I'm gonna say that with over 1.2 mil subscribers that you can't REALLY say people think of this OR ANY of Simon's channels as being anything less than spectacular. He has MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of subscribers throughout the whole of them. And I'm gonna say or just render a guess that he has acquired, because of those subscribers, a GREAT amount of influence. I'd say that at this point Simon has a ton of influence on our impressions of certain historical opinions, or info on geographic places or just GENERALLY interesting information. I think Simon is TRULY one of THE MOST valuable KZbin influencers. His material has great worth, intellectual and entertainment value and they are just FULL of substance. I think the world is VERY lucky to have had Simon dicide one day in the somewhat recent past to sit down and start filming and editing these videos and put them on KZbin.

This is a good representation of my memories of the history of Disney. I'm not throwing shade at anyone here. Things are what they are and were what they were. We all learn over time and Walt Disney is hero to a lot of people despite things we know he did that we wouldn't accept now. I look up to uncle Walt because his company brought me entertainment as a child.

[@emmagrove6491]

You got a LOT wrong (listed it below). I'm an animator, so I know and have read EVERYTHING there is to know about Walt. You got a lot right (especially concerning the strike), and I won't hit the THUMBS DOWN button, because you tried... Walt was rejected from the Army because he was underage (15). He later falsified his birth certificate (to age 16) so he could join the Red Cross. Walt never won a scholarship to the Kansas City Art Institute (he may have saved money to take a class or two there). After the war, Walt worked for the post office (seasonally for the holidays) and later Pesmin-Rubin as a temporary freelance artist. THAT's where he first met Ubbe Iwwerks (full name, shortened later to Ub Iwerks). After being laid off, and trying to start his own advertising art agency with Ub (which floundered), Walt got hired at Kansas City Film Ad Company, and later got Ub hired there. THAT's where he started to toy around with animation. The women were called INKERS, not colorists (even later when cartoons switched to color). His studio was initially called the Disney Brothers Studio, later WALT DISNEY STUDIO, not Walt Disney Cartoons. Walt's breakdown in the 1930's was mainly caused from SEVERE overwork, and the pressures of keeping his small studio afloat. He worked long hours back then (he was always the last to leave the studio), sometimes seven days a week. As he said later, "I cracked up. I was expecting more from the men than they were able to give me, and all I did all day long was pound, pound, pound." BUT, in those ten years (from around 1929 to 1939) Walt's animators and artists practically re-invented animation, brought it from a crude medium (artistically) to an art form, and developed animation principles that are STILL USED TODAY.

I worked at Disneyland for 7 years. Most if not all cast members would agree with you. It used to tear me up when assigned to stand under Walt's apartment for backstage blowout.

@@veganismisamentalillness7909 Because Seeing the backstage breaks the immersion and ruins the experience of the park guest. Which was a fairly serious thing when Disney was alive.

[@Marco_Onyxheart]

Nowadays, it's not uncommon for cartoons and especially for anime to have variable framerate. Although colouring frames isn't expensive in the computer age, drawing them is. Slower scenes can be drawn at a lower framerate, thus reducing costs. Even anime that are known for flashy high budget scenes do this, diverting budget away from slow scenes and into those flashy scenes.

You never mentioned Disney's most controversial film, "Song of the South." It also combined live action with animation and has some nice tunes. The Disney Company has vowed never to re-release the film and has removed it from their catalog.

[@ameshunter]

Thought the same thing, trouble is they have a popular ride that is based off of brer rabbit and animated folks from that movie.

[@littlepantherlp]

There’s surely a way Disney could release Song of the South that would place the film in an appropriate historical context, acknowledging its flaws while making the case for its importance (and the importance of not pretending it never existed) with an assortment of special features. But I’m not sure the public is missing much by not watching it, and Disney continuing to turn a blind eye to the bootlegs that exist in the digital space is arguably a lesser evil than trying to wring more profit from this thing by putting it out on a new Blu-ray.

[@keithdean9149]

It's long been available in Europe. Another interesting point is that when Walt saw the premier of "To Kill a Mockingbird" he said he wished he could make a movie like that but he was afraid the public would never accept a movie like that from him.
