You're supposed to be funny?

Wow, this indictment of "the Disney vault" is great. Even the animation is pretty good; it's clearly made by people who love the Disney characters even as they poke at their masters. And here I'd say "no" if you were to ask me yetsrday if NBC would have the guts to air a (lengthy! and spot-on) parody of Mickey Mouse and other lawyer-encrusted properties for the purposes of mocking their creator and their corporation. Fairusetastic! (From joecab.)

Edit It's been yanked already. Anyone have an archived copy?

Wups... deleted already.

I'm not sure what they hoped to imply from using the term 'Disney Vault' but to me it implies they're either keeping some deep dark secrets .. or have a whole hoard of good stuff that they dangle in front of the starving masses periodically to satiate them.

Okay -- so they release a movie 'only for 6 weeks' or whatever (like Bambi II -- today's the supposed last day it's out). What do they do with all the extra unsold copies? Are they supposed to be returned to the vendors and destroyed? How many lazy store owners don't bother?

quick get it here before it's too late:

And I agree -- it's hilarious as well as spot on. I was shocked, too: every shady rumor about Uncle Walt himself made it into this thing.

Damn. Well try searching for "Disney Vault" at YouTube and another copy will pop up at some point. It's too funny to miss.

For the record, it was the "Saturday TV Funhouse" clip from this week's Saturday Night Live. I.e. the work of Robert Smigel, aka Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. SNL is doing a "Best of TV Funhouse" episode in two weeks so they might re-air it then.

The funniest/saddest part was seeing a bound-and-gagged Jim Henson (and Kermit) still alive inside the vault ("he wouldn't sell!"). Sigh...
