Matt: Why be so hard on old Walt? People that I've talked to that knew him speak highly of him. An actor friend-of-mine that was a child star working for Disney told me a story: He and several of his friends were invited to the studio to see an early rough-cut of "Mary Poppins." Walt invited them because he wanted to get the opinions of kids. After the screening he asked for their input. Many of them complained there wasn't any animated characters like Mickey or Goofy. As the story goes, Walt grabbed his creative team together in the small screening room and said something like, "I want some dancing ducks there. Give me some dancing ducks." Sure the company is much different now, but all the studios have had to change. There was a cartoon in one of the trade papers recently showing a "homeless person" holding a hand lettered sign that read, "Will work for Disney." J. Thomas
