Bring me the head of Walt Disney!

Disney must be stopped. Cinderella II?! Peter Pan II: Return to Never Land?! The Hunchback of Notre Dame II?!?!?!

Disney, which has poured tons of money into the political arena in order to keep extending the copyrights on its own characters, obviously has no hesitation when it comes to appropriating (and mutilating) others' works. I'll say this for them, they certainly do make an art form of hypocrisy. Heaven forbid they should pay writers to come up with original ideas for new cartoons, rather than simply churning out sequels to their bastardized "interpretations" of classic literature.

Speaking of Disney, what's with this 100 Years of Magic celebration they're pushing on TV? According to the IMDb, Walt Disney's first contribution to the entertainment world was in 1922, so either they're 20 years too early, or they think Baby Walt excreted masterpieces into his diapers.
