Disney, arguably more than any other media company, has the greates given potential to deliver directors, designers, animators and other creative talent that can shape these venues in ways that will have them rivaling television and film. The "audience of one" is so much larger and so much more lucrative than the theatre going public or even the average cable subscribing household. It almost begs the question of whether Pixar's potential sale is actually a good thing or a foolish one on the part of Mr. Jobs. Robert Iger has a chance to do something now that Mr. Eisner before him did not, and that no other media CEO has managed - a smooth, forward thinking, fully committed approach to shaking up the way audience think of entertainment and how,where, when and for what price they receive it. Great job, Vince. MORE!
