Several times over the past few months I have returned to a blog written by a Disney die-hard named Jim Hill. Not only is he fascinated by all things Disney (I'm talking the company, not the princesses), but he also seems to have some very interesting sources when it comes to breaking news about the company.Two recent articles are a perfect example of how fascinating his blog can be:
- In the first, Jim talks (and speculates convincingly) about Disney's plans to continue and expand on their film franchises of National Treasure and Pirates of the Caribbean. While much of this article is unofficial, it's at least very interesting, especially for fans of those franchises and/or fans of Disney parks.
- In the second, Jim gives a fascinating history of how Pixar's Finding Nemo almost became a notorious flop (and how Pixar turned it around). Jim mixes in interesting details about the making of this classic with some of the politics that existed during Michael Eisner's reign at Disney.

Thank you for pointing this blog out to me. I NEED this!
FYI-- Pete's dad was asked to work on "Finding Nemo" during it's production. He, unfortunately, (and fortunately) was busy working on the Nauvoo temple murals at the time, and was unable to accept the offer. Would have been pretty cool!
Thanks Jay, that was interesting. PS - I'm not really interested in a Pirates without Will!
