Tolkien anti-disney? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I am very glad that Disney never got their hands on LotR. Remember the Bakshi version? Well I daresay it would have been better animated (unless they did it PotC style) but I think they would totally massacre the story line. They changed so many of the classic fairy tales like that. And I wonder who would have been the irritating comic relief character (there's gotta be one!)? <BR>But I may be biased because I don't really like Disney. Everything is so commercialised when a new film comes out (adverts everywhere, irritating McDonalds adverts etc) and the songs just annoy me. The only Disney films that I sort of like are the Lion King and Mulan. <BR>I really don't think that Disney would be able to do it justice.
