This was one of the two commercials that led Steven Spielberg to have Williams’s studio do the animation for Roger Rabbit, the other being a Fanta ad with Mickey Mouse in which filters and lighting effects were added to make the animated characters match the live-action footage.

Adding Richard Williams and his bud Roger Rabbit winning an Oscar.

Oakland fans should always remember this: no matter where the team ends up, their fight to keep it helped spark a new conversation—one that challenges the practice of abandoning the communities that built it.

Holy shit. @BernieSanders and @RepCasar just introduced The Home Team Act, a bill that would “Require team owners who want to relocate to first offer local owners the chance to buy it." This would have saved the A’s. Full stop. It would help prevent owners from "uprooting teams that people have rooted for for generations. No more extorting taxpayers for billions." (Casar.) It would prevent owners from "blackmailing one community against another for multi-billion-dollar subsidies." (Sanders.) It goes without saying this is needed. “Nearly every major city in the nation [has been] asked to mortgage its future to the sports industry," @fieldofschemes has written. If I may. The relationship between sports fans and the sports business has been broken ever since the Supreme Court gave MLB an antitrust exemption in 1922. Multiple Supreme Court justices have criticized the ruling as “unrealistic, inconsistent, and illogical.” The ruling stemmed from a whimsical interpretation of professional sports as a fundamentally communal, rather than capitalistic, enterprise. In practice the exemption merely grants team owners license to run their teams in the most ruthlessly capitalistic ways possible. “The major leagues” Kevin Baker has written, “remain to this day the most complete and enduring cartel in American history.” But it hasn't ever been addressed. In America, owners get to have it both ways. They're permitted to run their businesses like robber barons. The sports industry is insulated from both government regulation and free-market competition. Fans and cities possess no power or protection. This bill would give them some. Hell ya. It's also not that ridiculous at all. A version of this law already exists in Ohio. Lawmakers passed it after Art Modell moved the Browns, to protect fans in the state from ever having to go through that kind of thing again. Stronger versions of this sort of thing exist in Europe. In 2025, England passed the Football Governance Act, a regulatory framework designed, in the language of the law, “to protect and promote the sustainability of English football.” The law mandates team owners and league executives regularly consult with fan representatives on all matters relevant to fan interests. And it empowers an Independent Football Regulator (IFR) to evaluate the potential impact of all proposed changes by an owner to his or her club on fans and community members and to strike down those changes found not to be in fans’ interests. These include changes to a club’s name, crest, and, most fundamentally, its home. Versions of this sort of thing have been batted about by US lawmakers before. Most have not been given much attention. I hope this time it's different. It's too late to save the A’s. But I hope it passes so that no other fans have to suffer the indignities fans suffered here. So that sports work better for future fans like my sons.

@ogorangebird Put Kim Irvine next to Goldberg and Egan.

Today, @SenSanders and I introduced the Home Team Act. Too often, billionaire sports team owners are getting richer while fans and taxpayers get screwed. Our bill requires team owners to offer locals the chance to buy a team before moving it away.

With the soulless Harry Potter HBO revival, I am reminded of what Ursula Le Guin said about JK Rowling: “Stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited”

@DreamfinderGuy @OrangeGrove55 Maybe this the deal they made to get him to leave.

@OrangeGrove55 That’s the crazier part, he hasn’t even left the company yet, has he?

I think Michael Eisner should have gotten a Disney Legends aware before Iger. imho. Wild to me he is getting one less than a year from leaving the company.

This is what needs to happen immediately after the No Kings protest for it to be most effective

how smart to make it look terrible on purpose to appeal to their target demographic of idiots with no taste

The Onion still being in business is a god damn miracle man

@ogorangebird I could be wrong but from what I’ve seen most fans are correctly attributed this to Iger since these were his deals. Possibly because people actually like Josh. Even before Chapek took over as CEO he was universally disliked by park fans.

Justice for the Expedition Everest Eagle! This figure used to fly into view once riders got to the top of the mountain. It was a simple effect that left an impact on most and should be easy to fix! They still use the sound effect but the eagle hasn’t been spotted for years! 🦅🏔️

@GShaneMorris Rather than adapt to Hollywood’s culture of risk taking, these executives are trying to change it to where it suits them. They need to know they’re in the wrong industry.

The saddest part about Disney's "live-action" remakes isn't that they're bland and cynical cash grabs by safety-obsessed executives out of good ideas. It's that the good ideas--the Lion Kings, Hunchbacks, and Aladdins of today--are still being pitched. They're just voted down.

@FrshBakedDisney Honestly, if Chapek didn’t cut so much of the interactive elements from Imagineering’s original plans it would’ve been hailed as a masterpiece of theme park design.

On the one hand...what a terrible decision to ignore the original trilogy. But on the other hand...I don't think I'd want a desert themed land. All sun. No trees. No shade. Dirt and rock everywhere. Batuu is actually a fairly nice blend of environments. It just needed the OT.

There are a ridiculous amount of professions that obviously should’ve been kept to master/apprentice learning methods rather than transferred to the university structure.

@APPictures9 Really hoping this is that final nail in the coffin for Disney live action remakes. Since Dana Walden has already pulled the plug on several other remakes that were in development, let’s give her a good reason to pull the plug on even more.

Not expecting this to hit a billion honestly. Moana, being less than a decade old, lacks the nostalgia that the Disney Renaissance remakes or Lilo & Stitch had. And unlike Stitch, there are big options for kids besides this: Toy Story 5 and Minions 3. I predict Mufasa numbers.
