I think Isidour is just giving hypothetical examples. . .Sailor Eric wrote:I don't think that the story idea mentioned above would contain sexual themes...
And when would a knife be involved???
Oh yeah, even though it was handled in a very subtle manner and that it would probably go over children's heads, there was definitely a sexual theme involved that made a lot of soccer moms very uncomfortable.Isidour wrote:on the sexual themes stuff, I meant to make refeence to The Hunchback of Notre Dame(talking about Frollo)
We'll get to see this for ourselves when the special edition gets released.on the knife part, the changed scene of "Lilo & Stich" when the ax,the sciccors and al that stuff inside the swedden thing were changed for toothpaste and other
You know, the biggest critics our there are the self-righteous and hypocritical ones. Frollo's a good representation of that.You know, if we could link the soccer moms with a Disney character it would be Frollo. Think about it "He saw evil evrerywhere, except with in".
Why would Apollo fall in love with Marylin or vice versa??? He's a merman and she an octupus-maid!!!nedak wrote:Here's another plot for The Little Mermaid III:
It could take part after the second movie, but all of the heroes would have the same age as in the second movie, not older.
King Triton has a son, but very few know about it. His name is Apollo and he was taken away from the kingdom at the age of 3, because he was the only male-heir to the throne and Triton wanted to protect him from Ursula. He would grow up with nannies in a far away kingdom.(here we could settle everything about Ariel's past including her mom, as a flash back). Apollo returns to Atlantica to be king because Triton eants to retire. This fact Brings Ariel, Eric and Melody to Atlantica(as merpeople of course).
There is also Marilyn, Ursula's beautiful and kind daughter, and Octavius, her revengeful brother who wants...GUESS!!! to take over Atlantica!
Marilyn will meet Apollo by luck and they will fall in love, but Octavius will use his sister to get what he wants.After that Apollo'll feel betrayed, but Ariel will explain everything to him, and all together, they will have to save Atlantica from Octavius...
Now I KNOW what you're going to say(isn't it Lion King II plot? etc.etc.)
It's just an idea I'm trying to improve...

"Real problems on animated stuff? no way, the animation world it´s always magic, let´s prevent of knowing this problems" Well, a child's imagination is a good thing and I guess the mothers want the animation to reflect what their child is dreaming?
"A swedden knife(or those kind of things that have many stuff in it) on a movie? please no! they are not old enough to see this killing weapons!" Sadly, if Junior accidentally walks in on Dad watching reruns of "NYPD Blue" then what's the point? I guess that's the same as the first thingy except it's Junior running in on Mom's "Desperate Housewives."
"Let´s better see the power rangers, they have no weapons and evil always lose"

"My son/daughter must never know about the real problems of life and stuff, he will know at the right time, and I´ll show him/her how to deal with them:Ignore it and hide it from others" How will they learn about it if you keep on sheltering them?

The ignorance of people amazes me sometimes. They ignore the rating system, which was put in place to avoid complaints, but they see dinosaur and think instantly, the kids would love it. Which they did. My daughter saw JP3 in the theaters when she was 4. Loved every moment of it.Ah, that's when Ariel meets the selfish and spoiled Celia, who is half human, half eel. I always loved that story.Siren wrote:There are an excellent Little Mermaid comic. I have it somewhere. From what I remember of the story, Ariel ended up in a labyrinth somehow. I think she had to prove herself to some other race of mer-creatures. And in this maze, it was like the Minatour. It was this huge sea monster. Well she was able to somehow kill the sea monster and it's skeleton was bought by Ursula who made it into her home. Been so long since I dug it out, I forget all the details. But it was a fun story.
I remember they had to go back and retouch it to make it obvious that she was wearing clothing. I didn't see any problem with it, either. And I totally agree with you that the viewer often finds something that isn't there, and that's not the fault of the those creating the stories and imagery when nothing explicit is depicted.The sexual themes in Hunchback were really subtle for kids
. . .
I remember all the crap about Esmerelda in the fire and she was naked....In what way? It was the form of a woman in the fire. I didn't see nipples and I didn't see a vagina. I saw the shape of a woman in the flames.
Exactly. And I find it odd that the "SEX" rumor was started by a woman that claimed her three-year-old was the one that found it. How on earth a child that age could pick that out of the swirly image in a few split second frames, let alone realize the significance of those letters is beyond me.And I saw SFX in Lion King
I saw that the priest's KNEE was showing through the robes
Yeah, by all accounts that was something inserted after the filming was completed by Disney.The only time there was a deliberate attempt at anything pornographic was the image of a nude woman in The Rescuers, which Disney didn't do. That happened somewhere else in some other way. Because the earlier prints of the movie don't show these images.
That was it! Yeah, that would have made a great prequel or even a great episode of the series. I actually liked the series. I thought it was well done.Ah, that's when Ariel meets the selfish and spoiled Celia, who is half human, half eel. I always loved that story.
Exactly my point before. If your kids know what sex means and can read it at such a young age...Really, who's fault is that? My daughter wouldn't know the word sex if she saw it. She wouldn't know a lot of words when it comes to being that explicit. And why would a billion dollar company made almost solely for children put such things in there in the first place? For instance, the Rescurers thing was obvious and instantly it was recalled and fixed. But the Lion King and Little Mermaid stayed intact. Why? Maybe because nothing is there? The Little Mermaid VHS cover was also never recalled. The whole idea of one pillar looking like a penis was just ridiculous. In my opinion, they all resembles a penis, lol. But I REALLY don't think it was intentional. Look at the movie, that is how the pillars are shaped. The whole idea was to have an oceanic castle. The ocean tends to have more roundness to it and all that is in it. So it is natural for the castle to then be different then the castles on the land and everything about it be more rounded. It just so happened one person who was probably looking for fame and fortune pointed out a resemblance and it spread like wildfire. Again, if my 6 year looks at the cover and says it looks like an erect penis, who's fault is it?Exactly. And I find it odd that the "SEX" rumor was started by a woman that claimed her three-year-old was the one that found it. How on earth a child that age could pick that out of the swirly image in a few split second frames, let alone realize the significance of those letters is beyond me.
Well, if you remember from the first movie, Ariel was a mermaid and Eric was a human! In my story, things are a little more easier: none of them has to change his tail or tentacles to anything-thay don't need a trident or a sea-witch. They both live undersea, and they only difficulty is, as Isidour said, between races.That means, the problem is like Romeo and Juliet, or "What will the family say?".Sailor Eric wrote: Why would Apollo fall in love with Marylin or vice versa???
