DISNEY IDEAS: BEFORE SETTLING ON "THE LORAX"

JUST PUBLISHED!! YOU'LL ONLY HEAR IT HERE @ THE BETHANITE!!!

Stolen from the Disney Vault, these storyboards were the top picks for the next Disney animated classic tale of environmental woe and redemption. Execs finally settled on the blasé production of "The Lorax", when Disney could not woo any of the following brands due to a ill-begotten afternoon of failed negotations, which hilariously ensued after a Disney attorneys liquid lunch.


1. OVER ALL WINNER: THE CLOROX*
"I speak for your dirty clothes. You need to shower more."


2. FIRST RUNNER UP: THE BORAX"I speak for the 40% of your body not made up of water."


3. SECOND RUNNER UP: THE XEROX "I speak for copiers everywhere. Your paper jams border on abuse. "


Apparently the Xerox idea would have gone way over budget, seeing as current market analysis shows that one gallon of printer/copier ink costs more than a gallon of blood, a definite nail in the roundtable coffin.

We find it terribly disheartening that Disney lacked the prudence to snatch up these could-have-been memorable children's NouveauClassics.
*see 2009 product placement Disney-Clorox deal, and then realize what a fiasco the negotiations must have been
