Disney Lies

Sorry to report that we made yet another little mistake yesterday when we re-revised our announcement that Disney had announced a series of all-new short cartoons. We said that the titles of the shorts would be Disney feature film titles mashed up with famous stage productions, and this is not the case. In fact, it’s such a silly idea that we deserve to be brought up on charges for not having questioned it in the first place.

Instead, the title of each of these parody shorts will be a "mashup" of a classic Disney film and a famous non-Disney film. For example, "Tangled" might be combined with Troma’s "The Toxic Avenger," giving us "The Tangled Avenger."

Disney hopes that fans will enjoy trying to puzzle out what the original film and play were and what the parody will be like from the "mashup" title and then tune in to see what it’s like. Our yet-again-revised sources deep within Disney report that titles currently in production include:
