Perhaps, but I find this component worth contemplating further. Is Disney, by virtue of being "Disney" condmended to eternal uncoolness in the American market? How is it that cartoons became the exclusive medium of children here? Is that the bridge that has to be gapped in order to make Disney Cool? Is Disney music necessarily "cartoonish?" Must Disney create or aquire other brands (i.e. Touchstone, Buena Vista, MiraMax, ESPN, etc.) in order to achieve a sort of Trojan Horse coolness?

I don't dispute GDs claims, but I think there's far more to explore here than statements of assumed fact.
