They WERE lies! :D


Yesterday, I made a post about how supposedly Disney was not going to make any more fairytales. Well, their official Facebook page has contradicted such a statement. I can't even begin to describe how relieved I was when I read this.

On the Official Disney facebook, they say “A headline in today’s LA Times erroneously reported that the Disney fairytale is a thing of the past, but I feel it is important to set the record straight that they are alive and well at Disney and continue this week with Tangled, a contemporary retelling of a much loved story. We have a number of projects in development with new twists that audiences will be able to enjoy for many years to come”

So the lesson here: DON’T ALWAYS BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU READ, DEFINITELY NOT FROM SOURCES LIKE NEWSPAPERS OR MAGAZINES!!!

LIES!!! (I hope)

I recently read an article about Disney. It has announced that they are "closing the book of fairytales". I wanted to cry when I saw that. Disney fairytales have always been my favorite. I am currently obsessing over their latest flick, Tangled (coming out in 4 days) and was looking forward to their next fairytale, The Snow Queen. However, they have scratched The Snow Queen out and will move on to other projects.

I remember when Disney announced that they would not make anymore animated films back in 2004. LIES!!!! Because in 2009, they came out with The Princess and the Frog. I am hoping this is the case with their latest heart-breaking statement. Their reasoning for going back to animation was because they "should not be ashamed of what [they] do best" (according to legendary animator, Glenn Keane). Why can't this statement hold true to fairytales as well? Their most successful films have been fairytales! Anyways, there is always hope... maybe they will see sense if Tangled does well in the box office and if not, then they will in a few years.
