Disneyfication: Difference between revisions

*** The Witch does survive in the comics, though her later activities are less malicious.

* ''[[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney film)|The Hunchback of Notre Dame]]''. You wouldn't think [[Victor Hugo]]'s [[The Hunchback of Notre Dame (novel)|original novel]] would be suitable fare for a children's movie. Despite being one of Disney's darkest movies, they still made it much nicer than the book - Esmerelda was nicer, Phoebus was nicer, Quasimodo was nicer, there was a clearer line between good and evil, and the good guys didn't all die or kill themselves at the end.

** The [[Everybody Hates Hades|Disneyification of Hades]] from [[Dark Is Not Evil]] to [[Big Bad]] is pretty amazing. They took the Greek concept of the Underworld and Hades (which was more or less pretty much a neutral judging point) and spun it to better resemble Hell and the Devil. Complete with imp minions. Luckily, [[Chewing the Scenery|James Woods]] is a great actor. They also made him quite cynical (and possibly the [[Only Sane Man]]), which only helped.

** In the original myth, not only was Heracles the product of an extramarital affair (with a mortal woman, Alcmene), but Hera loathed him and tried multiple times to torture and kill him. At one stage she inflicted a madness on him that drove him to murder his children and his first wife, Megara - and it was Heracles who had to carry out penance for this in the form of the Twelve Labours.
