Will you evaluate Walt Disney's personality and his political views is correct, you have to prune first of all the literature about him, the extreme positions. Bye-bye from his company ironed descriptions of the ever-smiling, only for his dream of living fairy tale, which seemed to consist of cotton candy. And I hope never to see each, their blatant provocation to Profit with drooling trash works such as "Hollywood's Dark Prince". If
ignores the distorting extreme descriptions of Walt Disney and forgotten, nothing remains spectacular. As much as the haters of the Disney Group and the cynical, is disappointing for shade in the confectioner world seeking modern society was Walt Disney ... the average American. Not in his life's work, his ambitions or his talents. But in his political identity. Where, then stir
the never-ending rumors, Walt Disney and a racist anti-Semite would have been? Amid Amidi has with possibly his Cartoon Brew -contribution law, and it is because of the supposed fun, modern satirist, to destroy a blessed Image - Combined with the naivete of many young media consumers. However, they must have their roots somewhere. Can it be that Walt Disney before the Committee on Un-American Untriebe and in the company of members of the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideal (a company with which he sympathized because of their anti-communist stance, until it is in the 50s distanced from her as they took him an unpleasant nascent face) mindless, filthy comments expressed on Jewish (former) employees? As usual in fact anyone who speculates today about Walt Disney's political views, I was not there, but it is quite possible. And not approve.
exposure must always be considered sophisticated to distinguish knowing from "from today's perspective, politically incorrect," "insensitive" and "racist / anti-Semitic." A (now hypothetical in Walt Disney's mouth down) statement like "I think this cursed Jew was part of a communist conspiracy, to burst my studio from the inside", from today's perspective, politically incorrect, was already extremely insensitive. However, it was not anti-Semitic. One has to consider that the social values and manners changed, and at that time were Jewish caricatures, the special exposing the Jewish faith a person to the agenda. The increasing political correctness, and of course the Holocaust, the vocabulary has improved the post-war generations. It is now happily impossible, an annoying person who happens to be Jewish, as "dirty Jews" to refer to. Some decades ago, but no one pulled boundary between such abuse, and still used and teasing of overweight people. If, for example on the supermarket checkout, a thick contemporary of his cash counts, and counts and counts ... there are certainly many think "Wow, you fat sack, make out". Some would even say it. This is not well brought up - but would hardly be a political Affair being taken, because one reason alleged prejudice against the obese population has. Who knows, maybe eventually, our use of language awareness in this regard until now can movies like Eddie Murphy Norbit (yes, the strip I'm not as fast at rest) on television run without soon ethical policy discussions in the media are out. Just because Walt Disney
sometimes used a vocabulary that would cause in today's society, shaking his head, he was not anti-Semitic. The story goes that, as Walt Disney in the lunch break on some projects, spoke and then the conversation with a joyous "I'll speak about it with my Jews!" left. Because the law of his trust, of which this issue is the Anekdorte was Jewish, and he should clarify the issue. By no means a word choice that befits the good storyteller. From a contemporary point of view still acceptable. Here the use of pre-Holocaust generation crosses with Judaism with a flippant underlining, a minority quality of a familiar human. Alternatively, you can imagine that John Lasseter's wedded and estimated attorney is gay, and happily announces Lasseter. "I'll ask my warm brother what he thinks about it" Politically correct? Hmmmrmpf. Homophobic? Well times do not overdo it - if he understands so well with his attorney ... In familiar to him some day beer bellies patted: "Well, my fatties ..." It depends on the person, the context and the relationship to the raised edge group. As well as the intonation. Quentin Tarantino also brings in many times in his scripts, the word "nigger", and yet I know refused to date no African-Americans to work with him.
until the early 40s were stereotypical Jewish caricature for cartoonists something completely normal. You know, the image of the nosy, bearded man with ringlets. Such drawings were found in daily newspapers, in Cartoons all studios, including those of the (Jewish) Warner Bros. The fact that the image of the bristle disguised as a Jewish seller evil wolf Walt Disney will be added to today is just a witch-hunt to explain themselves with innocent reputation breasts be Group. The connection, which see some would seem, at first clear: The villain disguises himself as Jew Watch, that is, the filmmakers Jews as evil. A naive statement. The Bad Wolf tries to enter the hotel of the three little pigs to gain by posing as a brush salesman. The sense of humor of the 30s saw it as amusing, to reach into the stereotype box: At the time, many traveling salesmen of the Jewish faith, that is, the evil wolf sells not as any representative, but as a Jewish representative. Similarly, a good, timeless wit, as an anti-Semitic statement. After all, we learned at Disney to the visual element and returned later under the carpet, avoiding the repetition of such errors. When Donald Duck anno 1948 as sales brush around the houses moved, he got thanks to Ajax magic pills missed a new voice, but no Schäfenlocken.
or misery on Song of the country ... What should we get excited as a connoisseur of the so hotly debated film still large, this controversy has brewed Disney himself. By hiding the film from the public, you fire the conjecture only, rather than to save face. The Oscar-winning film is mixed, contrary to numerous false information in the wide world of the Internet, not at the time of slavery and the displays to their fate happy living cotton pickers. What the film can be guilty is naive. Wants in the aftermath of the Civil War settled in family production, saccharinsauer, the story of an age and racial boundaries tell overcoming friendship. If you play devil's advocate (I better save the term shyster), it is certainly unfortunate that you also on the long-serving morality rail "Better poor and warm, as rich and crotchety" drives, as this "can Packt you prejudices aside, all people are friends" in combination with the theme and the historical setting of Song of the country provides a soft-washed world view. Nevertheless, one must be very crotchety, assume the filmmakers to necessarily racism.
What I was then finally blow up the palm are those supposedly brilliant discoveries of subliminal messages in movies like The Jungle Book . King Louie is a monkey that sings that he would be a happy man. He sings swing - a black music! So ... are black in the eyes of the Creator movie (Notably, of course, always only Walt Disney, because who else knows any Flachhpfeifen who work long hours to produce it, a second of a children's film, so päääh!) No people! Hossa ...! Well, I'd rather say that those who want to necessarily see any monkeys in film history an African-Americans are the true racists, but we do let the challenge again from the outside. The Jungle Book should get through the music a contemporary flair. Jazz and swing were in. What would be obvious, as the emerging sequences for one and a half monkeys to sing a jaunty swing number? Many swing musicians were (are) holding African-Americans, and since the hit rate, the Orang-Utan to have suddenly set to music by an African-American, quite high. One would only today to film the idea The Jungle Book (very free-thinking) and to introduce modern music, even some genius in the management would ask what hip-hop artist had just time. Zack, was suddenly 50 Cent King Louie. Uuuuh, this racism.
Finally, the most outrageous of all the politically-inspired Walt Disney Rumors: The man is a Nazi sympathizer have been. Precisely for this reason he was also the producer behind some of the most far-American propaganda films such as Der Fuehrer's Face or Education for Death ... Forgive me that I completely so late in the flaming, essay-inspired post fall into the sarcasm, while recently had the reason the upper hand. Just this is probably the dumbest of all rumors. If the accusation of anti-Semitism, although wrong, from today's perspective, because of some (semi-protected) traditions of Walt Disney still almost understandable, as the wording changed since then enormous, and the racist rumor because of such things as the Jungle Book rather amusing-conspiratorial that fascism theory is simply ridiculous. You really should not comb through with a magnifying glass Walt Disney's creation, to put this suggestion out of power. Gee whiz, the cinema project, worked on the Walt Disney in the Post- Fantasia era with probably the greatest zeal meant Victory Through Air Power . A non-fiction film that painstakingly explained how you can bomb through the use of long-haul aircraft the Nazis to the afterlife. A copy was sent to Winston Churchill and Franklin Roosevelt, and (known eingschworenen Disney fans through his many excuses for politically incorrect gags in the treasures -DVD set) according to some animation historians, including Leonard Maltin, to Roosevelt after viewing the film for the use of such aircraft very precisely have.
Not to forget that with Saludos Amigos and Three Caballeros (home of for me best Disney songs of all time and the most brilliant cinematic drug trip of Disney history ) two entries in Disney's masterpieces canon alone were therefore because Walt Disney and a select crew of loyal employees a goodwill tour of Central and South America took. Mission objective: firstly to build sympathy for the U.S., thereby increasing the Nazi / fascist tendencies of these countries should just be broken ... and on the other hand, the development of new markets, after the loss of European Cinema culture for the survival of the studio were essential. Well, you already noticed: ranked first for Walt Disney's vision. What is guaranteed yet about his political views: he was a proud patriot and tended to the Republican Party. No one knows but he maybe once in between the elected Democrats, however, we know that he was related to a campaign button for Barry Goldwater. While the Democratic President Lyndon B. Johnson the Medal of Freedom was awarded. Something tells me that Walt Disney animal would have understood well by Jerry Bruckheimer ...
Walt Disney was the one must admit, not the clean man looks like his company in it. Especially during the strike in 1941 and immediately afterwards he was extremely paranoid. For years he lived in, a bed hardly broken, enthusiastic work environment that was his dream, suddenly everything to collapse. Added by the world war fueled, cold world politics as well-Strengthening Entrepreneurship climate and throughout the U.S. (and especially Hollywood) dominant Communists fear, and we have a man in his forties, the ill-considered before a committee, makes some unsubstantiated allegations of renegade artist. Exaggerated Kommunistenagst and racism, they are two completely different pairs of shoes. And
whom none of this is enough to place faith in all the rumors about Walt Disney, for whom I have three names: Floyd Norman, and Robert and Richard Sherman. The Afro-American artist Floyd Norman, who takes over the management Disneys no bones about it (and animal fun of the movie title Tangled did), worked as a draftsman at Sleeping Beauty and as a story artist on The Jungle Book , is still working as a freelancer for Disney. He's in it for Walt Disney always immediately into the breach when it comes to racism miserable topic. Not that he called Walt Disney as a saint - but as a normal People.
And the Sherman Brothers? They were in the late years of his career, as he mentally completely lost in Disneyland and Walt Disney World was the only burchstäblich, the Walt Disney were interested in the film business alive. They talked one of the most intimate relations of the late Walt Disney to his experienced staff, in most likely as a private person ... and are Jewish. Here is another anecdote lawyer comes to light: a callous lawyer (not the famous and infamous Gunther Lessing ) is the Sherman denounced as "these songs written Jew" ... and was promptly fired by Walt Disney. What the above described theory reinforced by the presumed friend of mine-attitude ... It depends on the relationship to one another, which is allowed. And the Shermans were not the only ones precious Jewish Disney employees. Without thinking, yet Disney legend Joe Grant comes to mind, creator of the evil queen in Snow White and co-author of Dumbo . Valuable staff at Der Fuehrer's Face or many Disney films such as Renaissance Beauty and the Beast (which admittedly has nothing to do more with Walt).
last
To use an argument from the good to Cartoon Brew article: Disney in 1955 by the Jewish, excellent for tolerance and understanding fighting organization B'nai B'rith as a man of the year. No honor is awarded lightly.
More must be said on this issue really is not, is there?
