Why he might be annoying:

    He was branded anti-semitic.
    He is known for having himself frozen after his death, although in fact he actually was not frozen.
    An employee at Disney Studios said: 'If you contradict him, you're out. Nothing is really funny until it's proclaimed funny' (1950's).
    Alfred Hitchcock said of him: 'If he didn't like an actor, he could just tear him up.'
    During World War II, he relied on government contracted propaganda films to keep his Disney Studio afloat.
    He angered classical music fans when he released 'Fantasia,' because they felt that his dancing animated animals cheapened the music.
    He owned the only animation studio with the right to use Technicolor, due to an exclusive agreement with the patent holder (Natalie Kalmus - 1931).
    He was anti union.

Why he might not be annoying:

    His company signifies family entertainment.
    He is an American rags to riches story (he was born into poverty).
    He learned to merchandise his characters for massive profits.
    He originated the use of storyboards to plan a production (a valuable step in modern TV and filmmaking, including commercial advertisements).
