Return 2 Zero Fired At Disney Hollywood Studios
Its a sad week this week as it was announced that disney has fired the pre-show group for the Beauty and the Beast show Four For A Dollar (known as Return 2 Zero in park). On another site one of the wives of a member of the group said that it was completely disney's doing and the reason was so disney could free up some money for the High School Musical 3 Cast. In my opinion, this is a horrible horrible descision. It is just another thing disney is doing for penny pinching.
This is just another act for money as was switching chicken tenders with nuggets, replacing popular shops with those silly princess botiques, making disney stores carry children clothes and nothing but, franchising hannah montana and high school musical (the worst things in my opinion), and now this. There is more probably but it is very sad this has happened. Im actually not going to enjoy the studios anymore seeing how they kicked probably my favorite show to pay for a movie that I myself dont like even though others might but it will still earn them much money. Their last show is on September 20.

So they're getting rid of the show to save money for the HSM3 cast? Wow...

Okay, none of the changes are a big deal. Chicken tenders to chicken nuggets isn't the end of the world. It's not even as bad as Arby's changing their french fries to curly fries. As for the Princess Botiques, almost every girl I saw was wearing those dresses, so I think they must love it. And for the Disney stores, the stores aren't owned by Disney. They were owned by a children's store company called Hoop Retail. However, recently Hoop Retail was thinking of selling the stores back to Disney ( or so I've been told). And canceling the opening act doesn't ruin the whole Beauty and the Beast show. I think it all depends on your opinion, but I think these changes are necessary. You have to make changes once and a while, or else you'll never progress forward, you'll just be stuck in the past.

I never got a chance to see them (hopefully I will) but I heard a recording someone did. They sound great.
Unfortunately, Disney's deciding that the public needs more "We're all in this together", when in reality, Walt Disney himself designed Disneyland so the whole family can be entertained, not just the kids. Bad move, Disney.

Gr! This really frustrates me! All Disney is doing is turning itself back into a corporate monster again. All they want is money now. All they want is money. Walt would be disgusted. Sure Eisner lost them a lot of money, but he slowly gained it back. Here I was hoping that this new president would help Disney, but all he's doing is exploiting Hanah Montana and High School Musical to it's fullest. It disgusts me and is annoying beyond anything else. The company wasn't built on Zak and Miley's good looks. THey were built on amazing cartoons, movies, and parks. Now they're literally taking every originality and turning it into something corporate for marketing or turning it into Pixar. For a little there I saw some hope that things would be split between Disney's past and Disney's present, but I see now that's gone. How much you wanna bet VMK got shut down because the server fees and employee fees were given to the Jonas Brothers or Camp Rock or something else pre-teen girls go bananas for. Makes me sick, sad, and mad.

On a slightly off topic, besides my apparent hatred for Michael Eisner (notice his initials spell ME) he did do some great things for Disney. (i.e. the Disney decade, MGM (DHS), among others.) But you have a point. HSM was great, IMHO, but then they turned it into a monster. It's still good, mind you, but it's taking over absolutely everything (much like the Pixar-ation of the parks.) Disney's using a classic business tactic: make something great and milk it until it's dry. While I am disappointed with Disney's decision, I'm not surprised, but look at all of the other great things Disney has, like the parks. (The ones that aren't infiltrated by the Disney Channel. )

Yes, but if you forget about the past, always look to the future,and don't learn from the past history will just repeat its self. As for bobray, I don't think she was intending to upset disney fans, she meant towards disney not towards it's fans. Last time I checked disney fans don't represent the company.

Maybe not to you!! I loved those things!!! And now~ at French Market at Disneyland, no more fries? I was there in July, and they had 'em. Then, two weeks later I went, and they weren't... Disney is being a bunch of cheapos!!! Like there was this teacher at my school~ she had this umbrella, she had the tag on it.. We said she'd use it, then take it back and get her money.. But now the tag is gone...[B][I][U] Its a sad day, when chicken strips go to nuggets..

While the idea of Disney laying off the Beauty & The Beast cast for HSM stuff is both criminal and unsurprising,
I'm suspicious of the source since it seems unlikely Disney would actually tell the actors that rather than make something up. |

I love those silly little princess shops. But that's beside the point. I see what you're saying, and I completely agree. But maybe we don't know everything yet. Maybe they're saving money for something bigger and better coming soon. You never know until the future comes.
