Behind the Screens: Hollywood goes Hypercommercial 4 of 5

Liberal leaning but not in the sense your imagining. Free-market doesn't come into the equation but rather democracy within the political system which from their point of view is inexistent to a degree due to media monopolies.

[Hudsucker94]

I'm curious, these people they interview in the video, are they more conservative or liberal leaning?

The logic is wrong at one point. If Disney's movie does not do well at the box office then how can the company still make $500 million through mechandising, etc? That $500 million is dependent on the success of the film so if the film does not do well Disney will not make that $500 million.

@pfeiffer101 It's not entirely dependent. By adding more to the "Disney Princesses" they can charge more for Disney Princess items because there are more characters, and they're sold as the group of the Disney Princesses. They can also sell compilation sound tracks, and get money from the less successful movies by making people buy them with more successful products.

In comparing Dreamworks to Disney, here's this: Aladdin was a decent musical romp, but the Prince of Egypt was an epic animated masterpiece.

Aladdin was made earlier before Prince of Egypt

[Duvmasta]

I think you're trying to compare Dreamworks to Paramount.

[oHelmslyo]

I sure am, my friend. Michael Eisner has nothing on Walt Disney.
