Disney, what are you doing? Can't you have any original ideas?

So two movie trailers that I just watched.

First, Inkheart, by New Line Cinemas, due to come out January 9, 2009.

Based on the best selling book of the same title, about a man who has the ability to bring to life any character he reads aloud from a book. One can imagine the chaos that ensues once he starts bringing characters to life.

Second, Bedtime Stories by Walt Disney Pictures due to come out at Christmas.

In this one, a man tells his nephews bedtime stories and whatever happens in the story comes true.

What the crap? I realize that these two movies will have very different storylines once they actually get going, but aren't they just a little too similar to be coming out at the same time? I mean, seriously, Disney, do you have to write stories that are loosely related to other stories out there and then release the movie at the same time? It all seems a little odd to me.......
