Just further evidence that Disney has become a consumer brands company, albeit the one with the most valuable brands on earth.

Looks like Dreamworks is in trouble: Are Dreamworks Backers Backing Out? DREAMWORKS SCOOP.... On Monday the New York Times ran a piece about Dreamworks, the work-in-progress mega-studio controlled by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen. The story said that the Korean investors in the studio, the Lees, were going to put up the remaining $100 million of the $300 million commitment they made to Dreamworks. But sources say, actually, that the Koreans have said they will NOT put up the $100 million. So the Dreamworks Three (like Tennessee?) has gone back to Paul Allen and asked the deep-pocketed one to increase HIS commitment (already $330 million!) by another $100 million! Allen is said to be considering what to do. (A Dreamworks spokesperson, however, denied the report and said the Lees are paying the entire $300 million.) Wow! One thing that NYT's story DID get right was that it's time for Dreamworks to show if it's for real. Or not! pathfinder.com Looks like another Orion in the making.
