Urgh, they're making a modern action-animation movie of the Jester Till (Till Eulenspiegel in the original). I can't believe it... -.-; And it's not even a Disney production. Then again, I shouldn't bash it too much. Disney does it all the time and they've been known to totally mutilate well-known folklore tales... *sighs* It shouldn't be so hard to come up with a story yourself, should it? I mean, I applaud them for wanting to open up old folk tales to the general public, but they're not really doing that. They just pick some elements here and there, things they like, and then make up something completely different and end up somewhat blurring the memory of all these stories until nobody remembers them properly anymore. I don't like that. Look at Pocahontas, The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, The Little Mermaid, Tarzan and so many others. Don't get me wrong. I love those movies dearly, I do, but I wish they'd make it clear that they only were inspired by the original source...

Oh well...
