>Anyway, even as a kid I had my complaints about Disney's stuff - of the two scientists he had among the regular characters, one was an absentminded nut, and the other was more of an inventor, with the only purpose to have most of his inventions backfire. Other characters were equally predictable, even for a kid, and after a while I started protesting the immutability of their roles - they kept coming back to what they were, never learning anything - and we were supposed to learn something from them?

>Later, I just forgot about Disney completely, until those two boring years when our youngest was watching Disney channel - that's about how long it took her to see what's wrong and shun it. Just another money grabbing corporation, nowadays. That Andersen guy was a moron, who didn't know he should write sequels to his stories, so they had. Phew.

Jeez, Dragan, I knew you were a curmudgeon, but now I get the feel you're criticising and complaining just for the sake of it. Living under Slobbo really must have affected you. And you've gotten more grouchy over the last few months, almost becoming a thread recluse, till you've summat to moan about.

We all know Disney's there to make money (I doubt if YOU work for nowt) but to condemn an organisation that's brought joy and wonder to millions, over several generations (my kids thrived on Disney, and loved all the classic movies, such as Cinderalla, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and, yes The Lion King) seems very odd.
And on the subject of The Lion King, WTF comparing it to a totalitarian regime. What did you expect with a pride of lions - The Democratic Republic of Pride Rock, for Godssakes?

And somehow you've passed the skepticism gene to your toddlers - that they could "see through" the evil scheme of the corporation? What did you do - sit behind them and sneer at them every time they laughed - whilst sticking pins in yourself every time you wanted to?

Unbe-freakin'-lievable!
