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

'disney figure liking' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'men and women in this spot' is the wordplay.
'men and women' becomes 'bi' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'this spot' becomes 'here' (I've seen this in another clue).
'bi' put inside 'here' is 'HERBIE'.

Can you help me to learn more?
