I so wish I could have made it to new York this year. Its the first in in a few years I have not been at all. And what a year to miss at that. I think there was some really great title shows that I really wanted to see. I think Sponge Bob would have been cute and Frozen was something I have been anticipating for years now. I was so disappointed not to see any nomination for frozen. It really seem Disney has a hit or miss rate right now and this just didn’t cut it I guess. I think Disney should start to create stories for the stage first. We need more original content for the stage. This year has been better then others when it comes to new work nut we still have a lot of film or tv to stage transfer. And while I think they make a quick buck I don’t think we are going to be getting any more Lion kings our of it. I think Disney was lucky with Aladdin.
