Well, considering you used The Little Mermaid as an example, I don't think the people you've talked to are far off.Disney-Fan wrote:2. Maybe so, but trust me when I say, I've talked to people about the sequels. During a time, for example, when only Little Mermaid II was in print, people based their perception on the original movie based on the quality of the second. 'Cause it's a sequel, so it must have some resemblance, right? We all know how wrong that statement is, yet sadly people assumed that the originals offered the same kind of turd the sequels did. So, you see, people's beliefs that Disney is for the 3-years-under market has only been justified based on those pieces of horse crap. I did say "added" to the perception, didn't I?

And no, while DTVs might be bad, they don't really target to youngins. I'm not saying they're targeted to a large audience, but saying they're only targeted to toddlers is, imo, wrong. Disney fanatics see the sequels just out of curiosity for example. And having seen most, I don't think they're targeted at young kids only. Some have moments that target way above them(especially The Lion King 1 1/2). Your comment can also be said about the originals if you're really putting much examination into this.
