1. True
2. West Side Story
3. False. People have taken great liberties with the works of Shakespeare.
4.I would think that would be Titus Andronicus.

true

1. True
2. not sure, but Lady and the Tramp sounds like it might to me
3. False, Shakespeare is long-since dead, you can do what you want with his works, but most are seen as bastardizations. How can you improve perfection?
4. One again not sure, but if I had to guess it would be Hamlet.

1.) True. "Ten Things I Hate About You" was a rather liberal reworking of "Taming of the Shrew", for example.

2.) "West Side Story." The Sharks and the Jets stand in for the Montagues and the Capulets.

3.) False. They've been in public domain for centuries. "Forbidden Planet" is a sci-fi interpretation of "The Tempest."

4.) Titus Andonicus.
