So....WHY did you snip the bit about Disney animator Clarence Muse being
fired from the company--for "artistic differences" with the management
over character depictions--and letters to the NAACP originating from one
very suspiciously coincidental source (despite a memo from NAACP
screeners saying they found "little objectionable" about the movie)?

....It's details like that that enliven a story, you know.
