You clearly are both intelligent and educated, so please don't be offended when I say you come across like an ignorant, closed-minded snob. You have bought into an extreme (and incorrect) negative view without so much as a fair and unbiased personal opinion. Dismissing anything Disney does as uninteresting because you don't have children demonstrates an absurd degree of bigotry.

Anyway, it's clear that your mind is made up on the matter, and nothing I say on an internet message board is going to change that. I'll simply say that it is sad that someone so clearly passionate about both the art and science of performance can be so willingly blind.
