| @Speedbird007 True, but Robin Hood has been remade many times for different markets. Make it a parody by Mel Brooks, the one with Errol Flynn, a-not-so-accented Kevin Costner flick, a recent revamp of the series for the BBC etc. All Disney movies are taken from stories of old anyhow and their original content/intent is butchered. Not all them, and not only Disney, but some movies have a lot of great aspects to them, too. Aladdin comes from ‘Scheherazade and the One Thousand and One Nights’, Grimm fairy tales (which were basically collections of older fables) have been rehashed, Hans Christian Andersen and so on and so forth. 'Shrek' is a very short childrens picture book from a couple decades ago. Ideas are looked at again and again – some with positive results…some without. Content is changed for market value, and to not scare the living bajeebus out of kids today. I do love Roald Dahl's version of 'Little Red Riding Hood,' however - one of my favourite versions. |
