What ever will Disney make of this?

Extremely depressing!

The BBC article stated 'Weston is bracing itself for crowds.'

Really?

I think its brilliant! It will also be massive, Im not surprised they are preparing for crowds. I know it looks extremly depressing to some but art is always subjective isnt it? but I love it and would love to go and have a look! I love anything Banksy does

I love Banksy allot and I'm really sad to be missing this!

I do however see the depressing side of this... But you have to admit... The Cinderella carriage crash is absolutely amazing! Think it perfectly depicts how the press act nowadays!

What sprung to my mind immediately was the law suits that Disney have raised when playgroups copy their characters without permission. I guess this show either has permission or has otherwise got around any potential legal hazards.

It's all about being done as satire. It's how Banksy gets around the copyright. It's perfectly legal in the UK, and disney can't do anything about it.

I live in Bristol, so loads of my friends have been / are going, but I can't bring myself to do it. I love Banksy's work usually, but disney is too much a part of me. I've seen pictures though. Some if the exhibits are going over the line if you ask me though. (I'm aware it's not all Banksy)
