There are few totally original stories in the world.  If
you read the folklore scholar Joseph Campbell, you can see
that many of the worlds popular tales derive from a handful
of "ur"-legends.  The trick is in telling a story *well*
and Disney was a master story teller, right up there with
Shakespeare.
