I think the fact that Ghibli has put a lot of 
restrictions on Disney is a *VERY* *GOOD* thing. 
I personally watch a good bit of Disney and have 
some pretty sure ideas about what Disney would 
have done to say, Mononoke, had Ghibli not 
insisted the movies be released without being 
changed. All you have to see is what Disney has 
done to the stories it *has* released. Anyone 
ever read the original Pinocchio? It's a *LOT* 
darker than the watered down, Disnified version 
most people think of when they think of the 
story. And it isn't an issue of when Pinocchio 
was released either because it's the same with 
the Little Mermaid. I won't even go into the 
ridiculous "liberties" they took with my own 
favorite fairy tale, Aladdin! >_<

Me? I winced and cringed when I heard that Disney 
was buying anime to release since that "good must 
always win", "no shades of grey", "nothing but 
fluff", "don't make the audience actually think" 
company has no business releasing any anime.

So take a good look at Disney before complaining 
that you think Ghibli is being nothing more than 
a pain in the @$$. I think Ghibli is protecting 
not only it's creation, but all the fans too.
