Newsweek has an article on Disney’s financial problems and how management is approaching them, and Cory Doctorow has some intersetig ideas on how Disney could turn things around.
Anywhere, here’s my grand plan on how Disney can stop mismanaging its licensed properties. Everyone at the company should be forced to sit and watch Piglet’s Big Movie.

Plus, it is a perfect example of just how badly Disney has mismanaged what should be a killer franchise.
Like everything else, though, they’ve just run Pooh through the corporate meat grinder until the characters are indistinguishable from every other product line geared toward younger kids.
