Anyone wanna translate? Seriously, what the hell's he talking
about? Maybe these are terms only ultra-industry-insiders are
suppossed to know? Funny how he cut the part where I point out Pixar
being the only reason Disney's had any success the last few years . .
. well, Studio Ghibli too . . .

As pointed out, they learned their lesson with Enchanted, and are
finally following the "Shrek Route"; I guess sucking on the Dreamworks
tailpipe is one way to learn . . .
