James, you have an interesting message there, but I completely disagree.
Bambiwas made over sixty years ago. It's timeless, though. I was watching my nephew when it was on TV on Saturday--he adored that movie! He was doing everything that Bambi and Thumper did, and later on when he was playing he even added some of the plot to his games. Nobody has tried to fit it "to the style of the times." That's why it works. You can't update Bambi. However, the shows on the Disney Channel die off. While adults still watch Bambi fondly, TV shows and such that they watched when they were eight, they might remember with nostlagia (spelling...), but they wouldn't actually enjoy Captain Kangaroo as much as they did once upon a time.
Do you see my point or has it been lost?
I definately see your point and yes I agree Bambi will always be a classic, yet most of the shows on The Disney Channel will be watched and loved by many, including myself. They are most definately not timeless, nor are they classic, but I still like them. They are just fun pieces of entertainment, not meaning to be the next Disney masterpiece or anything like that. I'm sure that Disney will revive itself in the next few years, maybe with Chicken Little, but will anything come close to being as creative as say Fantasia in the next few years, as there is not anything new to come up with. I'm not sure if Disney is ever going to make a movie or TV Show that is worthy of the title 'Classic' but the Disney Channel shouldn't be taken as seriously as some people do, and they just enjoy this Channel for what it is.
