In May 2004,
Michael Moore announced that Disney (which owns Miramax,
the film's distributor) had officially prohibited Miramax
from releasing the film and expressed his frustration that
the film was being stifled. Disney said that the decision
had been made a year earlier in May 2003 when it told
Miramax that it would not be willing to distribute the film.
Disney chief executive,
Michael Eisner,
said that Moore was announcing it at that time to create
publicity for the film's screening at the Cannes Film
Festival. Moore claimed that Eisner had expressed concern
that the film might jeopardize tax breaks granted to Disney
for its theme park, hotels, and other ventures in Florida,
where Jeb Bush, President
George W. Bush's
brother, is governor.
Winner of the
Palme D'or! 2004 Cannes Film Festival...only the
second documentary ever to win!
After its official showing at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival the
movie was given what has been called "the longest standing
ovation in the history of the festival". Although the exact
length of the applause is a matter of debate, journalists at the
screening have reported it being in the area of 15 to 25
minutes.
