I would love to see this article.
Though i do find it amusing that so many people read USA Today.
Its as guilty as any of the cartoons mentioned in Lurker's SPAM-article of
lowering the intelligence of its audience. Its a newspaper filled with
meaningless graphics and brightly colored items to catch attention and
hardly makes the slightest pretense of being objective, except to its
readers.
Anyways,
If anyone can tell me where to find a copy of this article or if someone can
actually post it here or forward it i'd be much obliged.
The Anime Web Turnpike has links to it.
Now we can all go watch Disney films and see them corrupt and make happy
various icons of literature and history, like the Hunchback or Pocohantos.
Before one assails Disney for it's habit of rewriting classics,
one should remember what the Japanese did to "Lensman",
"Twenty-Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" and a certain gentleman
cat burglar, not to mention all those spin-offs of the Monkey King.
That's not even getting into the revisionist versions of their own
classics and fairy tales.
