I am sure that that is true. I don't doubt you at all. It seems as though 
there 
really isn't a whole lot of animations that Disney has come up with (that 
are 
made into movies) that aren't orriginal ideas. Most come from fairy tales 
or 
other children stories. But please correct me if I am wrong. 
  
                        Forever in Disney, 
                            Christine
