Talk:The Black Friday Incident/@comment-4849011-20141012003110

There's something I don't understand about this story. Disney is noted for bowdlerizing (removing objectionable content from) sources in its adaptations. I remember when their animated version of Hercules came out there was an article about all the things they had changed. Why then would Disney tell someone that a film needed to be edgier? I may be able to appreciate this story more if this question is answered.

I do like the message that terrible things can happen if you're too demanding and push people too hard. It's also interesting how the Disney exec was so nonchalant, or maybe he was just stunned by how things turned out.
