There has been some great Disney movies, but for the past ten years they have really lacked. I think those of you saying they have always been lame have no appreciation what so ever for the previous artistic talent at Disney. You all state Disney has always been lame because you think you are "cool" or something of that nature.

DUH its a way to make money from kids who liked the first ones.

I HOPE you are not in business.

Are you high? Not one of those three movies were in theaters. They all were straight to video.

It's funny how this whole conversation is based around Pixar, who is no longer with Disney.

I believe they still have one or two more movies they have to put out together. While they don't have another contract, they are still working together.

Walt Disney may have been a good businessman, but he was certainly also an artist who cared about his works. On one level it's just that simple. It was once a company with a heart, and now it's just another company.

I think their next film is the last in the contract. Anyone who've seen the trailer, can you tell me what you think about that movie "cars"? That was the first time I'm not excited about a pixar upcoming feature. It just looks boring. Is it because they were pissed at disney and did a half ass job? I wonder.

Disney old films are a lot better than the crap the have now. I love Lilo and Stitch, but stayed away from disney animation other than pixar as far as I can.

i feel like disney is only still around because of its longstanding association with children's movies...i mean who do you think of first when you think of children's flick?

whats the word for associating a brand name for a product...like kleenex or q-tips...i know that isnt exactly the case here but you get the point...i hope

I love all of Disney's older work, but pretty much everything since they went to computer animated has been junk, more or less.
Beauty and the Beast was ok.

There's just something about the hand drawn movies, CGI has nothing on it.

To see how bad they've gotten, check out the "coming soon" section here. Who is more nuts, Disney or Vin Diesel for the god awful looking "The Pacifier"? Did Vin agree to do this a few movies ago or something? Doesn't look like a good career move. On a related note, the chic from Eurotrip is hot.
