Neo,
re Disney

I guess it all boils down to the definition of good. Do I detect a bit of bias... popular culture, loved by the masses, doesn't compare to more "sophisticated" fare? ggg
Put the sheer delight of a child meeting Mickey or Goofy on one side of the scale and your appreciation of film art and history on the other. As a child, joining the whole family to watch the "Wonderful World of Disney" was a big part of the week, a perfect end to a day that started with the whole family sitting together in church. And then there is "Fantasia".

I do understand and to a certain extent agree with your point and your uncertainty and would argue for another double entry instead of a trade.

Boy, are you stretching. Especially after Kubrick's last failure.

In 50 years few will remember Kubrick, despite a number of excellent films. Disney will contimue to represent the best of America to the world - despite the worst efforts of those who ran the company after his death.

At last count, no man won more Oscars. No man - not Hitchcock or Spielberg - was more an icon of his craft.
