I'm not especially fond of Mr. Magoo and I'm certainly not fond of the Dick Tracy cartoons (except for those wacky Asian stereotyopes, Cholly and Joe Jitsu, who taught America how to laugh -- at minorities), but when Disney's employees broke away to become UPA it reminded WDP that there was competition, as did the Don Bluth unit in the early 80s.
If Disney features are now to be reduced to sleazy Eddie Murphy dragon cartoons then perhaps it needs another kick in the ass.
Well at least you have to admit Eddie Murphy is not an offensive
