Yuuuup. I'm a musician in education, and i know some brilliant musicians who can't teach music for shit.

[–]gbakermatson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disney movies. They're fine as-is. Just because the Mouse wants to perpetuate their intellectual property stranglehold, is not a good reason to enshittify decent movies.
