I noticed that, too, the heavy reliance by the author upon a single source. 
To me, without adding much, he was merely writing a book to make money 
himself.  He probably was sincere, but we need to be ready to discern 
anything and everything for what it really is.  Probably the thing I learned 
most from the book was to see the 'slippery-slope' in things Disney.  It's 
fun, for example, to watch Fantasia, but then, also, we need to remind 
ourselves that just like with drinking, it can lead down the slippery slope 
to alcoholism and witchcraft.  Because I'm more sensitive to things 
un-Biblical, I see it more than most in things Disney. But, we are to love 
the person and hate the acts, not hate the person and love their acts. Like I 
said before, Disney isn't perfect and as long as we Christians realize it and 
are careful, we can enjoy what is good about things Disney. There's enough 
PG-13, R and NC-17 being done, so I agree Disney should focus on G and Family 
entertainment!  A very good example of what is good about Disney, from the 
Christian perspective, was their Candlelight Processional program at EPCOT.  
My wife and I really enjoyed that Christmas program!
