That does change the dynamic of this in that it wasn't just a here it is and we're done, it was a here it is and anything in the future we will take care of you agreement. Being that it is Live Action, but still completely based on the original contracted content... means Disney can not pay them a dime and there is nothing they can do about it.

So they DID put the future pay in their contracts thinking they were taking care of themselves and protecting themselves, but the whole 'live action' loop hole thing wasn't even brought to light until they went to Disney saying What the hell where is our compensation!?!? And Disney replied like the guy from Jurassic park, Nuh uh uh, you didn't say the magic LIVE ACTION word.

For instance, for the Aladdin animated sequels, they were given compensation.

I don't care enough to argue it, I just wanted to make sure that point was clarified. I still love Disney and will continue to gobble up anything they put in front of me.

Wow...that is Evil.

Brilliant....but ultimately evil.

Was Disney's Lawyer Al Pacino from 'The Devil's Advocate?'
