The question Nov. 16: Former Disney movie honcho Jeffrey Katzenberg settled his lawsuit against the company, which, he said, didn’t share profits to which he was entitled. The settlement amount is in question. What do you think he deserves?

Jeffrey Katzenberg is worth the same as Michael Eisner, which is no more than 10% above the lowest paid--the real workers.
Mick Mandeville, San Gabriel

Mr. Katzenberg certainly deserves to be compensated, how about a beach house on the shores of the Pirates of the Caribbean ride so he may enjoy the company of fellow mammonites? G. L. Rockmael, West Los Angeles

A slap on the bottom for being so greedy. He should be sent back to the nursery to learn how to share his toys with the other children.

How dare Disney deny the man one penny who partnered its comeback 20 years ago. A contract is a contract--give him the full Monty!

If Mike Ovitz can receive close to $200 million for doing nothing, then Jeffrey Katzenberg is surely entitled to five times that much for helping Disney secure its place as a superpower in the world of entertainment.
Ricco Ruiz, Pico Rivera

Katzenberg deserves 10 times the settlement. He made Disney animation what Walt always strived for: revered and profitable. Eisner dropped the ball letting him go.

Katzenberg is entitled to whatever money it takes to buy a quality hairpiece from the same place Marv Albert got his!

Disney pays Katzenberg $250 million, Ovitz $100 million for nothing but won’t pay hockey’s best, Kariya, to deliver Anaheim’s first championship. Katzenberg deserves less than Kariya . . . zero!

I think polls like this inappropriately demean the work of lawyers and the courts by giving the totally false impression that the public’s opinion, without seeing evidence or knowing the details, has any validity at all.
