Damn, this Lion King stuff is frightening. I thought this was one of the best Disney movies ever, certainly of all the *modern* ones (since, say, the late 1980s) ... but already I've taken to hate Disney, the company, for being more and more about business and less and less about Walt Disney's original vision, that of telling truly heartwarming and inspiring stories while being at the forefront of animation technology (I cite Dumbo and Snow White as examples easily withstanding the test of time; I'm still amazed at the lifelike animation of Snow White dancing with the seven dwarves in their little house, something you oddly don't see as much in today's (traditionally) animated movies).
And now the Lion King story... this reminds me of when I heard the story about a lil' kid who went with his Mom to see Lion King, then blurted out "Look Mom! It says SEX in the sky!" during a scene that had Simba looking up at the starry night sky when, indeed, for a brief moment the stars appear to form the letters S, E, X. I actually refused to believe that story but now I don't anymore.
Treasure Planet? I have NO desire to see the movie, I'm just now working up some resemblance of interest to maybe rent Atlantis someday. TP strikes me as an effects show and a superficial thrill ride... just the preview seems bloated with 3D animation and effects... and I keep noticing how all the character animations and dialogues nowadays go hack'n'slash, almost in a slapstick (or even Looney Tunes cartoon-ish) manner, instead of sticking with more lifelike and fluid motions the way Walt Disney pioneered them.
Now, Pixar, that's a place that knows how to animate...
I do feel sorry for Disney himself, if he knew what had become of his company, he'd be turning in his grave.
