To quite a few, Disney already seems the distortion of something. Disney the man and the creator, not the company. Though I think Disney was more focused on transferring deviant fantasies to something outside of himself, to his creation, maintaining a certain degree of sanity as a person. After all, I think in his view he was a craftsman and a businessman before being an artist. I suppose Jackson was sort of attracted to that kind of perception of reshuffled childlike fantasy, as much as can be an adult who couldn't fully grow up and develop his person in directions considered healthy and normal, but differently from Disney, he absorbed everything and incorporated it in himself, becoming sort of parodic version of his former self: l'enfant prodige became a grotesque being; person and persona became one in spite of everything. That's something that made him lose contact with reality from a point on, and it would be thus for almost anybody.
