JOHN SING-A-LONG RESURRECTED BY UNCLE WALT'S MEN

Pixar have an unblemished track record of animated hits, so you'd imagine if they dropped an idea they were developing like it had moved unexpectedly and smelled of fish, that would be a pretty good indication that it was a bad one.

Nevertheless, the other bits of the Disney empire think they know better, so Miramax has rummaged in the Pixar bins and given a fresh life to the proposed Elton John musical Gnomeo and Juliet. Which is Shakespeare retold by gnomes.

Actually: gnomes. Shakespeare. Elton John. Even if it didn't have a 'rejected by Pixar' label stamped to it, you wouldn't, would you?
