barnabas_trumanI just watched Disney's Hercules and found it very disappointing. I knew it was going to flay the mythology alive, set it on fire, and then roll around in the remains, but beyond that it was also a really bad movie. Anyway, it got me thinking: what if Disney made a movie applying its usual plot-butchery to, say, American history?
Opening Narration:
One fateful Fourth of July in 1776, beneath a night sky lit by fireworks, our great nation's four fathers--Presidents Lincoln (Tom Hanks), Washington (Billy Crystal), Jefferson (Jeff Goldblum), and Columbus (Danny DeVito)--convened in the National Archives to inscribe the Declaration of Constitution. The magic they bound into this powerful scroll raised the lost continent of America from below the waves and freed all the slaves that had been trapped therein. One of these was a young monk of royal birth known as King Martin Luther (Eddie Murphy). This... is his story.
