My wife and I were really just kids in grown-up bodies. We loved Disney movies, even into the age it would probably be considered creepy. Older Disney, though, like 90's and prior. Not Frozen. I will NOT be Letting Anything Go (although I could be persuaded to Let It Be, but that's McCartney, not Disney).
I've found it hard to watch Disney since last October. It doesn't help that damn near every single movie involves the death of a loved one. Simba beside a dead Mufasa made me tear up, even before I lost my wife. So now, I don't even have the balls to turn on the film. And it will be decades before I can once again watch the first act of UP, and even then, I'm sure I'll cry gallons. Disney is ruthless with those feels.
But, as long as I possibly can, I'll still hang on to the childish parts of me. My love for my wife is in there. If I stop liking Disney entirely, then I'd feel like a neo-Nazi, just like Walt was. I guess you can have hate in your heart and still make beautiful art. Or at least hire folks who can make beautiful art. Which is good, because I definitely have hate in my heart, though certainly not for anything so small-minded as anti-Semitism. I don't discriminate - I hate the everything.
