Leajewel and other such babes are ousted by Disney

Excerpt from today's LA TIMES

Once upon a time, there was a studio in Burbank that spun classic fairy tales into silver-screen gold.

But now the curtain is falling on "princess movies," which have been a part of Disney Animation's heritage since the 1937 debut of its first feature film, "Snow White." The studio's Wednesday release of "Tangled," a contemporary retelling of the Rapunzel story, will be the last fairy tale produced by Disney's animation group for the foreseeable future.

As I print more copies of Leajewel and pass them around to various industry and non-industry people I am now faced with the Disney opinionated reality that nobody wants fairy tales anymore.

I think I'll call bellsh.t and tell Disney that fairy tales were not invented by Disney and fairy tales will not be ended by Disney.

A magical story is a magical story and as long as there are children on this planet there will always be a need to expand their imaginations with tales of a beautiful princess, a handsome prince, a mis-guided witch and various odd characters that help restore calm after a storm of evil has swept through the countryside.

Bite me Disney.

This would never have happened on Walt's watch.

Leajewel thinks I should relax and let things fall where they may.

Done.
