Oh, Disney, did you really expect there wouldn't be backlash from this?

To be fair, it's entirely possible to trademark certain words in any language in specific contexts to protect your business interests.

It really matters how Disney would enforce that trademark.

I'm not saying that those who have leveled the complaint don't have a point. I'm saying that Disney isn't without a valid defense as long as it constrains itself to enforcing their trademark on Lion King related clothing.
