...Eisner's Disney or Katzenberg's DreamWorks--could build a clever scenario around the adventures of these two critters. But don't expect to see a cartoon version of Katzenberg's lawsuit against Disney anytime soon. A film about that trial, which had Hollywood adrool over a public brawl between two of the town's most potent moguls, would be a drama of rage and rancor. Call it An Uncivil Action...
