Disney? No actors messed around with it! (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cartoonist

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'disney?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I can't see?

'no actors messed around with it' is the wordplay.
'messed around with' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'messing around' mean this).
'no'+'actors'='noactors'
'noactors' mixed up with 'it' makes 'CARTOONIST'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cartoonist that I've seen before include "Eg, Peter Brookes" , "Low" , "drawer" , "Heath Robinson, say" , "Strip artist?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
