I’d love to see a verifiable quote from Disney on that. If he wasn’t comfy with the scene, he could have ordered it changed. He only owned the darn park.
Saw it quoted from a book in a tweet awhile ago (I’ll see if I can track it down). Obviously in the end he decided to move forward with it, but if he was initially skeptical of it decades ago, it’s not so insane to think that maybe some of that skepticism is just as (if not more) justified now.
