Well, of all the arguments I've ever seen for CD-I, this one wins the prize
for absolute silliness, bar none.  Do you mean the same "Hollywood
Professionals" who brought us DICK TRACY and GREMLINS II, not to mention
the ever-popular FRIDAY THE THIRTEENTH, PART <N>?  Or, perhaps, you mean
that successful Hollywood professional, George Lucas, and his venture into
computer graphics, Pixar, which just laid off damn near all of their 
employees?
