Hey MoonMarc21! I didn't know you were Jewish, or Christian, whichever religion you are!
I just wanted to give some feedback. So, I think the Esther story sounds really cool actually, and it is kinda Disney Princessy, but...Disney would never adapt a Biblical story as a Disney Animated Classic. Unlike Dreamworks, Disney has a brand that is, though loved by Christians, something that tries not to alienate families with each movie they do, and making something that is from any kind of religious book would alienate families of certain beliefs that don't align with whatever religion that book is a part of. Walt Disney himself chose not to put imagery of Mary in his "Ave Maria" section of Fantasia because he deemed it too religious. Yes, he had Chernabog, who is supposed to be the devil, but he let him be in his movie because he also worked as just any kind of demon, one that could be from the Bible that people believe is true, or one that people think is made-up and can just be found in fantasy. I know it may not seem to make sense, but most of the world seems to kind of believe in God and the Devil generally, but not in things like Jesus or Mary.
As for the other story, the same too-religious argument applies, and also the poop in the eye and guts from the monster fish would probably be deemed too gross or gory for a Disney film, and if Disney tried to change those elements, they may get too many people complaining Disney messed with what they consider a sacred story.
But, those stories may make great animated films from a studio other than Disney!
