I say it was a travesty to tear down the homes of Disney's Leading Mice!!!!!

Heck! WE don't have no place ta call home when we's away from Morva, our own dang selves! An' I seen Merlin stretched out in a gutter on the mean streets a Orlando all the time!! (Ever since the poor sap got laid off from the Dizzy theme parks, he's had only that long, white beard a his ta keep him warm at nights! ORDDU: This certainly isn't your Daddy's Disney company anymore, is it? When it gets to the point where The Aristocats become alley cats--and Mickey's home in Florida is foreclosed upon--well, it's a very sad day indeed...
