Statement from Michael Eisner (remember when Disney was forward-thinking???)..... Another development that may or may not have an impact on our animation business is the digital video disk. I say "may not" because, over time, it may simply replace videotape. Therefore, I will restrain my enthusiasm for the potential of this new format, which of course is difficult for me. In 1998, we began releasing our films onto DVD. We are hopeful that, in the coming decade, this technology will grow to the point where we can profitably release more of our animated library titles in this format. Maybe I should re-phrase; "VHS is good enough for the masses. They don't really care about the video and audio quality that DVD has to offer." Sounds like a monopolist statement. Maybe DOJ should go after Disney! newsalert.com
