It's not about you. Five comments on this post are enough. Please let others have their say too.

"He produced half of the top 10 animated films of all time, including the most successful 2D animated film in history, and the most successful 3D animated film in history." I don't care how much money they make, that still dosen't change my opinion of them and I think everything he has produced is crap with a capital C. "Dreamworks Animation has made the Forbes list of 100 Best Companies to Work in 2009, most attribute this to the way Katzenberg is treating his artists today. Also, never underestimate the power of a great wrap party." Well that's great for the people who want to work there, I don't want to. Ethan, I was going to stop but you insist on prattling on.

Katzenberg has been president of an animation studio longer than anyone alive today.

This business is also very different than it was 15 years ago, and it's also a factor that he now works for himself instead of for someone else. So yeah, he's very frank but he doesn't "bash". My experience. I won't keep posting about this, but it's just so old, so tiresome to see the baseless invective again & again. Look, the man isn't my buddy and he's not anyone's definition of warm and fuzzy: but he's also a)put his money and career where his mouth is and b)always treated me and the rest of my crew with real respect, which is worth a lot in my daily working life. It doesn't happen everywhere. Well Dave G, people really do change; they grow older, mellow out even-and Jeffrey certainly has.

I already admitted Katzenberg as a Disney of his time but he dosen't have any sort of artist's vision which guided Disney during his peak. He is the least deserving of the three being honored and should be looked down upon not only dragging Disney films into the sterile musical formula but the even more lackluster CGI Dreamworks pictures.
