I am a huge Disney fan.

But that is because I don't CARE if they change an original story and only take basic ideas.
After all, I don't think any Disney film has ever claimed to be true to its source, has it?
The movies are all (well, all traditional animated movies, not that 3D stuff) very very good in my opinion.

I don't care for the accusations of patrotism (is NOT negative), rassism (only a racist/paranoid person would care, imho), violence (ever watched Watership Down?), etc.

After all, a Disney movie does not erase the original story.
Just because Disney made The Little Mermaid does not mean that the original book magically disappears. Everyone can still read it and enjoy BOTH stories.
Disney movies were never meant to be close adaptions, were they? So why complain?
I just don't understand it.
