How mainstream pap appeals to the common masses.
The Disney science of emotional manipulation through their tried and true formula of killing off a parent or sibling to instantly get the buy in from the kids.
The Lion King is an amazing example of 'safe formula filmmaking'
I could write a nice essay on that one.

Get to work, then. :)
That really is a good call though. I recently saw Hercules. it was entertaining on a shallow and inane level, but i could help but be offended by how much they shit on the story.....
Yeah, Zues and Hera had avery Loving marriage.....:rolleyes:
i guess big daddy zues trying to snake every birgin and nymph doesnt make a good family movie..... Then dont fucking make it!
I cant wait for Disney's Calligula!
"He was the Roman Emporer who loved too much!
Robert Townsend as Calligula! Beonce Knowles as the Sister who wouldnt leave his side! (sister meaning Black woman, not blood relative. And they are both black, so we dont step over any interracial bounderis...)
Danny Devito as the spunky little Dildo that could!
Angela Lansbury as the magical Vomitorium keeper! (Be our Guest! Be our Guest! puke that food, 'fore it digests!)
And featuring the Late Ray Charles as Bacchus! Bringer of wine and responsible drinking!.
You'll Laugh! You'll cry! you'll feel your netehr regions tingle with excitement to Calligula! The Roman who Loved!"
Featuring Rosie O'Donnel as the wise-cracking grape-girl.
