Should Disney make an animated version of Romeo and Juliet?

Yes. it has potential to be entertaining and educational to a young audience.

No. It is far to adult for young viewers and having the two lead characters die would be far too inapropriate for children.

Yes. Disney should continue to use original sources to make their animated films.

Anyway, Disney doesn't make animated movies anymore unless they can make them comedies and inject a lot of pointless humor. Although, that having been said- my roomate got a copy of Ratatouille for Christmas and I've yet to watch it. My opinion might change after that (depending upon whether it was actually Disney or just Pixar that Disney put their name on).

Ratatouille is certainly more a Pixar product than Disney. But I can assure you the humor in this movie is not pointless but serving the story!

Have you heard of the upcoming feature "Gnomeo and Juliet" which is a version of the R&J story with garden gnomes? It sounds really weird. IMDB does not give much information, but it inculdes the voice of Kate Winslet and songs by Elton John. It's supposed to be released somewhere in 2008.

"My ears are bleeding just from watching that" Shouldn't that be eyes than? :roll:
