For those of you who don't know what the controversial aspect of the film is that caused Eisner to pull the film, it is the reports showing links between the Bush dynasty, the Saudi Royals, and the bin Laden dynasty. The film is highly critical of the Bush administration's handling of 9/11 and it's aftermath. It will be the first highly visible, mainstream American documentary to examine those things critically.

So, the reason why Eisner yanked the film? The Disney properties in Florida Bush country. The tax breaks. The environmental loopholes. The business friendly deals for the Disney monolith, so they can get around laws like OSHA, and can steamroller any local opposition to expansion, pollution, congestion, etc. All those "friendly" agreements they've made with the Bush dynasty, including those FCC things Bobert mentioned.

So when Disney says it isn't censorship, or about free speech, they are probably being honest. To them it is about the bottom line. In all likelihood, the Michael Moore film will be a huge grossing film this year, and Disney could have had a piece of it. But the bigger piece of pie that matters to them is the FCC shit, the Florida connections to the Bush family, etc.

I think I'll go picket this summer's Disney films for the kiddies.
