I finally pinned down the problem I see with POE. There isn't a goofy character in the movie for kids to laugh at. It seems to me All successful animations have this feature. Lion King had Puma and the other dude (can't remember his name) ABL had the caterpillar, and in Toy Story everybody was goofy. Maybe POE has one but the trailers don't show it. The movie almost looks like a drama going after the adult audience. My opinion only, and I am getting real close to buying a trading position PIXR. Rory

No, no specifics Linda until MAT's 10-Q. They're [mat] down on sales through Toys r Us and most traditional toy stores as the early news reads. "Which doesn't mean 'ABL' products are not selling through these channels." I'd be interested in what merchandise numbers DIS/PIXR is selling through Wall Mart, Costco etc. Sense these outlets are what's eating into MAT's sales. And the MacDonald's numbers could be a good indication of the popularity of 'ABL' merchandise in general. Does anyone have an opinion of when DIS will recoup it's investment? I'm remembering that in the CC if PIXR makes 100m domestic box office that the pay off to DIS is some 55m? Have a Day and Merry Christmas Dave
