Here's what I did with my sociolgy degree today... I just mailed this. I better get some sort of response.

Dear Walt Disney Corporation,
Due to the intense enthusiast my wife has been in your characters throughout her lifetime, and thus my recent reintroduction to many of your popular trademarks and symbols, it has dawned on me to question many of the held philosophies of the Disney universe. While it appears that most, if not all the characters in your realm are animals, how do you feel it is possible to basically turn the animal world upside down to simply create a colorful empire that in no way could ever exist?
First of all, Mickey Mouse is a mouse and Pluto is a dog. How could a mouse ever hold dominion over a dog? It would seem to be impossible, although I suppose it could happen. The fact that Mickey holds an enormous size advantage to most mice could probably gain him the mastery over Pluto. Still, what gave him this loftiness? Surely evolution could not have brought him to this state this quickly in any modern timeline…
If the fact that a mouse could have a dog as a pet is not insulting enough to Pluto, one begs to question another popular dogs stature in the Disney cosmos. Apparently Goofy is a dog as well. How did he evolve to the point where he can walk on two legs, and (though albeit, it appears he suffers from some sense of mental hindrance), have the ability to speak? How do you think this makes Pluto feel? What force freed Goofy to a life of freedom, though still works to hold Pluto in the bonds of slavery?
Finally it appears that some model of decency exists in this bizarre domain, as most of the characters wear some sort of clothing. I suppose that Pluto is free to roam naked as most pets are, and almost all of thee others are clad in pants. Donald Duck, however, must not have seen the ordinance demanding some sort of respect of moral ethics, as he is often seen running around with a violent temper and wearing only a modest jacket. If someone were acting this way in any other modern society, he would likely be jailed and dismissed as either insane, or at the very least, a deviant thug.
I would be very appreciative if you could answer these questions. I hold a bachelor of arts from an accredited university and majored in sociology with a concentration in criminology, and by all accounts this world you depict ignores all the theories of which I have ever studied. This civilization would eventually destroy itself if it could ever exist in the first place. It breaks nearly all rules of social interaction. What are we teaching our children? That pants are optional? That some classes of dogs are seemingly more advanced than others? That mice can grow to non-proportionate sizes? A timely answer to these questions would be most becoming of you as a gigantic corporation that probably has someone on staff to read things like this.
Sincerely yours,
