Last year, his gambles paid off handsomely Disney ruled animation through much of the 1990s with hits such as "The Lion King" and "Beauty and the Beast " "We're certainly not interested in destroying value or destroying these franchises," Cook said in Orlando The bar is awfully high " The division also produced expensive flops such as "Atlantis" and "Treasure Planet," along with modest successes such as "Lilo & Stitch" and "Brother Bear Over the past five years, Pixar has contributed more than half of Disney's studio profits, financial analysts say Cook's most immediate and daunting task is to find a way to replace the revenue generated by Pixar Disney is facing the end of its lucrative partnership with Pixar Animation Studios in two years Pixar chief Steve Jobs recently ended 10 months of negotiations for a new deal, singling out Disney's animated films for harsh criticism " Cook joined the motion picture group in 1980 as an assistant domestic sales manager, and in 1988 became head of distribution It will become a competitor when it finds a new studio to join Everyone has an opinion "And we're going to be successful or we're going to fail based on the product," he said "For us, it's trying to keep the momentum going and just keep working In 1995, he shut down the Great Lawn in New York's Central Park for the premiere of "Pocahontas He said he isn't being distracted by recent events "We think they've got a long, long life for years and years to come and some of the greatest characters that have been developed in the last decade " Cook said he is confident Disney still knows how to make animated hits and that it will succeed in making sequels to the Pixar films it continues to own, such as "Toy Story On Feb "Everytime you put the name on a film, it means something The sequels are produced at an average cost of $20 million to $30 million by DisneyToon Studios, using less expensive labor in places such as Australia made an unsolicited bid for Disney, saying one of its main goals would be to reinvigorate the company's flagging in-house animation efforts It's a charge quickly refuted by Dick Cook, chairman of Walt Disney Studios since 2002 Meanwhile, Disney has cut its own animation staff from a high of 2,200 in 1999 to about 600 and closed satellite animation studios in Paris, Tokyo and Orlando, Fla " As head of the studio division, Cook is perhaps the most critical player in Disney's defensive strategy disney Pixar has two films left to deliver on its current contract â€â€? "The Incredibles," this year and "Cars" in 2005 " That kind of praise has been fed by the successes of Cook's division in 2003, when it took in $3 billion at box offices worldwide, the first time any studio reached that level A theatrical animated feature, such as last year's hand-drawn "Brother Bear," costs about $80 million or more to produce Cook's success comes from producing a mix of big-budget, high profile films with smaller, less costly movies com</p > " Cook, 53, has been immersed in Disney his entire adult life, having begun his career in 1970 as a steam train operator at Disneyland Disney, son of company co-founder Roy O "We have been and always will be committed to creating the finest animation in the world," he said during a recent gathering of financial analysts in Orlando â€â€?â€â€?â€â€? www "Michael (Eisner) has been very clear with all of us and certainly with me that the best thing we can do at this time is perform at the highest levels," Cook said A second strategy Disney pioneered is making direct-to-video sequels, especially of animated films Disney's board rejected the bid, saying it would consider other bids while expressing strong support for current management "He has a mature judgment Huge profits also came from inexpensive films, such as "Freaky Friday" and "Holes" that were box office surprises "I think we have more great projects, both in live action and animation, than we have had in years under attack from former board members, a former partner and a company that wants to buy it, one of the complaints is that Disney has lost its creative spark, especially when it comes to the animated films that are its heritage The struggling animation unit also is cited by disgruntled former board members Stanley Gold and Roy E "I think creativity at our studio has never been more on the upswing," Cook said 11, cable TV giant Comcast Corp Disney, in their efforts to oust chief executive Michael Eisner " As studio chief, he has nurtured relationships with filmmakers such as Jerry Bruckheimer and M He also has attracted new directors and actors to Disney, including Wes Anderson, director of 2001's "The Royal Tenenbaums," and this year's "Life Aquatic," starring Bill Murray "I think he is a first-rate executive, and it would be my hope that in future years he would have a greater role in the company," Gold said Cook understands that ultimately, Disney as a company will be judged based on the films it turns out You want to be able to go over that bar," he said Now it is up to the mild-mannered Cook â€â€? so mild-mannered he frequently uses the word "gosh" â€â€? to continue the company's success with live-action films and direct-to-video sequels while revamping the company's stumbling animation department Cook, however, has so far escaped the critics' wrath Night Shyamalan Time will tell if he is right "These jobs are like being a baseball manager," he said "Everyone wants to be one In 1994, he assumed control of film marketing and became known for his large-scale movie premieres Disney Says It's Not Losing Creative Edge Feb 22, 9:47 AM EST With the Walt Disney Co It also cut the cost of making an animated film in half since 1998 and, for the first time, has no traditional hand-drawn animated films in production But Disney also had the hit "Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl," which sold $304 million in tickets Yet Cook said Disney is not surrendering in the animation business Part of that success was due to the Pixar film "Finding Nemo," which sold $340 million worth of tickets in 2003 The son of a British naval officer, Palmer was a member of several British rock bands before he hit the big time as a solo artist " Top 10 hits, including "Communication" and "Get it On Rock Singer Robert Palmer Dies at Age 54 Sep 26, 7:31 AM EST Rock singer Robert Palmer died Friday in Paris of a heart attack, his manager said " He had lived in Switzerland for the past 16 years He was 54 "I couldn't see the point of getting up in front of a lot of people when you weren't in control of your wits "I'm not going to attach inappropriate significance to it because at the time it meant nothing Palmer once confessed that he was not attracted to the excesses of rock 'n' roll stardom " He was noted for dressing up and being somewhat restrained "I don't want to be heavy," he said in an interview with Rolling Stone magazine In his 20s, Palmer worked with a number of small-time bands including Dada, Vinegar Joe, and the Alan Bown Band, occasionally appearing in opening acts for big draw including The Who and Jimi Hendrix "I can't think of another attitude to have toward an audience than a hopeful and a positive one Known for his sharp suits and GQ sense of style, Palmer was named best dressed male artist by Rolling Stone in 1990 He had his first hit album and single, "Sneakin' Sally through the Alley," in 1974 A side project, Power Station, formed in 1985 with John Taylor and Andy Taylor of '80s supergroup Duran Duran, scored three U "I loved the music, but the excesses of rock 'n' roll never really appealed to me at all," he said S In the 1980s he became a superstar with singles which also included "Simply Irresistible" â€â€? accompanied by slick videos featuring the sharply dressed Palmer and a bevy of attractive women It's just happened to become an iconic look," Palmer once said of the video Palmer, whose hits included "Addicted to Love," was on a two-day break in Paris following a TV recording session in Britain, Cater said Manager Mick Cater, speaking from Paris, said he had no further details immediately And if that includes such unfashionable things as sentimentality, well, I can afford it The "Addicted to Love" video, with its miniskirted models strumming guitars as Palmer sang, became one of MTV's most-played clips, and sparked protests from some feminists |
