A couple of months ago I ran into a 10 minute youtube on the creepy background of Walt Disney and the whole thing. I never could find it again. Very well researched. Alwasy weird.

When I was a child I watched Mouseketeers etc and once I threw up afterwards, I was about 5. After that I hated m.mouse. Ha!

I may have been the only kid who was creeped out by "The Three Lives of Thomasina," which is one of very few movies I was taken to up to that time. As you say, "always weird."

My dad spent part of one summer picking up college credits where he was in a group with one of the female Mousketeers. I remember him saying that she had a low opinion of the people involved. Dad believed that the experience had screwed her up.

I was a cartoon-watching kid; I loved 'em. BUT...

I hated Mickey Mouse too (and barely tolerated Donald Duck). If there was any actual humor in a Disney cartoon, it must have accidentally gotten tracked in by a cleaning lady or a delivery guy. Maybe it was because of my dislike for Mickey that I never did like Disney films - like "Thomasina" - or have any desire to go to Disneyland..

Just a couple of notes on Disney:

Where do you think they got the idea for Monsters, Inc?

Monsters are real, and they power their world on the screams of children

Henry J. Waternoose: I have no choice. Times have changed. Scaring isn't enough anymore.

Sulley: But kidnapping children?

Henry J. Waternoose: I'll kidnap a thousand children before I let this company die, and I'll silence anyone who gets in my way!

John Lasseter, former head of Pixar, had to leave the company. They had an employee assigned to accompany him and make him keep his hands off the female employees.
