Spirited Away Still Has a Chance

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the moving-picture dept.

Dean Siren writes "Disney chairman Richard W. Cook says that they've budgeted to market Spirited Away in up to 1,000 North American theaters, and if the Oscars endorse it as much as Metacritic has, Disney will launch it. They'll spend the same time and money promoting Spirited Away for Academy Awards as they will Lilo & Stitch and Treasure Planet. Cook hopes that it will win not only Best Animated Film, but get nominated for Best Picture, as Beauty and the Beast got in 1991. Thanks to Jack Mathews at New York Daily News for getting Cook to explain."

  1. This movie is made by Disney ... by dpt · · Score: 0, Troll

    ... and don't we hate them, or something?

    On top of that the movie's site is Flash only, which is retarded and lame by definition.

    Holy cow. You know not of what you speak. Disney is the prime offender of our rights. Yes, even stealing music and movies from online P2P networks is a right, and it's being infringed by the likes of Disney, Bertelsman, Tomy, Sony, and MGM. When they buy off a senator like Hollings (D: is for Disney), they are buying their agenda.

    If you support Disney, you support slavery. Music and movies are intangible things. Do you think you should be restricted from singing in the shower?

    Get with it, dumbfuck. Disney isn't interested in anything but making a buck (or stealing a yen, in this case). Perhaps you'd support dumping chemical waste into your neighborhood's watershed?
