My usual reminder to consider "The Mouse that Roared - Disney and the End of Innocence" by Henry A. Giroux and Grace Pollock https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/mouse-that-roared-9798216263937/ i.e. Disney is JUST a very large corporation that sells whatever it can (plastic toys, parks, movies, food, etc) thanks to intellectual property laws it reshaped to capture more and for longer period of time to the most influenceable segment of the population, namely kids.

Disney is bad. This just makes it marginally worst. They don't care, they just want to exploit kids more.
