So totally with you - hell, that meeting needs its very own documentary. Although John Lassetter isn't the only one to blame, because they've done the whole make-male-characters-sexier thing before. Can't remember where I heard it (maybe the DVD bonus features), but when they were making Aladdin, when they ditched the mother/son angle that was originally a big part of the story they purposely aged Aladdin up and based some of his features on celebrities to make him more appealing to women as a romantic lead. His smile, for example, is based on Tom Cruise (of course, this is Top Gun/Risky Business/Cocktail!Tom Cruise, not modern crazy!Tom Cruise).
