Muppet News Flash: Disney Buys Muppets Jim Henson had long considered a partnership with the Disney Company, but never was able to work a deal. Now that the Comcast offer has been rejected, Disney is looking to expand its entertainment offerings. But with Pixar and Disney splitting, is this merger the House of Mouse's attempt to revive its "synergy" or just another cultural gem for Eisner to strip mine?

Robert "Moose" Cobb's new job --Under fire for its handling of postwar contracts in Iraq, the Bush administration plans to appoint NASA's inspector general to the Coalition Provisional Authority in Baghdad to oversee investigations of any alleged abuses. Cobb was Associate Presidential Counsel for Bush and before that spent nine years as a career attorney with the Office of Government Ethics. His appointment was seen as a bid by the administration to counter criticism -- mostly from Democrats in Congress -- that oversight of multibillion-dollar contracts has been lax. So can a guy who worked in the Bush White House actually be trusted to objectively investigate abuses? And if the Pentagon is auditing all of this, why use this guy? (and can the Pentagon objectively investigate this stuff either?)

I'm working on a flight plan for the Alaska trip, leaving on Wednesday of next week, and I'm thinking about stopping in Winnipeg and Moose Jaw (because I have never been to those provinces), Edmonton for an oil change, Yellowknife, and Inuvik if the weather is favorable so that I can see the midnight sun.  Anyone have sightseeing tips for those places?  How long should one plan to spend in Winnipeg and Moose Jaw?

Comcast Wants To Buy Mickey Mouse


Comcast Wants To Buy Mickey Mouse 02/11/2004 12:27 PM
The big surprise story of the morning is that cable giant Comcast has decided to make an unsolicited bid for Disney. Expect the AOL-Time Warner comparisons to come fast and furious, though that's a bad comparison as these are very different companies. Still, it's difficult to see this deal making too much sense for Comcast. Disney is clearly on the downswing right now, and while it can do things to save itself, tying up with Comcast probably hinders them more than helps. Still, should be an interesting battle to watch. Michael Eisner clearly doesn't want the deal (he refused to negotiate, which is why this is a hostile bid), but Eisner doesn't have the full support of his board. Also should be interesting to see if anyone else steps in with an offer as well. Should be plenty of fireworks as the struggle for Mickey begins. Update: Some are already protesting< /a> the proposed deal, saying that such media consolidation is a "threat to American democracy." I'm not quite sure how that works out, as part of the reason Disney is in trouble is that people are paying much less attention to them these days. Either way, the FCC is promising to investigate the matter - which is barely worth stating, since that's part of their job. I'd just like to say that it's not as exciting to tell people "I'm going to Comcast World!"

Talk about a Mickey Mouse computer... Disney now offers a computer with, of all things, Mickey ears and a kid-sized mouse.
Ok, Mousekateers! Sing it with me, "M - I - C, K - E - Y, B - O - A - R - D!" :D


Banking on the huge popularity Mickey Mouse enjoys with kids worldwide, Walt Disney on Thursday unveiled a desktop PC with a monitor sporting the ears of the cartoon character.

The desktop, named Disney Dream Desk PC, has comes loaded with own-branded applications that enable children to draw, edit pictures, create music and write and direct their own movies. Its TFT (thin-film transistor) liquid-crystal display is Mickey-shaped and the computer has a mouse that is small enough for children to hold.

Disney's desktop, built by German PC maker Medion, comes with an Intel Celeron D 330 processor and a 3-D graphics card from ATI Technologies. Embedded speakers, a DVD player, a CD writer and player, and a digital pen are also included. The system is preloaded with the Windows XP operating system and software for e-mail filtering, Internet filtering and pop-up blocking.

Mickey Mouse's dwindling brand


Mickey Mouse's dwindling brand 04/17/2004 10:13 AM
Great NYT feature on the dwindling importance of Mickey Mouse as a character, and the attempts of the Dinsey organization to reimagine Mickey as a relevant character today.
"I was around 6 when I first saw him," [Maurice Sendak] said. "It filled me with joy. I think it was those primary colors so vivid and pure, taken up with the most incredibly beautiful animation, reminding you of Fred Astaire. Oh! And his character was the kind I wished I'd had as a child: brave and sassy and nasty and crooked and thinking of ways to outdo people." The joy leached from Mr. Sendak's voice. "Not like the lifeless fat pig he is now."

Mr. Sendak is hardly alone in mourning the mouse's decline. "Boring," "embalmed," "neglected," "irrelevant," "deracinated" and, perhaps most damning, "over" are some of the adjectives that cropped up in recent interviews with people in the cartoon, movie and marketing businesses.
