In their 12th annual study of over 30,000 people regarding BUSINESS REPUTATIONS AND PUBLIC PERCEPTION, Google ranked first.
What exactly is “business reputation”? That’s what the public views as social responsibility, emotional appeal, quality of the product, financial performance, and other touchy-feely elements that could lead an individual investor to put some money into a company’s stock.
We’ve all seen films that, for various reasons, we thought kinda stunk.
Still, many of these so-called bad films still did fairly well at the box office – and in Hollywood, doing well at the box office tends to erase any memories of a film’s actual quality.
But what about the films that did poorly at the box office? By now, you’ve probably heard about the film ZYZZYX ROAD that infamously only made $30 total at the box office.
As you’ll see by this list of THE TOP 15 BIGGEST BOX OFFICE BOMBS, making just $30 is sometimes all you need to be considered a hit – click the link for the financial details:

If you’ve ever wanted to work in the animation industry, whether it be for Disney or other cartoon-oriented companies, getting your own animation desk is almost always the first thing on an aspiring artist’s wish list.
While it’s not a usable version, you may want to check out this piece of swag sent to Web Watch from the fine folks at Walt Disney Animation Studios.
Disney animator’s desk, assembled
Sure, it might be made of cardstock, but it’s the perfect item to assemble and use as inspiration while you work hard and try to achieve your dream job.
Walt Disney Animation Studios Desk model sheet
The text on the sheet reads:
WALT DISNEY ART OF ANIMATION
From pencils to pixels, and digits to digital, we celebrate our pioneers, artists, and storytellers, and look ahead to a rich slate of exciting new projects covering a wide spectrum of styles and subjects. The Disney drawing desk has been the starting point for some of our greatest stories, worlds and characters. This model symbolizes our proud heritage, and marks the Studio’s continued goal of telling great stories using a wide range of styles and techniques
The Disney Queue Line Survival Guidebook
Web Watch never get bored while waiting on line for a Disney theme park attraction.
The detailed queues, interactive distractions, background music, park smells – the general happiness that permeates the Disney parks are designed to distract you from even thinking that you’ve been waiting in line for 2 hours to ride Toy Story Mania.
Okay – maybe waiting two hours for a 3-minute ride isn’t exactly a good use of anyone’s time, and definitely showcases the largest problem with the use of FastPass (but we digress, as we’re not going to talk about the pros/cons of FastPass today).
No, today we’re going to highlight the dark side of the Disney Park experience: the “gotta go, gotta go” mentality that pushes a family to Do Everything, Because It’s an Expensive Disney Trip, Dammit.

It’s a completely legitimate question, especially as Pixar continues its stellar run of high-quality animated entertainment.
There’s a reason why TOY STORY 3 is nominated for Best Picture this year. There’s a reason why UP was nominated for Best Picture last year. There’s a reason why WALL-E‘s lack of a Best Picture nomination forced the Academy to increase the number of eligible Best Picture nominees from five to 10, thus ensuring that there would be 5 more chances for an animated film to lose any chance of ever winning a Best Picture award of its own outside of the animation categories.

By now, Web Watch hopes that you’ve seen Disney/Pixar’s UP.
Hopefully, you’ve shown it to your parents. If you haven’t, and have had difficulty explaining to your parents why they should want to watch an animated film, perhaps you should show them this PREMAKE, a movie trailer using old video clips done in a style as if the new film had been made decades ago.
Perhaps it’s a bit hard to explain. It’s what the trailers would look like if these films had been made in the 1950’s. Does that make sense?
Why don’t you watch this clip and you’ll see what we mean:

SNOW WHITE’S SCARY ADVENTURES is a classic Disney dark ride in Fantasyland, one of the original rides at both Disneyland in California and at Walt Disney World.
Go out and ride the Walt Disney World version of the ride while you can, because it is going the way of Mr Toad’s Wild Ride. That is, Disney is ripping the ride out to make way for a Disney Princess meet-and-greet.
What?
Web Watch will break this down for you, summing up what other websites have already said: Walt Disney World is currently in the middle of a long-awaited (and much needed) multi-million dollar expansion of Fantasyland, originally with the following changes:
