Disney. What Happened?

So I've done alot of Disney movie/tv watching lately. (I'm currently watching Mulan & Hercules while writing this) and it makes me wonder, what the hell happened? I asked my brother what he thought of when I said "Disney" and he said "Disney World, Zack & Cody and Hannah Montana." Now, when I think of Disney, I think of Beauty & the Beast, The Lion King and The Little Mermaid. Maybe it's because we were raised in different generations, but as far as I can see, the work at Disney has come to a disappointing halt in my eyes. I can't remember the last time I saw a good Disney movie in theaters (I've yet to see the Princess and the Frog but I'm sure I wont be disappointed, so it's excluded) So it makes me wonder, what happened? Is Disney is all hyped up on Hannah Montana and the Jonas brothers that they forgot what Walt Disney set out to do? Mr. Disney once said "I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous." and that's exactly what Disney has turned out these past few years. Making kids think that having double personalities will make you cool and famous, or being in a popular band with your siblings and still going to a public school will make people fawn over you. Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this, or maybe it's just the changing of the times, but as a life long Disney fan, I am extremely disappointed in Disney's projects for the past few years. What happened to the good shows? Where you got to use your imagination, instead of just wishing you could be someone else? I just don't understand the concept.
Forgive me for not being a fan of "Skinny jeans syndrome" but I probably won't be watching any Disney TV anytime soon. Let me know when Disney releases something worth watching.

"Disney is a work of love. We didn't go into Disneyland just with the idea of making money"- Walt Disney

My first blog.

So I tried the Youtube thing, where I would just do random videos about stuff. Well, that didn't work very well. So now I'm going to try blogging. (this way I won't have much editing to do when I have a brain fart =P )
This blog will just be about life and everything in it. What's going on in the world, random and odd things, what I'm up to, and interesting things I've discovered and things I'm doing (or at least attempting to do lol) No different from any other blog I guess.
I think the best way to start something is to introduce yourself, so this first blog will be about me and I guess it'll demostrate my views on stuff so I've selected a few surveys to fill out.
Okay, here we go.

Your Fears:
I'm terrified of quite a few things. Losing my loved ones is a given, being in the dark ( I refuse to sleep without some sort of light in the room) Dying, cause I've got alot to do before I kick the bucket.
