Dear Marcia,

Sigh, yeah ;_;.  I noticed that too seeing the
trailer for the movie months ago -_-.  I guess
it's a Hollywood thing =/ (Bug's Life and Antz;
those 2 asteroid movies which I can't remember the
name for; etc.).  It's just too coincidental to be
an accident ;_;!

Despite this, I still love Disney =}.  Who can't?!


Sincerely,

Sonia

P.S. I can say this though.  I met one of Disney's
animators once at a special lecture at the local
animation gallery (which is now gone).  He said
that he DESPISED anime (couldn't understand it;
can't watch it; hated the art style) =(, BUT he
also said that many of his colleagues LOVED ANIME
=).  They might have a had a hand in influencing
the storyline ;), but that's just a theory.
