Provided that personally I think it wouldn't matter, just like it didn't matter to me in the retelling of the originally England-based Arthurian myth (we had good actors, good actresses, and that's all that matters), I still know my interent and how people can't wait to go ballistic over that stuff. Which is why I hope they don't do The Lion King, which honestly if it's not talking animals, it's rather pointless. I don't think it will be Hamlet, don't think it will draw people.

I kind of hope they will be original characters based on Brothers Grimm, but I begin to doubt it. It might be either something to do with Aladdin or the Princess and the Frog, since they are kind of the only Disney movies they haven't done yet.
