With respect, you yourself have got into protracted exchanges over certain off-topic matters, including only the other day.
We got nothing else to talk about right now, why not this? And its still technically relevant (even if in a only tangential way) to the box office of Mufasa.
Give TP time…. I am sure he will update us on how much money Snow White is losing…
Why? If you don't want to partake in the conversation just don't pay attention to it. The whole point of this forum is to discuss ALL things Disney. These movie threads would die awfully fast if we didn't talk about all these things. I say bring it all on. And if I don't care for a topic, I check back until there's something I want to engage with. That seems pretty reasonable in my eyes.
True but I think there is a lot of good in hearing other viewpoints even if opinions don’t ultimately change, I’m as stubborn and unlikely to change my mind as anyone but I’ve learned a lot over the years from talking with those I disagree with, I wish more people did it, maybe we’d (people in general) be less divided if we understood each others views better.
Yeah. When people wanna talk about the Oscars non stop that’s when I see my cue to leave.
We’re talking about whether two Disney animated lions are actually related by blood.
That would be the proper thing to do. Not get bent out of shape because people aren't talking about what you want. I'm out when the art house films are talked about.
Because I do not want to be misunderstood as implying that adoptive or foster sibling relationships are somehow less valid than biological ones, let me state for the very last time that whether Scar and Mufasa are related by blood had nothing to do with the second point I was making. I offered about three clarifications to this effect, yet somehow people are still implying that I was saying something I wasn't.Give TP time…. I am sure he will update us on how much money Snow White is losing…
I will say I know someone who grew up in the foster system…. And has several brothers and sisters through that…. The way she talks about them… it is as if they are blood related…. In fact I thought they were at first…. It took me a bit to realize they were foster brothers and Sisters…. It’s not hard to imagine adopted brothers would grow up as though they are closely related
Anyway such issues don’t bother me…as I take each individual movie on it’s own terms
I agree it's off-topic, but all of us who contribute to this thread are guilty of straying into tangents from time to time. Some of those tangents are more interesting me than others; those I find boring I just skip, as you advise.
Honestly same. I don’t watch art house movies. Only difference is convos about art house films don’t last for pages and pages.
Not implying anything…. Just giving my own thoughts..and why it does not bother me in the least…. It is why I did not quote you
BTW, I don't know why this wasn't bigger news and discussed more. People complain about sequels, reboots, prequels, and all the rest but then don't show up when originals actually come out.

Those versions sound interesting. Too bad Disney doesn't have the guts to do either version.This is a bit of an annoying read because of the poor way in which it is written, but it was a random (or is my iPhone reading my posts here now?) Facebook post telling me about Disney movies that never got finished, such as Snow White 2, which was meant to be a straight to DVD release.
Apparently there were 2 previous versions of The Lion King, both written in 1990. There are entire screenplays. Side note: in neither of them were Scar and Mufasa related - but they are far different from the final version in many more ways than that.
King of the Jungle
King of the Jungle (or King of the Beasts) was a working title of The Lion King. In 2012, two screenplays were released: one written in January 1990 by J.T. Allen, and another one in May 1990 by Allen and Ron Bass. Both early screenplays are extremely different from what the final version is...

And catch a healthy case of Spring Fever and get out there and have some fun this weekend! (I'm going to be blasting this song with the top down in front of baggage claim, just to annoy my sister... 
)
Except as been told to you before your assuming that its a uniform 60/40 split across the board for all studios on all movies on all theaters (and specifically in all countries internationally) for its entire run, and that is not the case. For example, again something you've been told, Disney famously had a more generous 65/45 splits in years prior for the first week or two of release. Who knows what it is now, that is not something publicized. And that percentage drops off the longer a movie is in theaters. So even assuming its 60/40, its not 60/40 for the movies entire run.
