I'm afraid I must disagree with you all.<P>I was brought up on Disney movies and as a result they are some of my favorites. I just can't hold a grudge agaist them. I mean, think about it. You're all teanagers or young adults. When you look at these movies you see the shadow of a greater tale. But when someone watches them who dosn't know where the story came from they find it exciting and enchanting. Disney takes great stories and formats them for the young audiences. For example: What 7 year old wants to hear that Ariel dies at the end of "The Little Mermaid"? The movies are tailored so they are suited for children.<P>As for the singing. I happen to be a huge fan of Musicals so I have no problem with it. In fact, I find Disney music to be very good.<P>I'm not saying that Disney should have done LotR. The material in the story is better depicted in it's original form. However, I think that if given the chance Disney could have pulled off a great "Hobbit" movie. It has all the fanciful, adventurous stuff the company craves.<P>Please don't condem Disney. <P>P.S. I LOVE LILO AND STICH!
