Disney is a good example of a company that didn't grow up with their audience. I've always felt that they didn't offer any more 'grown up' type of entertainment until it was almost too late, I mean it's sort of weird for a 40 year old to watch mickey mouse, but it's not so weird for them to watch xmen.

They've got Kick Ass coming out soon; which was written by the dude that wrote Wanted (Mark 'I lick…
