1. The musical film adaptation of ‘X’ was released by Walt Disney Pictures in
1964. Primarily based on the original 1934 novel of the same name, it also
lifted elements from the 1935 sequel ‘X’, Comes Back. The writer (Y) was an adviser in the
production, but ‘Y’ disapproved of the character in its Disney version, with harsher
aspects diluted; felt ambivalent about the music; and ‘Y’ so hated the use of animation
that any further adaptations of the series was excluded. ‘Y’ received no invitation to the
film's star-studded première. At the after-party, ‘Y’ said loudly "The first thing that has to
go is the animation sequence'." Disney replied, “______, the ship has sailed", and walked
away. ‘Y’ so disliked the Disney adaptation and the way ‘Y’ had been treated during the
production that when producer Cameron Mackintosh approached her years later about
making the British stage musical ‘Y’ acquiesced only on conditions that English-born
writers alone and no one from the original film production were to be directly involved.
