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.
