Disney are sons of bitches!! (MM #123)


-or-

Disney/Fox Part 13.

Short version?


The Dragon's Lair movie?
Dead.

Slightly longer version?
The Disney/Fox merger allowed Disney to go over Fox's development slate, and slash 300 movies to trim the fat.
And the sinew, and the bone, and the marrow, and...

Anyway, Dragon's Lair got the axe.
Because it's by Don Bluth, and Disney has been playing dirty pool to screw Don Bluth since the very beginning with "The Secret Of NIMH".
Usually by threatening advertisers and merchandisers that they won't get the next Disney movie if they deal with Bluth.

Well, this is their final "fuck you", to Bluth, and probably the final nail in his career coffin.

Sons of bitches.

Really longer version?
Here's all 300 movies that fell to the axe.

Link.

Other bummers.

Spamalot
Mega Man
The Caves of Steel (Asimov book)
The Foundation (Ditto)
Flash Gordon
Untitled McDonald's Monopoly project

Shit that deserved to die.
