Yeah I read bambi, crazy book and really easy to read. I really enjouyed it
(you recommended it to me :)
Disney originally was all about innovation. Remember when those first couple
movies came out, they told stories that regular live action had no way of doing
- massive dragons, whales, puppets etc.
I really highly recommend reading roger eberts review of pinoccio in his great
films list... Super insightful.
Disney unfortunately has been turned into a brand where they are all about
$$$$$$$ but man, it their day it was pretty awesome. :P *cue walt disney rising
from the cryochamber to exact his revenge*

I wonder if disney's original motive was to get the kids interested in the
stories by giving them a "teaser" via cartoon movie so then they'd go read
the books.
if so, now disney just hijacks a story, rewrites it and calls it good i
guess...
btw anyone ever read bambi? it's basically the same story as sidhartha, but
with animals instead of people lol. it's also only like 200 pages, a small
paperback, not a big hulking book like you'd think :P
