Hello Julie and listers,
For that matter they could put a header on before the movie stating this
information.  When they released The Boy Who Could Fly, a movie a bout a
boy who dreams of flying they used alot of dangerous stunts for making Jay
Underwood appear that he was really flying.  Before the movie began, and
after it ended they placed strong messages explaining that this film was
pure fantasy, that the stunts that the viewers saw were done by
professional stunt personnel, and told the audience not to attempt these
stunts.  While I would rather not see this movie be released with Mr.
Magoo in his current character the Disney Folks could mitigate the
potential damage done by explaining that Mr. Magoo is only a fictional
character and that in real life blind persons are competant and self
sufficient individuals capible of performing on a basis of equallity with
the sighted.  If the wanted to they could even show documentaries, or even
follow the movie with a film about blind people and how we reaally are.
just what happens remains to be seen.
