While I love ambivalent's answer and was going to say a few of the same things, I also have to add that the stories that are being spoken of here, in their original written form were usually much, much darker than the Disney versions. I think he softened them, sometimes so much that the stories barely resembled the original that they were derived from. The Fox and the Hound is a book that I've seen make grown men cry. One man I loaned that book became an ex fox hunter immediately afterward. No kidding. I had read it years before it became a Disney cartoon. Bambi by Felix Salten is a much darker book, too as well. It is very much an adult novel and I highly recommend it to anyone who loves nature. It is as relevant to today, if not more so, than it was to the time and place it was written. The most dramatic departures from the text to book is in both the Fox and the Hound and of course, the Hunchback of Notre Dame, whose theme and storyline was something Disney couldn't really make into a G rated cartoon and keep true to the story. I think that perhaps while touching those themes, he tried to blunt the emotional pain in them, and often, in the process unfortunately the author's most intense messages are lost. I absolutely hated how he messed up the Fox and the Hound. While it was a fun cartoon for small children, it is a horrid caraicature of the wonderful book. I don't know anyone who read the book that wasn't disgusted by the cartoon treatment. So, I've learned that while he chose excellent books in which to base his films that the books are usually those in which he has removed the most emotionally charged and darker elements to change the story in significant ways. I wonder what THAT tells about his psyche?

Disney is a business and always has been. Every single thing they do is designed to maximize their profit. This has been true since the very first Mickey Mouse cartoon. It is also the American Way. The pursuit of profit has brought the world more positives than negatives, so don't knock it.
