  • I look at the period when Disney owned the successful independent film company Miramax and the public disputes between Harvey Weinstein and Michael Eisner.

    There was also Weinstein’s attempt to edit Princess Mononoke, which quickly got quashed when he was sent a katana saying “no cuts”.
    I’d be down to see more “when X owned Y” videos like this and the Dic episode. Studios and companies partner up and break off agreements so often.

    You were saying how on the preview section for: "Finding Nemo", they included a trailer for: "Spy Kids 3D: Game Over".
    Also, on the VHS opening for: "Brother Bear", they included a trailer for: "Ella Enchanted".

    It's funny, because of how the movies were advertised, I occasionally forget that titles such as the first three Spy Kids or Sharkboy & Lavagirl aren't Disney movies even though McDonald's still made toys to promote said movies alongside the latest in-house movie by the Mouse or Pixar title

    It’s also worth noting that while Lionsgate did get the rights to distribute the majority of Miramax’s library on DVD and Blu-ray,
    Echo Bridge Home Entertainment also got the rights to another 200 or so titles.
    Examples include: Becoming Jane, the From Dusk Till Dawn series, Dimension Films’ Halloween trilogy, the Pokémon movies, and the Bionicle movies.

    Another thing Miramax did in the early to mid 2000's was partner up with Lego to make movies based off of Lego's toyline:
    "Bionicle"
    They made three Bionicle movies: "Bionicle: Mask of Light", "Bionicle 2: Legends of Metru Nui", and "Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows".
    There was also a forth Bionicle movie: "Bionicle: The Legend Reborn", but for whatever reason, that wasn't released by Miramax, and was instead released by Universal, (hence it showing up on the DVD opening for The Tale of Despereux).

      I really wish Harvey Weinstein would just be an Executive Producer on Shakespeare In Love instead of being one of the main producers, and also be impressed with Saving Private Ryan and let that film win best picture, but (In Mocking Voice) noooooo it had go to Shakespeare In Love because Harvey and Miramax’s massive Oscar campaign.

    I don't know if this is a regional difference for the UK, but I mainly remember a trailer for Spy Kids being included in the DVD for Atlantis: The Lost Empire & a teaser for Bionicle 3: Web of Shadows being included in the DVD for Tarzan 2.
    Speaking of Bionicle, those three movies under Miramax included Disney trailers.

You should do a list of your favorite movies from Dreamworks Pictures (which I know you already did a list of your favorite movies from Dreamworks Animation, but Dreamworks Animation and Dreamworks Pictures are technically two completely different companies now), do a list of your favorite movies from Revolution Studios, do a list of your favorite movies from Hollywood Pictures, do a list of your favorite movies from Lionsgate, do a list of your favorite movies from The Weinstein Company, and of course, do a list of your favorite movies from Miramax.
      And while we're on the subject, it'd also be great if your could do your favorite shows from Dic, and your favorite shows from Nelvana.
      Just giving you some options as you haven't done many lists lately, and I love your lists.

      A lot of people think "Shakespeare in Love" won Best Picture, because they assume Harvey Weinstein bribed Academy voters with fancy gifts and luncheons. He was certainly known for going to extreme measures to court voters and win Oscars (Steven Spielberg that year said he wouldn't stoop to the same levels to help "Saving Private Ryan" win), but "Shakespeare in Love" was a widely acclaimed and popular movie at the time. The movie definitely had its fans, with or without Weinstein. It's also a movie partly about show business, so it's understandable why it would appeal to people working in the film industry.
