Wow... yeah neice. *doh* Mysticcat, isn't she the neice in Prince of Theives? I swear that's why Nottingham wanted to marry her. (Not saying that's any sort of official rendition or anything)
Who else would be Nala's father? Mufasa and Scar were the only males. Clearly Scar wasn't getting any. Simba was just unusual in that he didn't go to another pride for a mate. Nala would have had to be a good deal older than Simba NOT to be related to him and since they're cubs together...
Yes... Lion King promotes incest among our children. And THEN Lion King 2 has Kiara and Kovu. Kovu is the son of one of the lionesses who left with Scar (but not actually Scar's son) Thus he must also be Mufasa's son and is marrying his neice.
/creeped you out yet?

But Antigone or Hamlet with a happy ending, of course.
(My daughter loves Ariel. I still haven't had the heart to read her the real story.)

Just a philistine, I suppose. Did I mention that I hate Mickey Mouse and all his friends, too?

That movie came out when I was 7, and I remember making my grandpa watch that movie with me EVERY DAY for about 4 months.
Do you feel better?

Robin Hood and Little John walking through the forest
Laughin' back and forth at what the other 'un has to say
Reminiscing this and that and having such a good time
Ooh de lally ooh de lally golly what a day

True, but it's not like Disney's the first to clean up fairy tales. Even the Grimms didn't always publish the most gruesome versions. I'm not a big Mickey fan either, but their movies are almost always good. (I did prefer Lion King, Mulan and even Aladdin to Mermaid, Snow White, etc.) I'm looking forward to this one as Disney's strength still lies in their animated classics, PotC aside.

PotC??? What is that?
Do you remember when Disney would come out with ONE movie a year or so, and then after it left the theatre, it'd be another year before it came out on video? Those were the glory days.
Now they churn them out like sitcom episodes. Blech.

I agree and they've had some clunkers. Atlantis was boring. I liked Treasure Planet though no one else did. And Brother Bear was neat but... eh I feel like they let Pixar carry them for a while.
and yes, PotC=Pirates of the *JohnnyDeppisHOT* Caribbean

Very true, although it's not so much the cleaning up of the stories that bothers me as the changing the story to the point that it's not really the same story anymore. I really like Lion King (much better on stage, even) and Aladdin, and I think Sleeping Beauty is visually fantastic. Cinderella and a few others are okay. But The Little Mermaid with a happy ending? Peter Pan lite? Ugh.
Of course, I think the movie of "The Wizard of Oz" screwed up that story, too, so keep your grain of salt handy.

No, I agree with you about Oz. The sequel was more in keeping with the books. Although it's been so long since I've seen or read Peter Pan I have little opinion about the movie, I liked the live action version and Hook has always made me happy (Wasn't Disney but the animated Swan Lake (Swan Princess?) is worse IMO than the Little Mermaid)
I wonder if kids today are losing out on being able to accept a tragic ending. I mean, if you always have happily ever after until you get to Shakespeare, can you really appreciate the tragedy of Romeo and Juliet or Macbeth or Hamlet or Julius Caesar? Hans Christian Anderson could always make me cry when I was younger (and might still today) but there's a lot of meaning there.

Never ever thinking there was danger in the water
They were drinking and just guzzling it down
Never dreaming that a scheming sheriff and his posse
Were watching them and gathering around!
