Maybe that's what they mean by Disney has "struggled with its own strategy for animation". :D

Animation is only really a small part of Disneys' income, though.  Their parent corp. owns a bunch of crap, like American TV stations, movie studiios, etc.

Odd are Disney will either buy up a 3d studio, or form their own.  Mehtinks they'd be wary of another partnership when they can;t be 'superior' partners.

Ouch!

So the only films Disney will release now are live-action and the Miyazaki stuff? Nasty....

No, they'll start doing their own 3D stuff.
And Miyazaki stuff are better than Disney stuff on any regard, btw.

Disney still have things like Pirates Of the Caribbean 2 to rake in cash with.

*grind grind grind*

That's Walt doing 75 rpm in his grave.

Disney as a force in the animated entertainment industry is likely hosed after this.  Eisner, my friend, you have *#^$ed up severely.

Except that he's not really in a grave. Eisner's whole plan is based around the fact that his ice dispenser broke and Walt doing revolutions in his fridge has pretty much the same effect. :)
