> > The Disneyfication I *really* take issue with is "The Hunchback of Notre Dame". It just boggled my mind when I heard Disney was making a kids' animated movie of it. What? Huh? How on earth? You have GOT to be joking! Even if you took out the deaths and the rape and the disillusionment and the evil and the morbidity and the cynicism, and changed all the characters and the storyline and the ending, you'd still have ... uh ... oh, right. That's what they did.

> But have you seen it? It's an excellent movie, despite not being the most faithful adaptation of its source material in the history of... adapting source material. The music is, by and large, not as insidious and annoying as in most Disney cartoons, for one thing, and it;s not quite as "young." Frollo is *easily* the best Disney villain in a long time, as he actually has depth to his character.

Separate issue. I'm just griping about the idea of changing a literary classic to such an extent. As for why this is something to gripe about at all, well, hey.
