learning from the past mistakes

The above article from JHM for once isn't a piece reminding us that Cars has disappointed at the box office.

It deals with something that I wish certain Wrestling Promotions would do and learn from the past so as to not repeat those mistakes.

The collumn deals with a recent lunch that Bob Iger (Disney's new CEO) had with some veterans of WDI. It also talks about how he has positioned Enchanted as the holiday release from the studio for 2007.

What's so special about that? Enchanted is a story that spoofs famous Disney fairietales such as Beauty & the Beast, Sleeping Beauty, and Cinderella. It also features traditional or 2D animation.

2D animation is something that former CEO Michael Eisner said was a thing of the past and something that Disney got out of the business of doing under Eisner's watch. It looks as though it is being revived under Iger with the help of Chief Creative Officer John Lassetter and the folks at Pixar and that's a good thing from this animation fan's point of view.
