Is Disney losing the rights to Mickey Mouse?
As Mickey turns 80 this fall, the most beloved rodent in show business is widely regarded as a national treasure. But he is owned lock, stock and trademark ears by the corporate heirs of his genius creator, Walt Disney.
All signs pointed to a Hollywood ending with Disney and Mickey Mouse living happily ever after -- at least until a grumpy former employee looked closely at fine print long forgotten in company archives.
Film credits from the 1920s revealed imprecision in copyright claims that some experts say could invalidate Disney's long-held copyright. As Mickey turns 80 this fall, the most beloved rodent in show business is widely regarded as a national treasure. But he is owned lock... more -
Farmer grows potato that resembles Mickey Mouse
It's an exciting day for secular fans of vegetables that resemble things. Now they can have a potato that resembles something other than the Virgin Mary. I hope Disney makes a movie about this.

L'ombra del razzismo sull'ultima star Disney
Sott'accusa Maddy, protagonista di “The Frog Princess”. Ricorda troppo gli anni della schiavitù, gli sceneggiatori modificano la trama. La storia della principessa nera era ambientata a New Orleans nel 1920, dove Maddy, una cameriera di colore al servizio di una viziata debuttante bianca, viene aiutata da una sacerdotessa woodoo a conquistare un giovane principe ariano, in un Paese che dai tempi degli indiani non ha mai avuto una monarchia.
Secondo i critici che hanno costretto la Disney a rivedere i suoi piani, il nome Maddy ricordava troppo quello delle «Mammy», le adorabili, grassissime bambinaie nere del profondo Sud e di Via col vento. Anche il ruolo di cameriera di una despota, perfetto per Cenerentola, non andava bene per una protagonista di colore e avrebbe ricordato troppo i tempi della schiavitù che hanno preceduto la Guerra di Secessione.

Propaganda
During WWII, Walt Disney made some propaganda shorts about the war. This Disney Cartoon is about taxes.The cartoon is called "The Spirit of 43".
In this cartoon Donald Duck plays the part of a draft dodger. Instead of fighting for his country he's back home doing his part as a factory worker, a job that millions of women were sufficiently able and lined up to do. Donald gets paid, then the narrator briefly explains the duality of the common factory worker duck. Donald Duck plays both sides for Nazis and Americans. He is in a debate on how to use his payday money. He has two personalities. Save the money for taxes (this side, the cartoon character reminds me of Uncle Scrooge), the other is a zoot-suit wearing Donald. He wanted him to spend his money at a club.

Warner Bros. to Only Sell Blu-Ray Discs
In a move that could tip the balance of power in a format war over the next-generation of DVDs, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. Entertainment said it plans to release high-definition movies exclusively in the Blu-ray format, in the process dealing a major blow to rival HD DVD.
The move means the rival HD DVD format, which is backed by Toshiba Corp., will be left with support from just two major studios: Universal Pictures and Viacom Inc.'s Paramount Pictures. The other major studios ? Warner Bros., Sony Corp., Walt Disney Co., News Corp.'s Twentieth Century Fox? are committed to Blu-ray exclusively. The two formats are incompatible, meaning that buyers of HD DVD players cannot play movies issued in Blu-ray, and vice versa. In a move that could tip the balance of power in a format war over the next-generation of DVDs, Time Warner Inc.'s Warner Bros. E... more -

Walt Disney's Secret Hideaway at Disneyland
Once, as an executive at Disney, we got a VIP "backstage" tour of Disneyland, that included a walk through this space, which I had always heard about and been curious about. It sounded so friggin' cool. Well in reality, it was very small, and a bit of a dump. Sort of kitschy faux-Victorian-early-century-American-spartan-apartment-above-the-store. Even as a teenager walking by the place, it seemed like the coolest thing imaginable, so it was sort of sad and disappointing to finally have my curiousity satisfied. But Walt Disney--that was a cool guy, the real deal, who really got it. And if he liked it up there, good for him. What I would have given to have a grilled cheese sandwich up there with him, and talk about his amazing dream-come-true.
