Blame Eisner

Post by Uncle Remus »

while i was searching on the internet, i was suprised to find that one of my favorite actors, Robin Williams sang a song at the 2000 Academy Awards. Williams sang a cleaner version of the song "Blame Canada" from the movie South Park: Bigger Longer and Uncut. while listening to this song, i came up with an idea to create a parody of this song that deals with Michael Eisner. so here it is. the lyrics to the song created: (if you have any complaints due to this song, i will be happy to change the lyrics tosome of the lines that you dont agree with)

NEW LYRICS!
Blame Eisner
(Sung in the tune to "Blame Canada")


Oh my gosh! He Killed Disney!

Times have changed and the films are getting worse.
They say it’s not their fault if the characters start to curse.
Should we blame the company? or the loss of Roy Disney ?
Or the very pathetic shows on ABC?

No! Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
It seems that everything's gone wrong
since Eisner came along.
Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
We need to form a full assault;
it's Eisner's fault!

Don’t blame yourself if he doesn’t remember Walt.
He took the best movies and threw them into a vault.
And my boy Timmy, once, had my picture of Mickey Mouse. And now I see he’s thrown it out of the house.

Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
Because when Eisner is gone,
there'll be no movies with Celine Dion!
Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
He’s not even a good person anyway.

PIXAR came to Disney and ruined Disney's success
The film Finding Nemo left Disney in a huge big mess
Should we blame John Lasseter?
Or blame CGI?
Or the doctors who allowed Disney to die?

Heck no! Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
With all his theme park hullabaloo!
And that Bambi sequel, too!
Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
All I can say is “Oy, gevalt”
it's Eisner's fault!

Everybody!
Blame Eisner! Blame Eisner!
With all of Comcast’s evil deals
and all of McDonald’s expensive meals
Blame Eisner! Shame on Eisner
for… the smut we must stop, the trash we must smash,
the laughter and fun must all be undone.
We must blame them and cause a fuss,
before somebody thinks of blaming us!

so what do you think of it? :D

:lol: great job.... let's just say this.. after all the things that have happened. I have come to believe that Ei$ner is the one to blame... it goes all the way to the top to Ei$ner....

He is a villain that is hard to beat.... when Mickey had united all the 2d cartoons ever produced to fight the villain, he fired them all! Now they have no acces to the studio... and the handdrawn Mickey is locked in a dungeon... We can only hope for some new cartoon to come along and fight him.... maybe Eisner is a toon himself!! bring in the Dip!!!!!

Blame Ei$ner, Blame Ei$ner, Blame Ei$ner,

I don't agree with all of the lyrics. Eisner really did turn Disney around from the 80's to the mid 90's. I think he has taken a fall and lost sight of the dream, and therefore needs to be removed now. Disney is a HUGE company and we can't blame one man for everything. He does give the final "OK" to everything that happens, but he is so busy and probably dosen't have the time to sit and really give thought to all of the ideas that come his way. I think Disney is to big for one man to be the head of. That job should be split, or he should be allowes lots of time to make decisions. The straight to video sequels turn a big profit for the company, so even if Eisner left, they would still get made. I have a feeling that the split with Pixar is more of a Pixar wanting to be indipendent thing than a Disney wanting to scam them thing. And by the way, did you see the "Teacher's Pet" movie, Uncle Remus? I know it did poorly at the box office, but it wasn't a bad movie. You should rent it when it comes out on DVD.

PIXAR could have made Disney famous, rich, and true,
but Eisner threw them out like a kitty with the flu.
Er. Pixar were making Disney famous how? By diverting all the attention from Walt Disney Feature Animation? Making Disney rich? Not if Pixar got their way, they weren't even willing to honour their old contract with Disney. Disney wouldn't be getting much fame or money if Pixar owned all the copyrights and all the characters from their new movies.

And they wanted Disney to distribute their films, thus meaning Disney would have to sacrifice one of the top opening weekends of the year for a Pixar film where they would only get a fixed distribution fee.

Yeah, I say "Well Done" to Eisner for throwing Pixar out!

You have good points about Michael Eisner to be blame for Disney fall. Uncle Remus not only one person can be blame how about the directors or producers that make the cheap movies or sequel. How about the accidents that happen at the Disneyland Parks. How about when Eisner turn around Disney in the mid 1980's and 1990's decade.

In conclusion Michael Eisner is not to be blame for everything bad that happen to Disney.

Hm I agree with the other stuff you said, but I don't agree with that! I see Pixar and Disney as one, the movies Pixar create are in my eyes Disney movies and when Pixar movies are released in theatres they are far away from any other Disney classics releases. IMO they don't affect anything made by Disney feature animation, and Disney is only getting positive image by Pixar. Pixar is indeed helping Disney to build their image in these hard days for feature animation, you can't deny that. Pixar just belongs with Disney, and I surely hope that they will get back together soon!

So it's just a co-incidence that Pixar's rise started in 1995 and Disney's fall started in 1995 is it?

Yep, but Pixar is enjoying Disney's image and Disney is enjoying Pixar's image. I mean, they both get negative things from each other too but I really think there are more positive sides rather than negative sides.

Still it's pure genious. That's how I see South Park as a whole anyway.
The new lyrics should be very interesting...
