The sinister grip that Disney exerts on children's imaginations may
finally loosen

If Comcast's takeover of the Disney Corporation goes ahead, the
world's biggest media conglomeration will be built around one of
humankind's most ancient practices. Investing animals with human
characteristics is something we've been doing since we first applied
charcoal to the walls of a cave. Ten thousand years later, as the
$500m we have just spent watching Finding Nemo suggests, we still see
ourselves as animals and animals as ourselves.
