It just keeps getting better and better

....And then Iger puts Lasseter in charge. Not only of the films but of the parks as well. And he shuts down Toy Story 3 because of the fear that it would not be as sincere as the first two (sincerity? I thought it was all about money). Then he cans the cheap-quels (this isn't confirmed, but is more than likely true).

And then I get a call tonight from a friend who has a friend who heard from a friend that at a meeting tonight with Lasseter that he was talking all about bringing back the glory of Disney traditional 2D animation. How Pixar animators would not be tied down to their digital desktops. If someone wanted to work on a 2D film, they would be allowed to - probably even encouraged. That they are planning on bringing all those beautiful old animation desks out of that pathetic storage shed next to the Burbank airport and might even bring back shorts - hand-drawn animated shorts!

This friend of a friend of a friend went on to say that JL's main mission was to renew the public's trust and faith in the Disney name - that it would become the premier source of family entertainment that it once was. Can't wait till he's introducing the Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights...
