A New Site for Disney Fans (and Disney Haters)

[Tom Snyder]

A few years ago, Roy Disney had a falling out with the leadership at Disney over where they were headed.  He left and started a site called SaveDisney.com, which provided a sounding board for people who agreed with his disappointment and disatisfaction with the direction Disney was taking under Eisner.

As a result of intense corporate pressure, Roy agreed to make nice with Disney, was offered a powerless, figurehead position back at Disney, and agreed to take the site down.

Tom Hignite (The Miracle Homes guy) has always been a huge Disney fan...to the point of actually hiring a dozen animators to work in his creative department that Disney had let go when 2-D animation fell out of favor there.

So when he learned that SaveDisney.com was going away, he hired my company to build a new site, SavedDisney.com,  to continue where Roy left off. The site launched yesterday, with just news articles and a bunch of forums (using the same forum software we use here). As it grows, it will have lots of new stuff... probably trivia, e-commerce for Disney "Stuff" Collectibles, DVD's, etc., and whatever people request.

But for now, it just needs traffic and posts and some polls in the Forums.

The old site had a HUGE following... the new site will take a while to get up to critical mass.  You guys have helped us accomplish that here, and for those of you who have strong opinions about Disney (and all its divisions), one way or the other, feel free to visit, register for the forums, and help us prime the pump.  

Thanks!
