- It can be sickening in a way, but it's a great method of advertising
- for Disney. I like to watch them to see just what information
- they've distorted. To my surprise, these "infotrailers" seem pretty
- honest, but tainted with Disney propaganda. For instance, the guy
- (God, I'd like to bonk him one! :-)) says in the voiceover: "Beauty
- and the Beast...has all the elements of the CLASSICS." It sounds good,
- I guess to some, but he really said that BatB is based on a movie
- formula! I enjoy watching these disgusting (if you're cynical about
- capitalism) ads, though.
