And then they'd look at their park maps and realize they just paid four times as much as they did in 1990 to see a park that doesn't impress them like it used to. That's the bad kind of nostalgia from Di$ney's perspective.

At least I was able to get my hands on them before the plug gets pulled. "Would You Eat a Blue Potato?" gets my vote as one of the strangest educational videos I've ever seen. I don't know whether this ultimately helped or hurt kids' attitudes toward diet. Scary stuff.

Daycare center murals are bad, but leeches making a living by selling Disney's intellectual property instead of getting real jobs are OK? And it isn't like Disney isn't aware of what's happening. Sites like this one advertise and sell many 'fan made' videos/DVDs of old attractions, parades and construction walls. I am generally not one to come down on the side of a large souless corporation such as Disney. But as a creative Spirit myself, I well know the importance of insuring your creative content isn't borrowed/used/stolen by others. I understand there's a market out there for materials like this, but Disney should be providing it. If not, they shouldn't allow others to so because it weakens copyright and intellectual prop rights for all of us. But if someone wants to see a DVD of 'Spirited Disney Dining Across the Pond', please send me checks for $39.99!

He despises both Wishes and my ambition to get into Law so that should leave him quite thrilled with me.>> He's back. And he doesn't despise Wishes. He just doesn't have much fondness for it. And Disney lawyers are no different than others. They aren't even all bad. I met a nice one recently. But I am of the firm belief that lawyers are generally vile and work toward making sure there isn't justice for anyone but the wealthiest and Big Business. Oh well, I guess my holiday is over! :-(

But it's also likely a way to make a living without working too!

I'll turn up the heat when I get a chance! ;-)

Originally Posted By danyoung >I dunno who the person is, but I am looking at an ad for a Jeff Lange DVD of the MSEP on this page as I type this.< I think Jeff is better at using mostly home video and photography, although a video of IllumiNations still uses the copyrighted music. But EAC is pretty blatant at pulling old Disney tv shows, transferring off of old VHS tapes. And there's the big problem.
