>Anyway, even as a kid I had my complaints about Disney's stuff - of the two scientists he had among the regular characters, one was an absentminded nut, and the other was more of an inventor, with the only purpose to have most of his inventions backfire. Other characters were equally predictable, even for a kid, and after a while I started protesting the immutability of their roles - they kept coming back to what they were, never learning anything - and we were supposed to learn something from them?

>Later, I just forgot about Disney completely, until those two boring years when our youngest was watching Disney channel - that's about how long it took her to see what's wrong and shun it. Just another money grabbing corporation, nowadays. That Andersen guy was a moron, who didn't know he should write sequels to his stories, so they had. Phew.

Are you sure your youngest didn't just 'grow out of' the Disney shows? :o) Sure it's a money grabbing corporation, but it's an organization that makes wonderful children's movies. What did you rather your child watch? Terminator movies? :o)
