If you look at their history, at least cartoon wise, they haven't had any real hits since the 50's. 60's and 70's were filled with bad cartoons that nobody remembers, and the only reason the company stayed afloat is because corporate greed triumphed in the 80's and they opened several more Disney Worlds worldwide. But they didn't actually invest that money in cartoons, just more merchandise. They had a brief, but good renaissance period in the early 90's, but after that they went straight into the ground. Although they now produce many cartoons, they're all terrible, with very unoriginal plots and cliched characters (Pixar movies being an exception). Instead of wasting time and money with their "original" ideas, they should stick to what they did best - do animated covers of classic storybooks. That always got them good audiences and a good reputation and it might bail their asses out now, but only if they get their heads out of their asses first and realize that their traditional prestige is going down faster then Paris Hilton in a tour bus.
