Disney drops Fairy Tale Movies .. reason?

[post-it]

Disney has decided not to do any more animated fairy tale movies for awhile,
a 73-year tradition that made it the top children’s and family studio in Hollywood.
Thus, TANGLED will be the last animated fairy tale movie for a long time.
The biggest reason cited for this change is that girls no longer view princesses and getting married to be the idea

.. It is not that far from the truth; even Anime has pushed itself away from the main stream.
Most series today no longer consider Marriage as part of any tradition suitable for anyone;
and who can blame them! I' mean, come-on guys ( you know this to be true from what I've seen )
would you rather be dating someone light as a feather or so heavy that you need a ForkLift
to carry her across the threshold?? .. .. come-on -- be honest .. .. .. ... ....

Well it was a dumb bullshit lie to sell to little girls in the first place.

Time to R&D up another gimmick to keep the masses pacified!

Absolutely nothing wrong with wanting be a princess or wanting to get married. The problem is that has always been presented as the ONLY option, rather than one of several options available to girls AND boys.

Maybe now Disney could give steampunk/sci-fi adventures (Like Atantis and Treasure Planet) another try?

Treasure Planet

Disney needs to make a sequel, Treasure Nukem Galaxy Forever.

Go?

Just like Cartoon Network showing live action shows or MTV not playing music videos anymore...I'll never understand this stupidity.

Cartoon Network has redeemed itself to some extent tho. Atleast they're broadcasting old cartoons again.
