> "Disney make films - as part of a filmmaking process we might want to know why they make film X and not Y, why they depict characters a certain way and not others. Are filmmakers limited or directed in any way? Enquiring minds would like to know. Presumably if you were to view Soviet or Nazi propaganda films, you wouldn't consider it off-topic to ask about their provenance, or if the political orientation of their sponsors was evident, and if that is morally acceptable. Do you think Disney is immune?"

What are you trying to say exactly? We also don't know why Chopin and Bach wrote their music the way they did. Why Picasso, Vincent, Da Vinci and others chose the motives they did, and painted the exact way they did. Are you bothered by that too?

The answer you're looking for is "artistic freedoms", but I get the feeling you're looking for "ulterior motives" instead.
