Edward Mass posted:I'll say this about Eisner - he appeared in the intros for the Wonderful World of Disney when he ran the company, and I'm sure Iger would never do that. This is why I liked Eisner so much as a kid. This right here. He was the (kinda lame) nice man welcoming me to whatever cool movie I was about to watch. AND HE TALKED TO MICKEY! Then I got a bit older and had friends who worked in the parks and I got over that.

I'm not in the industry, but it's kind of insane that animation writers weren't already part of the Writer's Guild of America, right?

There's all sorts of weird limitations like that in the Guild system, roles that should have been covered but leadership didn't want to fight for them or were considered not 'true craftsmen'. Like SAG not incorporating mo cap actors, which is biting them on the rear end with more and more actors doing their own mo cap and finding out since it's a SAG role it doesn't get SAG protection or benefits.

From the link above:quote:WGA is the dominant writers’ union and its contracts cover many high-profile (usually adult) animated shows like The Simpsons, Rick and Morty, and Family Guy.

This theory was soon disproven... every day for the past 80 years."

Timby posted:If anyone wants to know about how Eisner just gradually became more and more unhinged, mercurial, sexist and insane as his Disney tenure went (he really ripped the mask off after Disney president Frank Wells died in 1994), then the book DisneyWar, by James B. Stewart, is essential reading. Just finished reading my current book today so gonna grab this and start it this weekend. Thanks for the rec!

Drunkboxer posted:I had the same thought. So the writers room for the Simpsons was never WGA? Crazy Simpsons writers were Animation Guild until 1998, so a lot of the “golden era” writers got poo poo residuals and (relatively) low pay. IIRC, the other Fox animated shows of that era (Family Guy, The PJ’s, King of the Hill) all banded together to get WGA membership on the heels of the Simpsons. Not a wildcat strike or anything but Fox was faced with the prospect of losing its animated shows right at the time they were trying to turn themselves into an adult animation powerhouse. It’s insane that the studios get to decide if their animated shows are WGA or not. I worked with a writer who was on F is for Family and apparently they were Animation Guild for their first season or two. Under animation guild, this writer was only getting paid like $1200 a week as a staff writer. WGA minimums are like $4k. Meanwhile, Big Mouth was WGA from the start. It’s absolutely crazy that people doing the same work for the same type of show on the same streamer can be sorted into different unions — with drastically different pay scales — and it’s 100% at the discretion of their employer.

Counterproductive to their economic self-interest. Yeah I know, capital always unites against organized labor but movie studios and movie theaters have spent the past century in a "Mortal enemies inexplicably handcuffed to each other" kinda dynamic

Theater chains are probably looking to get bought out by a studio since the laws against that are no more.

I like Stephen Amell, he's just not very bright sometimes. But between this and Katie Cassidy coming out in support of RFK Jr., yeesh. edit: I wonder if he is just mad because his show is on the bubble and thought he'd get to advertise it?

I'm sure Amell is pissed he can't promote Heels, since it's definitely a passion project of his. It's also on loving Starz so I have to imagine it could be cancelled at any moment and he's doing everything he can to try and increase viewership and the strike is 100% going to gently caress with that. But what a loving moron, he's just tanked a ton of good will and probably doomed the show anyway.
