even when i was a kid, disney always meant lameness. not lame as in bad, i enjoyed some of their films, but lame as in you'd never openly admit to one of your mates that you watched them.
looney tunes at least had a slither of edge, but mickey was lame, mini was lame, goofy was lame. only incel donald had anything about him. disneyland was lame. it's where you wanted to go when you were (two years younger than current age), alton towers was where it was at, they had proper rides there instead of lame baby characters trying to touch you up.
that lameness has stuck. disney's association with something immediately moves it into that lame "teachers would be fine with you watching this on the last day of school as a treat", even films that were decent like the first PotC were tainted by it.
it pervades through everything they do. everyone can enjoy disney films which is sort of the point, but if you absolutely love most of what they do then you're just fucking lame.
