American association of animation with children began decades ago. How do current Disney product offerings invalidate this? Heh, "The Wonderful World of Disney" was one of the few TV shows my censorious parents knee-jerk-approved of in the nineteen-seventies for my sisters and I. It was a major weekly event. (Anyone else remember "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes", "Now You See Him, Now You Don't", or "The Strongest Man in the World", all starring Kurt Russell and Joe Flynn?)
