| @Andy: Walt Disney was NOT anti-Semitic! Please stop perpetuating de-bunked urban *myths*. No, he's not frozen either, but that's not a slanderous remark like the anti-semitic one is. The truth is that when America entered WWII the Disney Studios stopped making animated feature films and instead turned out more anti-Nazi films than any other single studio. On Dec. 8 Walt contacted the War Dept. and offered his studios for whatever they needed & wound up making films for every branch of the U.S. military, in addition to films for our allies' countries. He gave up nearly a decade of almost-guaranteed huge profits by doing so. Bambi was made before the U.S. entered the war and the next full-length animated feature film wasn't released by Disney until 5 years after the war -- in 1950! When Americans were looking to H'wood for "feel good" films to get them through the war, Disney could have been raking in the dough, but instead he made films like "Der Fuehrer's Face" and "Education for Death- The Making of a Nazi". He also hired, worked with, dined with and socialized with a large number of Jewish people. This is all well-documented, as is the de-bunking of the sad, pathetic old myth that you seem to still cling to. Learn history accurately before making slanderous remarks, please! |
