James: A major plank of your anti-DIS feeling seems to be the lack of cultural value in much of their work. This argument has some validity but a movie like 'The English Patient' produced by a DIS company has much artistic merit and won a significant number of Oscars earlier this year. Likewise the excellent score for Pocahontas won an oscar last year. There are numerous examples that one could quote. Much of the film work is of high quality, some isn't but to imply that DIS output is all cultural trash is unfair and clearly untrue IMHO. DIS now produces many non-childrens movies e.g 'The Rock' which are succesful and are not just trash. 'The Rock' was rewritten by Dick Clement and Ian LaFrenais two of the very best British film and TV writers (uncredited). Pete Greenhill
