The Lorax and the Borrowers: Indoctrination?

The Disney corporation has bought up movie rights to two children's classics of the twentieth century, Dr. Seuss's The Lorax and Mary Norton's series that began with The Borrowers.

If you scroll through the review down to the poll, you'll find that a majority of people who read "The Blaze" think these films are indoctrinating a generation of "Occu-toddlers":

Hmm. I know Disney movies can stray pretty far from the original book, and I've not seen the movies. However, I liked The Lorax and The Borrowers as a child, and those books have not made me an "Occupier."
