Originally Posted By basil fan I think it was pretty obvious that the writer meant the exact opposite of everything he said. Nobody would ever say a character was "too appealing." Too cutesy, maybe, or too pretty, but too appealing?

Originally Posted By Emz That article on AnimationBlast.com appears to be an "editorial" of some sort, masquerading as a news piece. I'm rather surprised that the site owner posted it since his focus has always seemed to be towards accurate animation news and history. I guess he just must really really like the original Sorceror's Apprentice.
Originally Posted By ChillyDown LOL! Amid strikes again. He writes hilarious articles. I actually believed he was serious through the first half of it (though I was astonished). But eventually Amid's satiric intents became clear. Even if Sorcerer's Apprentice *is* based on the original story and has nothing to do with Mickey Mouse, Dis is still trading off the name to lure people in. It's no different than the "cheapquels" or the movies named after rides. Disney is desperate and willing to do anything to get people in. In fact, I'm even LESS interested in this film if it doesn't even have Mickey Mouse in it. What's even funnier is today's article. Someone didn't get Amid's joke and actually wrote him an angry letter!! Since this is my first day here, and the tone of this post is kind of harsh, let me just say that I LOVE Disney, especially the classic stuff. But I think the company has lost its way lately, so I'm just sounding off on my personal opinion, while hoping Disney soon regains its glory days. I agree with Scutr. Don't destroy the magic of these films by remaking them! Now we can only hope AOL Time Warner doesn't remake Citizen Kane.
