As much as I love this movie (probably the best truly Disney movie in a LONG time) I think the advertising that they used shows what Disney thinks of their old ones. Taking something that was beautiful and making a mockery of it. With all the cheapquels etc. who could say this isn't true?

lol. When this came out I was 12 and was, truthfully, excepting a good parody of those movies using characters from them. Sadly, I was wrong and was very disappointed. Re-watched it recently, and I still don't think it is that good. The Iron Giant is much MUCH better as is all of the Disney Pixar movies (I can't say Cars is though, since I haven't seen it).

Pretty sure Iron Giant isn't Disney/Pixar. It's listed as a Warners Bros. Production. However, Brad Bird worked on both The Incredibles and Iron Giant.
shareWell, it isn't really. I mean, I felt the same way, and I thought that it was something that I wanted to see. Then I saw it and I get what the advertising was trying to say.
Ok, so the movie is about family. Using other Disney movies is an analogy to the Disney "family" of characters, and he is joining the family. The little bonus feature about how Stitch has always been trying to get into Disney movies makes that a little more clear. He almost comes off as the little brother and all the olders "siblings" i.e. Ariel, Aladdin, Belle, and the Lion King cast are sorta telling him to "get his own room". Does that make sense?
So, it isn't really making a mockery, but I can definitely see where it can be percieved that way. The advertising department really isn't all that great.
