I love Disney in that I love the Disney cartoon classics. But the constant pushing down my throat everywhere I turn the Disney stars from the Disney channel is sickening.

Though I suppose those with younger kids, having role models like Hannah Montana, Lizzy McGuire and a few along that line are much better than other supposed role models the kids have to follow.

Back when kids watched movies on VHS, I was apalled at the length of commercials before the movie I paid for! Disney was by far the worst offender in that regard.

Disney may be a shameless marketing machine, but they put out really good songs. I've had that song from Brother Bear going through my head for days....*hums to herself 'tell everybody I'm on my way, new friends and new places to see...'* Koda is adorable!
