Right, thank you.

I know a few digital artists who have worked over in the feature animation department over there, and a Disney contract is a frightening thing to behold. Basically I've been told that if you sign into one, put all other personal projects on hold until such time as you finish the contract and leave, as they are very, very good at claiming that anything you do while working for them is, in fact, theirs.

That and there's a dress code, and all of management does the permanent smile 'We're Disney, We're Happy!' thing all the time. My best guess is that the people who have popped and blown away co-workers there have been exquisitely covered up, because it has to have happened under those conditions.
