The removal of properties from the vault continues ...
Will any of the creators of the original blockbuster get any profit-sharing on this one?
Will Walt rise again?
The original's story director, an artist named Ed Gombert, told me how difficult it was to put together the first version, how Howard Ashman's treatment got changed, and then the whole plot had to be reworked in a short time span to meet the release date, and he had NO idea how they would hit the mark.
But they did.
Per director Ron Clements, when the crew moved into production after "Beauty and the Beast" wrapped, nothing was ready but two of the songs .... so the songs went into animation first.
And now comes the remake. All hail the Mouse.
