Let's give Disney qua Disney (as opposed to one artist somewhere, which is all we know for sure at this point) some time to respond before we unleash the mob.

Past history certainly gives a non-zero probability that Disney will just try to throw their weight around, but let's give them the chance to do the right thing before we bury them. It makes the moral outrage that much more moral.

Why should anyone give Disney more leeway than Disney gives natural persons they accuse of copyright infringement?

Because letting loose the Great Internet Mob is always something that should be done with a bit of due consideration, despite the fact that it is essentially impossible to do so. Mobs aren't made more intelligent by being on the Internet, and while they are physically defanged (well... mostly, anyhow) they can make up for the destructiveness in their scope.
