Rumors
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Re: Rumors
If mickey.mouse works, that's great and sad. I mean, if a child writes an e-mail to Mickey, wouldn't he write it to Mickey@disney or MickeyMouse@disney? How would that child know to put first.surname@ ?
Sorry. I am gonna get off my box and shut up about this now.

My opinions are mine and mine only. If my opinions are the opinion of others who happen to share whatever my crazy views may be, then fine, but it's not because I represent them in having my opinions. Got it?

Re: Rumors
I think that Mickey prefers to meet people in person. He seems like that kind of guy who wants his fans to come see him for personal interaction. Besides, like most popular company figures (Steve Jobs was the exception), he probably has an assistant reading and responding to his email, forwarding only the most important issues to his attention.Big Wallaby wrote:If mickey.mouse works, that's great and sad.

Re: Rumors
On AOL you used to be able to e-mail Steve Case when he was CEO. They also used to have it set up so that you could msg Santa Claus around the holidays. Santa would reply back with a set script that was dependent on what you said.ktulu wrote:I think that Mickey prefers to meet people in person.
