EA As The Next Disney

ducomputergeek writes "There is an article over at Business2.0.com about how EA may just surpass Disney as the number #1 media company in the world. Considering that EA has turned out some great games over the years, including Wing Commander, many sports games for consoles, and the SIMS, it wouldn't surprise me."

    I agree with the earlier-stated opinion that modern disney is really putting out garbage compared to some of their earlier classic works.

    This snow dogs movie is a good example... except that the more I thought about it, I started to remember all those real weak Disney live-action movies featuring Kurt Russell. Then they had those shaggy da movies. You might remember. They basically would crank out these movies based on an absurd premise and then have some character running around freaking out with trying to manage this absurd situation.

    The thing I guess I'm criticizing is that their big animation films also seem weak compared to their previous animated big-seller classics. Like what's up with that new one with the pirate ship that travels through space? Ninja, please!
