ACtually, if you go to urbanlegends.com it sheds light on a lot of these subjects.

It's not THAT in the little mermaid, it's actually his bent knee, and the thing in the Lion king may have been SFX, as a tribute to the special effects team

Sorry bad typing, i'm on a different computer with a weird keyboard.

Thanks for clearing that up, Starr!

And shame on you people who thought differently! Hah, I knew it wasn't true!

Seriously, people have tried to tell me stuff like that before, and . . . well, I just don't believe the movie-makers would do that. They're professionals, not perverted loonies.

Disney now is an abomination and cannot be trusted to turn out a good, much less acceptable for children, film.
No, that would be if MTV did LotR

and Usher would be Tom Bombadil lol

George Lucas directs LoTR:
"Frodo...use the Force!"

Quentin Tarantino directs LoTR:
"Bang, bang bang!" "Ahhhh! "What the f***!" "bang!" etc etc.

If Spielberg did LOTR: 2 men, an elf, and a dwarf seen riding out of Moria on orcs with hobbits in the baskets in front. Aragorn has a broken whip. There will be more closeups of the balrog in an elongated chase inside moria.

All these won't be the central theme, though. He will probably, instead, focus on the life of one of the Rohirrim or Gondorian soldiers and how tough it is preparing for battle with the orcs. It will also be one big flashback of one survivor who now lives in the 4th age.

I agree with you there...I love all of the Disney movies...EXCEPT...The Prince of Egypt...That was an EVIL movie that shouln't be allowed to view in front of children!!!

Meanwhile...If LotR was a Disney movie...couldn't you imagine the cast singing "Theres something sweet and almost kind...yet he was mean and he was course and unrefined" to Saruman!!!

When that mist thing went past to kill all the first borns and you see the little boy skipping with a basket of apples and all of a sudden his hand falls out the door!!! My and my sister were crying and nearly walked out of the theatre!!! That movie made God look really evil and cruel...(sorry if I offended anyone)

I think this is a good thing... get some of you purists all worked up about something that would be far more worse than what has already been changed for the upcoming movies...

Disney actually didn't start out bad at all... Walt himself was quite a good guy... lately, though, they produce nauseating sequels and ridiculous half-hour t.v. shows mimicking movies that have. themselves, done very well (*cough* Alladin *cough*). They make some wonderful feature films, but they promptly corrupt them little tykes that can't tell the difference will get parents to buy the products and watch the shows to boost their ratings...

Oh, and don't even get me started on the Disney channel.

I never saw that movie, but I've read that part in Exodus. And the way it was done in the Bible, God was really cruel. I'm sorry, but that's the way it was told. He only cares about Israelites. Everyone who stand in their way gets "smote", as it were.
I don't like the God in the Old Testament. He is not very nice. Not even very fair, but there you go. Hope I haven't offended anyone, but I wouldn't be surprised if i did.

Eeek! Not another religious discussion! I'm sorry I asked! \

Anywho, LotR Juxtaposition . . . if LotR were made in anime . . . it would be really cool! Ultra-modern, with a hard rock soundtrack. Hey, you never know, it might turn out cool.

Religious discussions are actually quite interesting if you can be level-headed.

Was the Prince of Egypt a diney-movie? I always thought it was a Dreamworks-movie!
