  However, Lux Animation is fortunate in ways not many others are due to the growth of the 90s. In six to nine years, it will be much more challenging for panies looking to establish themselves iertai world. Now, there are rumors of a pany that terrifies the eai industry even more, a pany founded by Steven Spielberg.

Great job, - said A the first meeting orating the move to the grand building.

  "The Lion King" was being overshadowed by Disney's new movie, a clear defeat, a present failure. The petitor's film grossed 62 million, while "The Lion King" only reached 11.8 million. However, as the summer season begins and the days get longer, children are excited, and there's a recovery—a 130% increase in box office sales i days. The premiere tio grow, and although the oute is uain, critics have hi a good delivery.

  -We crushed them; their voices will be silenced. By the end of the season, we will be the only ones peting for animation. These arrogant newers don't know what it takes in the world of ema, - mentioned Michael Eisner, reviewing the reviews.

  -However, the film created by Lux Animation is particurly moving. If I may, I see success in the movie, and its box office sales will likely increase signifitly. We've experienced something simir on several occasions with some of our deliveries—humble beginnings, but earnings dramatically increase as the weeks go by until they surpass our expectations, - said Jeffrey Katzenberg.

  Michael Eisner paused, not giving an apparent response. He pced the palm of his hand on his cheek and rubbed it with disappoi. But inside, he was somewhat nervous. Was this a challenge from Jeffrey? The present fear was clear and present; the board of shareholder directors was in turmoil, and ohing was clear: many people favored Jeffrey taking over the presidency.

  Once friends, they now had a certain gap created by reje, by political intrigue, and by both of their fears of being discarded. People started to seek alliances. On one side, Michael Eisner's vision was beginning to crumble. Though everything seemed the same, he began to hear whispers in the darkness, one of which was the dey in the acquisition of ABC. It was clear: ABpany, the share buyout, had nressed and remaialled. The lo dragged on, the more people would take note of the shares, and the price would rise, making the purchase more costly.

  -Any other opinions about the future? - questioned Michael Eisner.

  -We could alleviate the threat with some critiques, talk to movie exhibitors, or pay some neers for reviews, - suggested Joe Roth.

  -More money is a mistake. If we use more money on a newly asded pany, it will be enough to make us a ughingstock. The prices paid for the Golden Globes and the Oscars were a siderable sum, enough to make three movies. Let's focus on our work, - said Bob Baker.

  The room fell into deep silence. Bob Baker was closer to shadow tactid did the dirty work on most occasions. The atmosphere was not good, not a ducive enviro.

  -Let's hope; that our success is the one. I want the animatioment to start the process for new animated films, - said Michael Eisner.

  The following versations would be short, but Disney's fate was heading toward another major success. Both "The Last King" and "The Lion King" enjoyed accim from the Hollywood circle; both works thrived uhe charm.

  Even on the coasts of other tries, the films of both panies began to be reized for their quality.

  Only Jeffrey Katzenberg hesitated because he knew of the mistakes made by tinuing with Warner's tasks. The board was new, and many executives were fired, but his position as president was assured. With the support of Roy Disney and other shareholders, he felt fully fident.
