No, Look Over Here

David Poland once again delivering an insightful roundup on Disney's current negotiating woes over at The Hot Blog. He mostly successfully argues that most of the dire press coming from both camps is positioning play and that until something else is announced for either Pixar or Miramax, there is still a deal to be made.

While I would agree with his general assessment, if the offer to Bob Weinstein was as bad as both sides seem to admit and no sweeteners are going to Pixar, he's probably wrong. DreamWorks has demonstrated that there are other studios good at family animation marketing, and Disney would be hard pressed to make Miramax movies (the small ones of the golden days) without the Weinsteins.
