Nah. Walt Disney was frozen at the time of his "death" to be thawed out when they figure out a cure for years of chain smoking.

Hell, where do you think they got the idea for the "Disney On Ice" shows?

Walt's not the only one running his business from the great beyond.

After that, the company turned out a remarkable string of animated hits, including "The Little Mermaid," "Beauty and the Beast," "Aladdin," and "The Lion King."

Just read this.
