Re: Disney...Anime...nooooo!

Hmm...this is tricky...

Depends how much Disney gets involved. If they are just planning on using the animation studio, ok...can live with that as long as the film/animation is labelled as a Disney film. If they plan on using the animation studio to brand their stuff as Japanese anime then...woah...no go.

I like Disney films, I like Japanese anime, I even enjoy reading Korean Manwahs.

Just don't fake or fudge it. Keep everything culturally correct.

I'll be very disappointed if they make a Japanese version of Lilo and Stitch and market it as Japanese anime.

The pessimist in me see's Disney as a money grabbing corporate company that wants to expand it's sphere of influence and turnover by absorbing animation studios in differeing nations, producing semi-passable tripe and marketing as that nations "home" animation style.
