Disney is celebrating its centenary, and its icon, Mickey Mouse, has entered the public domain. There are those who despise Disney, but I am not one of them. If you are going to attack corporate capitalism, there are a lot better targets, and, as for the allegations of racist and sexist stereotypes, Disney has at least tried to grow with the times, revising the content of its cartoons and standing up for the ideal of inclusiveness in its parks enough to provoke the ire of Ron DeSantis. Any company that outplays and embarrasses DeSantis is surely deserving of at least one cheer.
