The Happiest Place on Earth

"Walt, please, be reasonable."
"Roy. This is my legacy."
The younger brother fumed. "No, Walt, this is his legacy. The man born with your name on that world."
"He got Fantasia to turn a profit!" Walt slammed a maquette of Mickey Mouse against a filing cabinet. He paused in regret, then dismissed it. He still had the molds from "The Sorceror's Apprentice" to get one recast.
"It took him 20 years to do it, and he almost didn't live to see it turn in the numbers you want for it!" Roy pleaded. "We've got to find a way to get the studio profitable enough to survive this war coming on, and your art project won't cut it!"
A faint tinkling, as of chimes, filled the air. Unnoticed by the two arguing men, a golden light hovered momentarily over the shards of painted pottery, resolving into a faintly glowing woman with dragonfly wings no more than 6 inches high. She tutted mutely, shaking her head in fond exasperation at Uncle Walt before pulling out a wand she'd been given by Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather. She tapped the tiny stick trailing pixie dust on the shards and woke the nascent spirit within before it dissipated.
Tinkerbell du Clochette hoped that waking Mickey here instead of back "home" would have the desired effect. 'After all,' she thought, 'someone has to keep that silly little ass in line. We need Walt as much as he needs us.' She scanned the room and squealed silently in delight as she found a Tether to reside in. She rose up and Bonded with Walt Disney's copy of J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan. It might not be as comfortable as the special edition blu-ray combo pack she had been summoned from, but it had a lot more mystic oomph.
She giggled as spectral music that would only be heard by the particularly Talented began to play: A slightly off-key whistle as the thoughtform of Mickey Mouse coalesced behind the arguing Disney brothers.
