But that also means that going back to the original isn't going to be very close to the Disneyfied versions in most cases; people want to watch Ariel live happily ever after, not commit suicide, or hear the Let it Go song and see sisters supporting each other rather than the (unrelated) friendship of the original and hearts turning to ice.
Personally I prefer the original stories most of the time, but they're not really interchangeable given the level of alteration Disney generally layers into their adaptations.

That I agree with. Disney's adaptations aren't good adaptations of the original. But to say that they are of the same quality level of the low-budget schlock Duckie linked to is not true.
