Buena Vista is the main distrabution company for everything. Luckily, at least in the US, the movie itself dealt with through Miramax (also one of the many offshoots of Disney), so it was given a lot more attention to detail than it might have been otherwise, as Miramax still has a decent amount of artistic integrity.

Disney owns about 49% of this town. If you see the Hollywood Pictures logo before a movie, the checks were signed by Disney. If you see a Touchstone logo before a movie, the checks were signed by Disney. 'Nixon' was paid for by Disney. The upcoming 'Pearl Harbor' was paid for by Disney. Disney owns a major network. (Of course, I watch so little network tv I can't remember which one they bought...like duh.)

I wonder if the Justice Department would finally do something if Disney tried to buy AOL/Time Warner...the old MST 'ComHugeCo' joke would be a reality at that point.
