Apparently Disney has leaned heavily upon CafePress, a company infamous for the number of unauthorized designs they host (try searching for "Coca-Cola," "McDonalds," "Spiderman," etc. and then search for "Disney" or "Mickey Mouse." Hmm.)
These graphics are quite clearly parodies of the doofy optimism and cartoonish lameness that we all know and love. As parody, it's covered under the "fair use" doctrine of the U.S. Copyright law.
I understand the position CafePress is in. Disney has obviously plastered CafePress with cease and desist orders. "The squeaky wheel gets the grease" as they say.
Hmm. Maybe I'll just have to use Zazzle.
