OMG, I’m now addicted to movie star Tom Truong’s TTYL lingo.

Comment on THE ORIGINS OF ‘THE LION KING’ by Charlie Fink

Since my name is mentioned above, I think I should correct the record. The idea of doing Bambi in Africa originated with the studio. We pitched it to several writers, including Tom. He wanted to a Shakespearean thing with the lions, so we let him take a swipe at it. Several others (staff writer Jenny Tripp? Kerry Kirkpatrick maybe?) also wrote little bits and scenes and treatments here and there, too. These were all discarded. JT Allen wrote the script that green lit the move. It was 100% his. Turning Scar into the scheming uncle, the Hamlet elements, were added by Ron Bass, who worked closely with JT on the final draft, like his Oxford don. Tom Disch was an animation story man, having worked on BLT, and was familiar with our process. He had no expectations, and the contract reflects that. Like all the artists who worked on the this project he was treated by me with great respect and honesty.

I enjoy this movie! The Lion King is the first animiation movie I ever “really” watched and it is actually now in my collection. The music, the plot and the humor makes this a best movie for anyone of all ages.

What a disgrace. How hard would it have been to give Tom Disch a “suggested by” or inspired by” credit, especially considering the 29 credited “writers”. Thank you for posting this.

After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a remark is added I get 4 emails with the same comment. Is there any method you possibly can remove me from that service? Thanks!
