Noob: Hey, what's wrong with slipcovers? They're GREAT! Why don't I have an avatar? Who's this Luke guy? Where did these people get those twisted stories about Sleeping Beauty! Why are they adding things to the Disney original?

First of course Song Of The South

Various Interruptions by Leonard Maltin:

Leonard Maltin: Look at the grandfather clock. I heard that it was burned down in a fire a few years later, so let's take a moment and remember it.

Leonard Maltin: The group of black workers gathering around for a song is not racist. It's just a lot of jolly old fun and I love watching it.

Leonard Maltin: It's speculated that Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah is really a secret code language for a secret white supremacy organization that quickly fizzled to nothing in the late 1940s. Unfortunately, no one believes this theory so why am I talkig about it?

Leonard Maltin: In this scene, we see Johnny and his lace collar. This is not in any way important, except that it looks freakishly gay.

Leonard Maltin: The tar baby is racist apparently, by people who see it as racist, when in actuality, is just another ploy Br'er Fox is using to catch Br'er Rabbit.

Leonard Maltin: Here we see Ginny pushed into the mud. Boy is her mother gonna get mad that her former wedding dress is so dirty!

Leonard Maltin: Defying the laws of physics and every other law imaginable, the animated characters suddenly end up in the real world. Also noticeable is that Toby has no shoes.

some of the original story stuff is true, such as with Cinderella, but Pinocchio didn't get hanged did he? And Aurora didn't get raped, right?

Well, in the original story of Pinocchio, the little puppet did get hanged but I think Carlo Collodi(the guy who wrote the original story) changed the ending before he died with the now famos one with Pinoke turning into a real boy.If you want you can read the original story here http://www139.pair.com/read/C_Collodi/T ... Pinocchio/. It's the ending with him turning into a human boy.

As for Sleeping Beauty, I heard it numerous times that she got raped in the original fairy tale. In a another verison, Aurora slept for a hundred years which is the one I grown up hearing. I don't much about the original Sleeping Beauty so I'm sorry if I don't know what I'm talking about. Hopes this helps.

BBC Promotional Documentary on Disney Fairy Tales (I believe around 1990, this was broadcast to promote the UK release)

It was around the time of Beauty And The Beast and it featured some early footage of the escape over a sea of lava from Allllaaaaddddinnnn.

On the UK TV documentary front I'd like to see Hercules with the South Bank Show about Gerald Scarfe's involvement in the character design.

Don't think we'll see either as it would involve Disney having to pay out some sort of copyright payment to use the footage (and I seem to recall the Scarfe documentary including some footage from Pink Floyd's The Wall)

And I'd like to see a "music only" track for the films. This could be accompanied with some subtitles providing some background information.

Why would this not suprise me?

I think that Disney should release all its classics; one every two months!...i don't think my bank account would be too happy though.
