Disney denier

My husband accuses me of hypocrisy, and he's right to. Disney's latest - trying to copyright "Día de los Muertos" (http://www.cartoonbrew.com/disney/digging-into-disneys-day-of-the-dead-problem-82956.html) - started a discussion between us. I wondered how Disney survived as a company; he pointed out that every time one of our children wanted to see a Disney movie, he said no and I said yes; and we watched it.

What's wrong with Disney? The company

1. sexualizes children;
2. took acres of beautiful natural land and turned it into an acquisition generator, where children are taught to want things that create a desire for more things;
3. They are - as the above-referenced article points out - culturally tone-deaf;
4. They stereotype, and perpetuate stereotyping.

The movies are beautiful. The theme parks are fun. Some parts are educational. But then, you have to do all that counter-programming!

And of course, they have nearly destroyed any hope of a sensible set of copyright laws, with their campaigns to extend their image protections essentially forever.

I know that criticizing Disney gets you awarded the "wet blanket of the year" prize. And maybe I'm just getting querulous as I age. I'd sure like to hear counter opinion! Bring it, people :)
