The problem is that her true life story involves much that is not considered 
politically correct these days.  I'd love to see Disney draw the scene where 
she accepts Christ!  But I don't think they'll do it.  Besides, what will the 
kiddies think when she marries John Rolfe instead of John Smith?
 BM> BTW, the soon-out "George of the Jungle" is to be live-action, not

 BM> please.
That's probably the most depressing thing you've ever posted.   I'm a 
HUGE George fan, but I don't think live-action will cut it.  Unfortunately, 
as long as people's kids drag them to see this stuff, they'll keep putting it 
out.

P.S.  Any signs of a remake of the Pirates and wenches in Orlando?
