Disney adopts Soviet "history" philosophy ... or what? Mark Unseen   Jul 16 07:40 UTC 1996

Does Walter Disney & Co. deserve all the flack for making the
Huntchback of Notre Dame a "90s kind of guy?"

rewriting history has long been teh province of the winners. is  America
being conquered by Disney?

Hmmm... Essentially my feeling as well (terrifying! ;-)

I imagine they decided the original Quasimodo was too much like (pick yer 
politician) and would scare the lil' darlings ;-)

Besides, it's the age of "We are all Sweetness and Light" - and even 
Disney is now politically correct and uses Nutrasweet instead of sugar.

   since when is quasimodo a historical figure? i was more annoyed by their
portrayal of pocahontas.

Same, same - alla' same - Disney likes Nutraweet coatings and wonderfully 
smiley/grinning/slap-happy faces *sigh*

Makes me wanna watch The 'Grinch' again ;-)

        i'm definately with void on this one. pocahontas was the worst.
        it was also terribly inaccurate. ry and i went to see THND last
        week and really enjoyed it. it was entertaining. i think thats
        what i look for the most in disney flicks...entertainment value.
        the bad part about pocahontas was that it wasnt't even entertaining.
        i was disappointed in many ways with that one. THND was a really
        welcome experience after our last disappointment.

<i didn't forget about Pocahontas ...just taht hunchback is more contemporary.
pocahontas is another "rewrite" taht DOES fit the same parameters/

"Song of the South" is a great Disney 'toon (though it is part
live action), but in this PC age you will probably never see it
in theaters.

I seem to recall reading somewhere that "Song of the South" was at one time
available in Japan on laser-disc.  I do not know if it still is; I am
reasonably sure that it has never been released on domestic home-video.
