Oh man, the Disney art department is (or at least was, in the hand-animation days) a brutal factory. My wildly-talented cousin (nationally recognized, blah blah blah) was offered a job there in his early 20s, and he was suitably excited until he was told that his position would be "blue." As in, he'd get to fill in all the blue parts of the drawings. Meanwhile, there were guys who were pissed off because they'd been there for years and were still coloring in neon-orange, or vomit-green, and here this young upstart had been given blue right out of the gate! He didn't take the job.
