Believe me, that Disney thing is indeed a whole 'nother discussion. Although, and I address this to ladystarblade above as well, did you get the new DVD of The Little Mermaid, and see their short adaptation of The Poor Little Matchgirl? They did it straight. So sad, so freakin' beautiful.

I know, that's why I trashed what was going to be a rant on the topic.

You're KIDDING?!? They did *Matchgirl* straight???

Bedamned. Now I think I *have* to get the DVD, just to see that.

*lifts eyebrow* My roommate got the DVD, but I haven't seen it yet. Must investigate...thanks for the heads-up.
