I feel the same way about Hercules. There is absolutely nothing family-friendly about the original Greek myth and the Disney version pays extremely little resemblance to it, aside from Hercules' strength, the god's roles and character names. Instead, they pretty much took Superman, dressed it in Gr...

Well there is a lot more of a stigma on a boy doing something girly, than a girl for doing something boyish- sissy is negative, tomboy is positive.

If you can find a way to flesh out
*witch steals baby
*baby grows into pretty girl
*prince comes
*witch finds out
*happy ending

for an hour and a half, being faithful is fine.
I mean Cinderella, a fairly solid fairy story, requires the mouse subplot to flesh it out to standard movie time.

Disney have made major story changes before with several of the classics, Snow White, Cinderella, the Little Mermaid and Sleeping Beauty come to mind.
I'll judge the story when we know a little more about it, or even better- when I see it.

that picture is in my Walt Disney Imagineering book, I forget what it was a design for- it wasn't used anyway. But it's definitly a WDI concept, not an animation concept. It's a very fascinating concept art piece... I'd love to know for what attraction (if any) that she would have been designed for...

But again, why are we expecting a voice actor to be so clued up on his animation history?

I suppose he is correct in the attitude to animation. I mean in the 50's, 60's a feature length animated film would be more of an event then one released today. The market of animation is very saturated, and styles are so varying. I think he is making a valid point that Disney have some very good co...

It's one of my favourite rides in the park. I just love Tomorrowland and the corny jokes, and the neon and all that.
It's also a ride that my family really take in together, facing each other and at a slow enough pace that we can talk.
I dunno, just a lot of fond memories of it I guess.

I loved Tin Man, regardless of the huge running time.
While Tin Man had an Art Nouveau/Steampunky turn-of-the-century-but-fantastical look, this seems to be going for a sleek plastic 60's look-
which is really exciting.
Looking forward to this, definitly.

Wow,
Tiana stole Pocahontas' necklace.

darnit Disney, the Rock? Ugh. I LOVE tomorrowland, its one of my favorite places ever. I love the retro future idea so much. Thats what I'd hope they keep. Like in Meet the Robinsons or Futurama, if you make it as zany and retro as possible it can stay fresh longer. And there had better be some refe...

It's beautiful, and you feel for Cinderella when her stepsisters yell at her, and how do they do that unbelievably amazing magical effect on her dress when she fits the slipper? This park is something special! Yes, please translate Assepoester for me! It looks a little like Peppers Ghost (if only b...

Incidentally, Maleficent reminds me a little of the illustrations of another favourite of mine, Harry Clarke, an illustrator and stained-glass artist of the Aubrey Beardsley school - very willowy, sometimes rigid figures with heavily ornamented robes. I absolutely ADORE Harry Clarke, illustration a...

Willy, Im sure Cinderella is desperate for love from somewhere. I mean she is in a hellish situation in the Tremaine home, "abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own home. Everyone needs love on some level. The only kind of happy relationship she has going right now ...

Thats a shocking difference! I guess it seems more startling when you arent caught up in the park. Honestly, it looks like either Maria or Giselle found some blue curtains and stitched up a dress overnight. At very least, even if you dont make it a silvery white dress, at least differ the colours, t...

I found out that The Prince from Snow White is actually called Prince Ferdinand, is this true ? :? Apparently that mistake was made because Walt was once mentioned the character, Ferdinand from one of his shorts (he was a bull?), after saying "The Prince", as if listing some of his charac...

According to Press releases of the time, Cinderella is an: 18 year old, blue-eyed blond, who's 5' 4", 120 lbs. with a shoe size "in proportion to her stature" (you do the math I'm no shoe expert). I do believe that while promoting the film, in interviews and such, that whenever asked...

Well Someday , Giambattista Basile wrote, so far that I have found, the earliest version of the Cinderella story that we more commonly know, I guess with the structure we're most familiar with, in 1634. Perrault wrote his stories in the late 1600's, 1697, so it was really close to the 1700's actual...
