Disney has denied a father who is grieving for his 4-year-old son permission to place a Spider-Man picture on the toddler’s grave, because the company wants to preserve the “innocence” and “magic” of its characters, according to reports.

When the little boy, Ollie Jones, from Maidstone, Kent, in England, passed away in 2018 from a rare genetic disorder, his family gave him a Spider-Man themed funeral in memory of his love for Marvel, complete with red and blue balloons, reported SWNS via the Metro.
