Some wonderful behind the scenes shots from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

How does one not love the cast in blue jeans (De’s legs go on forever) or Leonard in a robe.

I think It’s Time For The Animation Guild to start early. Also David Zaslav Sucks and it’s funny how that last tweet came from the Same CEO who told his Workers to listen to a song from “Trolls” and telling them that they were losing their job when Quibi became a failure of a streaming service.

Pierre Gasly was right when he said that Lewis is the most connected guy.

What do you think of Jeffrey Katzenberg and Michael Eisner?

Oh these two don't get me started on the drama they caused during the '80s, 90s amd 2000s at Disney, they are both pieces of work that have more cons than Pro

At least with Walt Disney or any of them they have shit that balances out the bad these guys they were just flat out me me me,

You know why DreamWorks was founded? because Jeffrey over here kept bragging about a job that he was going to have after the fact his so-called friend who had had the job before died in a helicopter crash!

It wasn't even a week later this asshole was walking around bragging about how he was going to get the job when they told him no and in fact fired him that's when he went and founded DreamWorks,

He also told animators to edit out scenes in the '80s when everything was still hand drawn, you couldn't edit out scenes. He was so obstinate on this that they had to get Eisner to stop him from destroying the film because he wouldn't listen to the animators behind it -.-

Also, blame Jeffrey for the reason why we do not have 2D animation in Disney anymore he tossed it out the window, and I quote because there is no money in it.

Jeffrey is definitely on my shit list I want to respect him but how can I respect him when he won't even listen to animators when they try to tell him you can't do certain things.

Eisner was a train wreck of a CEO did you know crime at the parks literally spiked, a kid was shot and killed in the Disneyland parking lot because of gang activity because of all the clubs he had added to the parks for teenagers and yes adults if you went to what they called Pleasure Island yes they had a land called Pleasure Island, it even had a lingerie store themed after Jessica Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit was actually the one sitting on the archway to the island,

I will say the majority of teens have good memories about one specific club called Videoopolis. However, the rest of the clubs were known for being well, not so good,

Team members of gangs would go to these clubs and hire kids out of them this went on for years,

He renamed the Zippity Doo Dah ride to Splash Mountain not because they were retheming it to actually fit the H2O splash mermaid movie. No, he just renamed it because he wanted to,

If anybody got a swift kick in the ass from Mickey Mouse, it would be Eisner. He about bankrupted the company a few times because originally no Hong Kong and Paris were absolutely bleeding money when they were initially built because they went so badly over budget because of Eisner!

He was a stubborn hard ass of a man who if anybody told him no he would throw a temper tantrum and figure out how to make it work anyways,

But the worst of the worst I will bring his name in is still chapek somehow chapek has beaten Eisner for being the worst CEO so Eisner isn't my most I do not like you on my list of Disney staffers but he's damn near close.

The Shield put FX on the map. Mad Men put AMC on the map. House of Cards put Netflix on the map. Writers did that. Not some CEO.

Know what you get when you put CEOs in creative lanes? You get Quibi.

My biggest grievance is Jeffrey Katzenberg involvement with Shrek.

Shrek as a franchise is meant to poke fun at the silliness and hypocrisies of the Walt Disney Company. Nothing wrong with that.

But I think the movie would bring the point closer to home if one of the producers wasn't literally directly responsible for several of the worst Disney actions.

[weirdgirl92]

Whether you love or hate FernGully, I think we can all agree that Jeffrey Katzenberg was NOT the right person to run Disney.

It’s kinda funny that Animaniacs (Kids WB era episodes) and Freakazoid made quite a few references to DreamWorks before that studio even released its first film.

Tarzan (1999)

Benvenuti o bentornati sul nostro blog. Nello scorso articolo abbiamo ripreso a parlare della Disney, continuando a parlare dei suoi classici animati e arrivando a parlare di uno dei suoi lavori migliori, Mulan. Gli Unni hanno superato la Grande Muraglia e l’imperatore della Cina ha ordinato la mobilizzazione dell’esercito e di chiamare almeno un uomo di ogni famiglia pronto a combattere. Una di…

(Vulture) — Don Hahn remembers the night he lost the Oscar for Best Picture. The Beauty and the Beast producer sat in the seventh row of the 64th Academy Awards, next to Jeffrey Katzenberg and behind Sylvester Stallone, listening as Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman announced the winner. It was 1992, and the film’s nomination was historic — a first for animation — but another thought raced through Hahn’s head. Before the ceremony, Disney CEO Michael Eisner had called with an unusual request.

“If you win, could you do the following?” Eisner asked him. “Could you say, ‘Thanks, everybody that worked on the film — and now I’m going to Disneyland’?” Eisner assured Hahn that the company would send a donation to the charity of his choice as thanks.

“Really, am I going to do this?” Hahn remembers thinking. To him, sitting at the Oscars was like being “at the United Nations, because everyone comes from around the world to celebrate film.” But Eisner had understood that the event was prime real estate for product placement.

Hahn’s agita ended up being moot. Beauty and the Beast lost to The Silence of the Lambs. But Hahn never forgot the sentiment behind Eisner’s request: that even as they anticipated a landmark moment for the medium, Eisner was thinking less about the achievement than he was about commercial opportunities.

For years, Disney tried to get back on that stage with animated films that appealed to mass audiences, earned boatloads of cash, and re-established the company’s reputation, which had stagnated in the post-Walt era. “The executives really wanted to make these serious movies that would get them taken seriously by the Oscars,” says animation restorationist Garrett Gilchrist. “So you get Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame.” Both films, despite their heavier subject matter — colonization, discrimination, religious zealotry — failed to drive Oscars attention in major categories...

...  In the 20 years since, however, the realities of the category have divided animators. The award has overwhelmingly favored major U.S. studios with pockets deep enough to fund awards campaigns — specifically Disney or Disney-distributed films like those from Pixar. (Combined, the two studios have won the award 15 times in 21 years.) Best Animated Feature tends to go to kid-friendly films animated primarily in 3-D CGI (19 times). Independent films, movies aimed at adults, or those created in different art styles rarely get nominated, let alone win. The 17 animators interviewed for this story disagree on the award’s success in championing animation, question its history of nominees and winners, and wonder whether its issues are ultimately fixable.

Not to make any excuses, but just a reminder that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) is made up of just over 10,000 members of the film industry (directors, actors, producers, animators, writers, composers, editors, costume designers, makeup artists, etc.) - a number that is growing in attempts to diversify and internationalize AMPAS’ demographics. It is a messy, messy process. And to have Best Animated Feature - in its winners and nominees - reflect the world of animated film as a whole would be a hell of a challenge.
