Oooh - I wasn't here for the first round of this one.

I like Lion King 1 1/2. I thought it was really cute. The only thing that disappointed me about it was that they never mentioned Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead on the dvd features (or at least that I saw).

I like Pocahontas and John Rolfe. It's a personal thing. Wink

They had to put them together because of history - I know they took their creative liberties in the first one and in any other movie they've done, but enough people believe that she married John Smith already and who she ultimately ended up with is too big of a thing for Disney to take a creative liberty with.

They did that on the Lion King dvd. Though that doesn't change that they claimed it as an original idea on the "Story Behind the Story" thing. Rolling Eyes

It seems like that wouldn't be legal - all three of those stories are very much based on those plays and they're not even admitting it in the bonus features all the time.

Laughing

Which is why I care deeply about this topic.

Which surprises me that they're so reluctant to admit it when the majority of their videos have some roots in a book or fairy tell.

Hmm...I can't believe Hercules and Megara haven't been mentioned more Confused

Meg -is- the only heroine who actually died for her true love. And I love how their personalities contrast so much.

Am I the only one who's deeply creeped out by Ariel and Eric? Like I've said before, a voice is not something people usually base entire relationships on Shocked

Love at first sight plots seem a little forced sometimes.

Because they want to keep that idea that this is the best Disney movie of all time because it's an idea they came up with on their own unlike the others; Not because it is based off what is said to be Shakespeare's greatest and well-known play because it is so universally recognized and you are supposedly supposed to be able to identify with at least one character or aspect in it.

That's really dumb - to reject a strong literary basis for the story just to make yourself feel special. Rolling Eyes

I really enjoyed Hamlet as well as Rosencratz and Guildenstern are Dead - which is why I get upset that they aren't given the credit they deserve in this area.
