That is a quirky one off. I actually support odd-balls like this, it is like
the guy in Oxford who has a shark rising out of his roof[**], if done everywhere
it would not be acceptable.

The copyright extension of Peter Pan does benefit a hospital, it does not cause
major problems to the theatre/book/... worlds and so I think is acceptable.
