Mouse-dropping

The act or result of Disney (or another comparable company) actively exercising executive influence over the content of one of its acquired properties, usually to make things more kid-friendly or to plug other Disney (or another comparable company's) properties behind your back. Can also be used in the past or future tense (mouse-dropped, will mouse-drop). Can be spelled "maus-dropping" to emphasize an overt mouse-dropping situation.
