Interesting quote from CNN

[WDWHound]

I found the following CNN quote interesting for who they didn't mention:

"DreamWorks Animation's initial public offering, which raised $812 million and started trading Thursday at 39 percent above the offering price, showed Hollywood that there is space for another animation studio besides industry leader Pixar Animation Studios. "

"I don't think it is a one-company industry," said Dennis McAlpine, an independent media stock analyst. "There's room for both DreamWorks and Pixar to thrive."

"What about a third player? "That," said McAlpine, "will be hard."

Notice that Disney is not mentioned. That would make them a third player, wouldn't it? Hmmmmm.

Whoever thought that Disney's name would not appear in a quote talking about the top players in a new type of animation? Disney gets one quick mention later on in the story (for Chicken Little), but thats it. The main focus is on Pixar and Dreamworks.

Here is a link to the full story:

Isn't that ironic coming from CNN right on the heels of announcing today that CNNfn couldn't compete so they are shutting it down?

Hmmm...
