Disney aping Pixar, going all-digital

Disney aping Pixar, going all-digital 11/10/2003 11:23 PM
Here's a great Slashdot article and discussion thread about Disney's abandonment of traditional, hand-drawn animation (which Disney has sworn, for years, it would never give up), in favor of 3D, computer-generated work.

Supposedly, all of their animators-- even staunch traditionalists such as Glenn Keane-- are being trained on 3D computer animation techniques. The last hand-drawn high-budget Disney feature scheduled for release is Home on the Range, which is due out next April. It appears that Disney is bowing to the supposed pressures of the market, even though the hand-drawn Lilo and Stitch was considered a success and the all-CG Dinosaur (done at Disney's now-defunct FX house The Secret Lab) was not. However, I believe there's another factor at work: Pixar's contract with Disney is set to expire soon, and the revered CG house has been making their own demands of Disney for the contract's renewal.

Comcast has made a $66 billion offer for Disney.

Comcast also released a letter sent to Eisner indicating that Eisner had personally rejected Roberts' offer to enter into discussions about a merger earlier in the week.

The letter from Roberts called it "unfortunate" that Eisner was not willing to enter into discussions. "Given this, the only way for us to proceed is to make a public proposal directly to you and your board," the letter stated.

Under the merger, Comcast said it would issue 0.78 of a share of its stock for each Disney share, and Disney shareholders would retain 42 percent of the combined company.

Back in February, when Comcast first announced their hostile bid to buy Disney it was big news. Then everyone looked at and realized that the deal made no sense, and everyone stopped talking about it. Realizing that it's clearly not going anywhere, and it's pretty much meaningless altogether, Comcast is considering withdrawing the bid altogether, which may be seen as an apologetic form of saying "um, okay, we admit, it wasn't the smartest idea in the first place..."
