I always thought Disney had more pull than that. I guess there animation studios have really gone in the crapper recently, what since Beauty and the Beast?

I am of the similar opinion. I liked Pluto from the day I learnt about it at school. And now, I feel as if a tiny bit of my childhood has been relegated. First the fanciful Moon was trampled and now this. How can they do this? And what are they going to do next? Is this yet another show of bestial narrow mindedness by us humans in the name of scientific realism that is against our fancies and dreams? It took 2,500 scientists around 75 countries to kill an innocent concept. Yes, that is what it is, a precious concept of a distance planet - the outer most struggling to blend in. For how many years Pluto has been in the imagination of our children like a little candle of wonder and amazement. They can call our dear Pluto a dwarf but they cannot take away the history attached to it now. The history that is fantastic and tragic at the same time.

So do I! Someday my kids will tell me "you are so old, that when you were young, Pluto was a Planet!" :(
I think many people has too much free time, instead of worrying about other planets, should focus on resolve the problems of this one, anyway.

I liked Santa Claus and the tooth fairy too. But eventually we learn better.
Clyde Tombaugh did a wonderful piece of work in 1930. Out of the blackness of the sky he discovered, as he put it, "just a little bitty dot".
We now know that Pluto is essentially a very large comet, one of many, and certainly not the largest. It just doesn't get close enough to the sun to exhibit comet behavior.
The new classification of Pluto is the correct one. May it's status as a planet rest in peace. It was a nice ride, but alas, it's true status has been elucidated.

I don't give a damn. And I don't really understand the reason as to why people would waste their time studying and voting on whether or not Pluto is a planet. What good comes from it? Does it really affect your daily life? The thing will still be there, and you can call it what ever you want. Maybe I'll start refering to it as Gorbogall, what difference does it make?

Is Pluto not officially a planet anymore? How sad.

I've got fond of Pluto, heck they even named a Disney Dog after the Ole planet.

Because they said we treated Pluto as a planet.
Because they said we now treat Pluto as not a planet.
They will come up with many new things shortly
With that we have to to a lot more changes in our knowledge.
That much only is the stability of all our knowledge...
Today's true will be false tomorrow
Tomorrow's false will be true the day after.
True is true only for that moment.

I could care less. If Pluto would disappear altogether it would not affect my life in any significant way.
If "planet" is redefined -- i will just have to learn a small new piece of trivia and move on.

Yes. I am sad to see Pluto be downgraded.
