And even his family is worried about the company's current trends at times.

They should be..it's so sad to see what most of the movies have become like now

Yep. For animation, either they never see the light of day anymore or they're given hackjob, lackluster sequels.

That was the only sequel I could really stand.

I think The Lion Kind I and 1/2 was pretty a pretty good movie!

By the way, this forum is not very active at the moment...

I mean, despite Walt's death in the 60's, Walt's family was working endlessly to better the company & the products it was making at the time (thanks in large part to the direction of Roy Disney). Then up comes Mike Eisner who has a grand idea for how the company should be run. He aids Roy in the direction of hit films like TLM, B&tB, Al, TLK, and the like, but as time wears on, people could see that relations between Eisner and his flunkies & Walt's remaining family members were starting to go sour. Finally, with Eisner's assention to CEO & choice to have Bob Igor as his successor, Roy starts suspecting something, and sadly, his fears are confirmed as Eisner eventually turns the company in on itself by making it a money-obsessed juggernaut only concerned with the bottom line. The choices then made by Eisner force Roy to resign from the company, dragging the company down for a time, until Eisner and Igor it big with tweenybopper stuff like That's So Raven, Hannah Montana, Zack & Cody, et al. So now, with the mouse reduced to being nothing more than a figurehead and--unfortunately for his character--a Dora-esque teacher for babies & the Disney Tweens being red-hot, where does the company go from here?

The last thing all cartoons need is to be labeled 'for babies' . It not only pushes people away from good past Disney cartoons, but it makes some parents think that even older 80's cartoons like Care Bears are suddenly 'too dark and scary' we they them grew up on themselves at the same age

Yeah, and what's more, these are people who grew up on Looney Tunes, which--though done in a whimsical style--was unrealistically violent in that we'd have characters feigning death, characters getting shot only to come out of it unharmed, characters getting crushed/flattened by otherwise hazardous objects, etc.

So what? Cartoons have always been like that..editing them does more harm than good

How so? Some cartoons are best without editing (most anime, for example).
