All horses are descended from Poseidon for some strange reason.

Damn, now that's an element to the myth I *didn't* know.

So Poseidon plowed Medusa? Good heavens, man, have some standards!

I hear ya. They kiddify kids stuff. Before I was born my grandparents bought me a huge collection of the ORIGINAL stories of all these. Great stuff. I'm glad I own them. And now I want to go read them.

Greek Mythology is really nothing but a giant orgy, usually bookended by a ridiculous birth or brutal killings.

Keep in mind that Medusa and her sisters (Stheno and Euryale) were once beautiful. Medusa was raped by Poseidon in Athena's temple and as punishment Athena cursed her with snakes for hair. Medusa was also the only one of her sisters who was mortal.

Oh and Medusa was Poseidon's cousin. Her parents were the Phorcys and Ceto, a brother and sister who were offspring of Gaia and Pontus (who in turn was a son of Gaia).

As I always say Incest is the best when it's family.

I am not huge on the Disney sequels, there are a handful I have liked...One of which was the Peter Pan sequel probably because it went to theaters and the animation and visuals were great.

This is pretty much where all the 2D animators (from Disney) have left to go, this and toon Disney TV series.

This prequel looks interesting, a back story of one of Disney's most popular films would be nice. Now why didn't they do that instead of the other sequel about her future daughter? I could have done without that.

As for the HCA little Mermaid I remember the other animated mermaid movie from when I was a kid where she did die at the end. Is that movie a direct story adaption? Does anyone else remember it?

Disney doesn't do acurate. Never has. They changed absolutely everything in every film. I remember hearing the author of 101 Dalmations wasn't too happy.

I'd kill for another animation studio to do that Hercules, though. something closer to the most common version of the myth.

With the exception of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. They actually retained the ending in which Ichabod "diasppears", the Headless Horseman wins and Brahm Bones gets the girl. Very unDisney-like and a reason why its my favorite Disney flick.

*Raph's Girl* · 04-02-2008, 04:06 PM

The Hercules film pissed me off. Gods that was lame. Hera as Hercules mom?! WTF?! Seriously Disney what the frak where you thinking?!

Cinderella could not have been done accuratly since the original tale is from Egypt. Most of the Asian versions of the tale involve magical fish (Cinderella becomes a nun in the Japanese version).

In the Brother's Grimm version tho...there's no fairy god mother....it's a magical tree that grows on Cinderella's mother's grave. And the step-sisters become blind when pigeons peck their eyes out and they became blind beggars.

Now Aladdin was kinda done right. Except that in the original tale he was Chinese, his mother was alive, and Jaffar had a wicked brother.

Sleeping Beauty is well... close....except her mother dies of a broken heart thinking a prince will never come to wake up her daughter. *lol*

Snow White: Disney...um.. you forgot the sister.... I like the "Fables" take on the tale. Snow White was raped by the 7 dwarves and when she married the prince (who later cheated on her with Rose Red) he taught her how to use a sword and Snow White killed the dwarves in revenge.

Don't forget Rescuers Down Under. It is by far the best Disney sequal, and it also was theatrical.

*Revan* · 04-02-2008, 04:30 PM

The Lion King 2 did quite well also

**Jester** · 04-02-2008, 04:31 PM

Release.....me.....

Uh...there's also this movie called Toy Story 2. Maybe you've heard of it.

*Dr. Doom* · 04-02-2008, 04:38 PM

Amen to that. I only saw it like once, and I really don't remember much of anything that happened in it, but I remember it was good times.

Ok, that's true, but I was thinking just traditional Disney animation and not Disney/Pixar (which if I remember right, they've all been pretty good. Has a Pixar film flopped?)

*Dr. Doom* · 04-02-2008, 04:54 PM

I dunno about "flopped", but I'm sure more than one has failed to meet expectations (Ratatouille was one of them, I think)

*Revan* · 04-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Ratatouille won an Oscar for best animated film

*Dr. Doom* · 04-02-2008, 04:57 PM

Yes, I'm aware.

I seem to recall it not making as much money as was expected of it.

Sheesh. It got over $200 million in the box office.

*gobo* · 04-02-2008, 04:59 PM

That doesn't necessarily mean it met expectations. Maybe they 'expected' it to win the presidency or something...

*Dr. Doom* · 04-02-2008, 04:59 PM

Yeah, I dunno, it's weird like that. I wasn't certain, but I seemed to recall something about Ratatouille not doing as well as they wanted it to.
