In Disney’s defence

In Disney’s defence

I disagree with what Sonya Dutta Choudhury has to say with regard to Disney (‘Why Mickey Mouse makes me mad’ June 14). All Disney characters such as Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Aladdin & Snow White have been great entertainers. Generations have grown up enjoying Disney comics & cartoons. The writer is being unfair with her objections regarding Disney because of the “spider & fly” anecdote. This analogy can also be applicable to the Harry Potter series, where hype played an important role in making the books so popular. Even die-hard fans will admit to a feeling of déjà vu in the later instalments of Harry Potter.
