Director Michael Moore is laughing in the face of Disney bosses, after his controversial film Fahrenheit 9/11 went on to reap more cash then any of the company's movies this year.

The film, which takes a scathing look at US President George W Bush and the war on Iraq, recently became the first ever documentary to cross the $100m (？3m) mark.

And while Moore is elated with the success, he remains aware of the company's move to block subsidiary MIRAMAX from distributing the film - and its recent string of flop films.

He says: "I don't wanna say too much bad about Disney because the film has now made more money than any Disney film this year.

"Most people go to work and you've gotta put up with a lot of c**p and you get screwed every now and then, and you never see the boss man ever get his comeuppance. To have that happen, in this case with me, it is enjoyable."
