Katzenberg's deranged insistance that his pet project 'Pocahontas'
would be a serious contender for the Best Picture Oscar is more than
enough to assure him a place on this list.
Also, whoever was responsible for 'Mega Man'.

Actually, the only reason we have the Best Animated Feature Oscar is
because of LA voters' still thinking that that Beauty/Beast stunt was
"neato", and kept pushing annoying campaigns to follow up another
Picture nomination for Aladdin, Toy Story 2 and Lion King...
That Katz would try to get his OWN wave started, however, on a movie
that even LA voters wouldn't support, and then ride it, is purely in
character. 9_9

Well, apart from the 1992 debut of the Bruce Tim Batman cartoon, which
kicked off WB's amazing run of superhero shows.

And, with Chicken Little, finally did TO Shrek what they'd been doing to
us for half a decade:
If Dreamworks couldn't finish off hyperactive-gag CGI comedy (and not
that "Bee Movie" sure as heck didn't try), leave it to Stainton-era
Disney to shovel the last dirtful..
And sent said Stainton--along with, ahem, certain OTHER ex-Disney
executives--finding new employment for believing in it.
