Disney's adaptations of fairy tales often bear little resemblence to their originals. They're not even interested in capturing the spirit of themes of these stories and will change anything to suit their purpose.<P>Tolkien writting that in his will is interesting, but I was always under the impression that Disney owned the rights for quite a while before Tolkien died.<P>As for why Disney never made a film - the only thing I have to say is, thank God.<P>H.C.
