Is it an issue, though? I would say def if they had been doing that with someone else's material, but their own is their own to do with, right?

My sister married the son of "Judge" Whitaker, a Disney animator from 1939 through 1953 (see: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0924279/ for more info).

If he were still alive I'd love to get his take on it.

Always walk a mile in someone else's shoes before you judge him. That way, when you judge him, you'll be a mile away! And you'll have his shoes!

He (sister's husband) and his brother discovered that if you light an animation cell on fire it burns like flash paper. And there were boxes full in the garage. One at a time they burned cells from things like Peter Pan, Cinderella, old Donald Duck cartoons... probably about a million dollars worth.

My sister's husband passed away from cancer several years ago. Not that long after his father I suppose. My sister still has a couple of framed cells on her wall, along with a letter from Walt Disney to her father-in-law shortly after Peter Pan was released.
