Silver Screen Partners

Post by bennyb98 »

Can any one provide me with information on the Silver Screen Partners?? All I know is that they helped produce some late 80s/early 90s Disney movies but other than that I can’t find any information on the organization.

THANKS

Well there doesn't seem to be much info, you're right, but here are the filmographies for the company:

I'm only guessing. But I guess Disney was in so much financial difficulties at the time (remember, they initially employed Eisner to fight off a hostile takeover attempt, and perhaps more than one) that they needed extra funding to make the movies.

You're right that they helped fund Disney and Touchstone movies through the '80s and early '90s. Don't know much else about Silver Screen Partners except that among their company was George W. Bush, the current president of the United States. I guess once Disney began hitting it big again with <i>Three Men and a Baby</i>, <i>Good Morning, Vietnam</i>, <i>Who Framed Roger Rabbit</i>, <i>Honey, I Shrunk the Kids</i>, <i>The Little Mermaid</i>, <i>Pretty Woman</i>, <i>Beauty and the Beast</i>, etc....they probably didn't need the Silver Screen funding anymore.

It seems like the Silver Screen Partners got together after Eisner/Katzenberg came to Disney so it does make sense they would do this for financial reasons to try and save Disney from dying like Orion for instance.

'The Black Cauldron' had an overblown budget and was reedited to try and save the film so I'm guessing they realised the current group at the time couldn't really budget things, money was tight and that's how the Silver Screen Partners came to be.

I read something a while ago about this but it wasn't online. Maybe I'll look into it when I get a chance. :)

Okay here's something to read...

There's a tiny bit of nudity on the site, one picture of Lolita Davidovich but I doubt anyone here would be that easily offended!
