Miyazaki's Future w/ Disney

An anonymous reader sent us an interesting little article about Miyazaki and Disney. Disney of course owns the rights to distribute his films (like to pick a gigantic example Princess Mononoke) to worldwide audiences. Apparently lackluster profits from Mononoke may jeopradize future Miyazaki titles release in the US, which would be terribly unfortunate considering that in the end, the DVD release of Mononoke was absolutely wonderful (although its a somewhat dark film for Mouse) This is all tied to Spirited Away, his latest film which is apparently doing great things at the Japanese Box Office.

maybe elektra knows DT's shitty glam-rock vocals don't cut it :)

I love DT but face it ... they're dinosaurs. People are ready to feel good about themselves again and *thats* why DT isn't on the top of anyones list.

However, what might be undestated is that advertising will make *anything* sell. At large the american public are sheep that will buy what they're show.

More Disney Antics?

What phallic symbols will we see in this Disney rendition of a "classic"? Penis swords? Vagina shields? Brick configurations that spell sex?
