Bad journalism (yes, yes it's a blog, but still!):
"The press has quoted one of the executives as saying that their characters will be bigger than Mickey Mouse - That is uncharacteristic statement by a company that is patient, persistent and focused on customers and the long-term"
And yet, that's not the quote.
The loosely attributable quote is of exec Peter Vesterbacka saying "We WANT to be bigger than Mickey Mouse." as validation for taking their huge round of funding.
Key word for the article's analysis is "WANT".
I'm calling it out here because even on the dailyartifacts site they originally got the quote right in a previous story:
