The meaning of a property to "belong" to an entertainment conglomerate
Having said all that, moving away from Disney is not a new phenomenon. People "move on" from Disney and other large franchises all the time, even people who don't wish to or lack the ability to create.
I couldn't grasp what I might have called "Disney people" back when I grew up feasting on cartoons in the late 1960s and early 1970s. To me the animation seemed second rate compared to other offerings, and the stories/humor too tame (the 1970s term was "lame"..). Disney offerings seemed about half a step up from "Speedy Racer", if ya know what I mean.... ;-)
Disney reminds me of Apple (computer): not nearly worth the extra cost, and yet do adherents walk around glassy-eyed aglow that they own an Apple this, or have seem some Disney that.
I've purchased exactly one Apple product, and while that Macbook Pro seemed "slick" for a season, it's the only computer I've ever owned that went utterly "brick up" on me - and *far* sooner than its price suggested it should.
