Disney's complaining about people using their material?! Excuse me
<excessive laughter for several minutes>. Hello?! Has it ever occurred to
anyone that most of those stories don't belong to Disney in the first
place? James Barrie wrote Peter Pan, the Brother's Grimm wrote Snow White
and Sleeping Beauty if I'm not mistaken, Cinderella gets her origins in the
old German tale of Baba Yaga, Pocahontas is an early American folklore
tale, Pinnochio by Carlo Collodi. But the ads on TV always boldly announce
"Go See Disney's Peter Pan" or other title.




Not to mention a little think they called "The Lion King"
