Isn't this great, Disney to be first studio to ban smoking in its films?!


Question:

Isn't this great, Disney to be first studio to ban smoking in its films?

I am glad to see that someone has the smarts to realize that there is no point to be made by seeing someone smoking in a movie.

Does it make the movie better? No! Does it make the plot easier to follow? No! Does it make you like the character? No!

Now if only someone would take the truly foul language out of the movies I would probably pay to go see them at the theatre.

I hate the foul language just about as much as I hate the smoking - it doesn't make nor break the movie if both were removed!

What do you think?

Disney (Buena Vista) had the largest market share of any studio in 1998, its movies grossing $1.11 billion (edging out Paramount, despite that studio's "Titanic" success.)
Disney has also found major success recently in the television world.

The studio is currently the second largest provider of prime time TV programming, behind only Warner Bros. In 1995, the Walt Disney Company bought out ABC, the television network which first televised The Wonderful World of Disney. And as of early 2006, ABC is doing great in the ratings, with a string of recent hits such as "Desperate Housewives". "Lost," "Grey's Anatomy," "Dancing with the Stars," "According to Jim," and "Boston Legal". Before this recent streak, previous recent hits included "Home Improvement," "Alias," "Ellen," and "Dharma & Greg".
But it's not all G-rated anymore at Disney. In 1994, their Hollywood Pictures division released "Color of Night," an erotic thriller not exactly in the Disney tradition. And the Disney studio has also acquired Miramax Pictures which released such controversial films as "Pulp Fiction," "Bad Santa," "Kill Bill," "Sirens," "Wings of the Dove," "Priest" and "Kids." Meanwhile, the coming out of ABC's "Ellen" sparked a boycott of Disney by some Southern Baptists before the show was cancelled.
