They include a test with Roger Rabbit animated in CG to prove we could do a squashy-stretchy character, a stereoscopic CG version of Aladdin's genie and, most recently, CG animation for Disneyland's 50th-anniversary TV spots.

And Hong Kong should take a self-interested lead in cleaning up the Pearl River Delta. A government investing in Disneyland could surely spend an equivalent amount on such a cleanup, starting with factories and power plants owned by Hong Kong's own tycoons. Without maintaining the quality of life that its topography and climate should provide, Hong Kong could gradually lose its richest sector?financial services. With effort, it could...
