Author Topic: Screenvision and Disney William T. Parr Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 823 From: Cedar Park, TX Registered: Nov 2000 posted 02-26-2004 07:24 PM                     Ok I know Screenvision ads have been discussed here before, but I am looking for info specifically when it comes to Disney produstc and those ads. Reason I am asking is my film buyer, who also was teh ashhole in charge of us when the current owners took over, called and asked why I was not playing the Coke add on the front of Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen. My reply was because it was a Disney tagged product and there were memo's out both from screenvision and in the can about DO NOT PLAY THIS COKE AD and DO NOT RUN ANY ROLLING STOCK ADS WITH THIS PRINT that were enclosed with each respectively. He then spouted that he ahs never heard of this at all yet the dumb fuck has been a theatre manager with UA and worked in the Home Office when it first moved to Colorado so I know for a fact he has known about this unless he has had his head up his ass the whole time he has had a movie carrer, Which I also know for a fact he has.Any how his exact words were He did not give a shit what Disney thouggt or said to put the Coke ad on. Can anyone verify that these memo's have in fact come out with there Screenvision Coke ad's and thier print of Drama Queen? If so fax the info to me at (512) 467-6170. If I am right, I am going to do exactly what he said to do then inform Disney.  |  IP: Logged Mike Spaeth Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1129 From: Marietta, GA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 02-26-2004 08:25 PM                        From what I understand, the restriction on Screenvision ads is on all "Disney" features, not necessarily other BV product (Touchstone, Hollywood, etc.) However, I believe there is an exception for any product sold at the theater. We continue to run our movietickets.com ads.  |  IP: Logged Dennis M Dow Jr Expert Film Handler Posts: 141 From: Bloomfield NJ USA Registered: Oct 2003 posted 02-26-2004 08:30 PM                       As far as I know, Screenvision commercials are the only thing not allowed on ANIMATED Disney movies..... we also receive notice as to what other movies not to put them on.... We play pepsi and moviefone trailers on all prints  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

Touchstone is ok. Coke ads are allowed on all Buena Vista films (Disney Touchstone).  |  IP: Logged Kyle Watkins Expert Film Handler Posts: 185 From: Stuart, FL, USA Registered: Sep 2001 posted 02-27-2004 03:13 AM                     According to our home office. Coke goes on "everything" the screen vision adds do not go on. Disney Buena Vista Holly wood Miramax Dimension Touch Stone.

(North of Dallas) Registered: Jun 99 posted 02-27-2004 10:18 AM                     For us: Coke is OK because it is something that is sold in the theatre. Feel Good (Foundation) trailers are ok. Just no "Commercials" This aplies to "TRUE" Disney (as told by the Sleeping Beauty Castle with the flyover) films. Animated or not. Touchstone, etc or ok for rolling stock.  |  IP: Logged Travis Hubrig Expert Film Handler Posts: 175 From: Minot ND, USA Registered: May 2003 posted 02-29-2004 03:47 AM                     How about this??? The latest screenvision flight we were scheduled with includes an ad for Spy Kids DVD, which happens to be BV or Disney or whatever. So Disney thinks that ads are in poor taste with feature films in theaters? What is the excuse that they use for not allowing these? I know the real reason is because they want a cut of $$$ for ads played on their product. But what do they tell the public.  |  IP: Logged Darryl Spicer Film God Posts: 3250 From: Lexington, KY, USA Registered: Dec 2000 posted 02-29-2004 12:08 PM                    Spy kids 3D is Miramax. I have no problem with Disney not wanting the ads on their Disney features. That's one less film I have to worry about putting those things on.  |  IP: Logged
