It wouldn't surprise me if you were remembering Disney's actions clearly.
While they do produce good films (especially if you aren't aware of the original context/culture that they were taken from), their continual assault on the public domain really pisses me off.
Mangle the stories all you want, though we'd prefer you didn't (you are, after all, profit driven first and foremost, and happy endings obviously sell better), but don't prevent other people from telling the same stories their way.
Sorry, this whole thing just pushed several of my hot buttons... :-/
