Thank you for the time... |
Also, I'm not sure why you care that Disney created movies based on public domain poems, stories, and fairy tales. It's a retelling to reach the new generation. Can you honestly say that without Disney, you would have known the story of Ballad of Mulan? It's a poem written in China in the 6th century.

For bonus points, the Disney movies tend to stay fairly close to the original plot (the recent Princess and the Frog notwithstanding, but that was an intentional inversion of the original story). The Lion King even mirrors scenes from Kimba the White Lion in some places, though that's a controversy for another day.
