a amusement park that everyone could enjoy. On 1928, Walt began to work on his famous character- Mickey Mouse. On July 17, 1955, Walt's first amusement park was opened in California and named Disneyland. Later, Walt helped wounded soldiers and drew pictures on the Red Cross ambulances. He earned extra money by decorating helmets. On 1925, Walt married Lilly Bounds. He made a larger amusement park called the Disney World which opened in Orlando, Florida in 1971. Walt found out that he had cancer because he had been smoking too much. He died on December 15. There are rumors that Walt arranged himself to be frozen but that is not true.

Yeah, they do that CRAP, and then turn around and support GAY DAY. I don't watch or buy anything they make. Walt Disney, the man had a great vision. The people after him are the ones screwing it up.

Probably never.  There have been constant rumors about a new Cheech and Chong movie.  But I do not think they are making one Cheech has said many times that he is not interested in making a new Cheech and Chong movie.  He is happy with the way his career is going now.  He has said he got bored doing drug humor.  \n\nThe only way that I think a new movie would happen would be if they did something completely different than they did in the past.  No more movies about Pedro and Man

No.  It's a solid company and he has laid the groundwork to help it remain successful.  As long as he's still alive it will continue to be a strong company.  Though increased competition could weaken them over time, I would chalk that up to more of a natural progression than anything.

He will never retire... even if he says he is I think he'd go insane if he just flat out said 'that's it! I'm never making music again on principle alone!!!!'  C'mon- after Fight Club, Brad Pitt said he was retiring- that he'd made enough money and didn't want to do films anymore... he wnt like 3 years and couldn't take it anymore- no look at him he's got a movie a year again! And it's true- em and kim are going to get married again- according to them... imagine trying to explain in 10 years to his daughter why he said all those messed-up things about mommy and then remarried her!

I don't know, you will somehow have to get in touch with them in order to find that out.\n\nI would think that they would be shocked by his death, I know that I am

"Walt Disney was not only one of the most important producers in motion picture history, but one of the most important producers in American television history as well. He pioneered a relationship between the motion picture industry and the fledgling television industry."\n\nThis website gives lots of information about his importance to the television industry.
