...wouldn't be the Jackson family without sniping from LaToya, who first intimated that her brother might be faking it but, on hearing the doctors' reports, reversed herself. The concert was postponed, and Jackson's condition was improving, thanks clearly in part to the posters of Shirley Temple, Walt Disney and Topo Gigio that were brought to his room. Meanwhile, the besieged hospital set up a hotline with a taped message detailing Jackson's condition, updated daily and offering an opportunity for the word stable to be used in describing...

It's a debate that crops up regularly, most recently over the firebug antics on the MTV cartoon show Beavis and Butt-head and the traffic-dodging pranks in Disney's 1993 film The Program.

...chicken feather on a stick, and the young John Cage as an assistant, he moved exposure by exposure through a film whose vigor belies none of this inch-work. His use of symphony music and the theatrical quality of his compositions lend his short films the feel of Disney's famous concert feature, "Fantasia," which he worked...
