But just as the earlier depiction of Disney as unpretentious was misleading, this too may be a false dichotomy, one that serves the warring factions but does some injustice to Disney himself by shoehorning him into categories into which he doesn't really fit, and one that does some injustice to the variety and depth of American popular culture as well.

I'm confused... do you guys not like disney? :confused:

If I'm going to be honest, I admit that I've watched and enjoyed some Disney produced stuff. I'm sure I'll be visiting Disneyworld in Florida at some point in the next few years. However, as an organisation they make my skin crawl. Much of what they promote is typical of the modern day corporate world. Their cynical, moneygrabbing, fake-innocence leaves an extremely unpleasant taste in my mouth, as does their distortion and interference with much children's classic literature.

They are Hollywoods version of aspartame.
What do you mean "we", have you got a mouse in your pocket?
