The mismanagement of Disney has really harmed the company by allowing
the talent to flow out and create success elsewhere. All these Fox,
Dreamworks, and Pixar computer animation features are spearheaded by
ex-Disney people, but Disney itself has been incapable of launching a
computer animation division thus far. The computer animation "nine old
men" are outside the company this time, because of mismanagement's
inability to develop relationships. It will be interesting if Disney,
the company that has been traditionally dominant in animation, does the
first computer animation failure, at a time when everyone else can only
succeed spectacularly.
