Why John Lenon hated Disney so much?



It is said that at the beginning Beatles was asked to sing in this film but John Lenon said: "It's impossible for the Beatles to sing the damn Micky Mouse". Anyway why did John Lenon hate Disney so much?

Because of Song of the South?

I don't think John hated Disney personally I think at the time John was heavy on drugs and said that because he was so high cause later on I saw a photo of him in the late 1970s early 1980s wearing a Mickey Mouse shirt. Sometimes drugs can cause you to be mean even though you don't wanna be mean and say things you don't mean.

John Lennon was a talentless druggie anyway

My least likable Beatle, he was weird I guess. Marrying Yoko proved his poor taste.

I believe it was in the book "How to Be Like Walt" that I read about that, Walt wanted the boys to be the vultures and the other 3 were all for it, but stuck-up Lennon said "I'm not working for blankity-blank Mickey Mouse." The way the author italicized those words made me think that John had said something unprintable, but what do you expect? Look what he picked. He actually thought Yoko could sing. That hideous noise she makes couldn't be called singing on any planet in the universe.

You know what John Lennon really hated? People who couldn't spell his last name correctly, repeatedly.
