I just asked them. They are know curious about your free stuff. It reminds me of the handouts at presentations. Can I have a handout? Did you attend the presentation? No. But can I have a handout? It doesn't matter if the stuff is good or not, you want the option to have the stuff. www.debrennersmith.com My kids and husband went to the movie this weekend and did not get the stuff.

Welcome to the Free Market Economy, though. I guess we need to keep forcing companies to make the "right decisions" and we do that with our wallet, not through some generosity of spirit. Barb, I don't have an answer to that question. One benefit of a virtual art project is that it does not take up "space" per se, but can live forever in a digital archive. You obviously lose something (tangible experience) when art goes digital, though. Bonnie: The movie is good. The marketing sucked.

From this POV, it's easy to understand the disconnect between the theme of the movie and the corporate promotional tactic. I hope you write a letter to the editor, and to Disney itself.

Unfortunately, the marketing people use lots of products to promote that are not friendly to our environment. I often worry about such things when I teach. As visual arts teacher, we create masses of work. How much is too much? It does seem that the eco-friendly message is lost in all of the hand out items you received.

I'm so disappointed. But I will see this movie. Bonnie That’s so strange to hand the audience such a mixed message. I’m so disappointed. But I will see this movie.
