      Cinema Sins is trash that often relies on repetitive and false assumptions to create shock... I unsubbed from that channel more than a year ago and I can't recall a moment where I have had regret of that decision. I wouldn't support their work if they were the last film critics left on the planet...

      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 RUclips 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 RUclips. Simon(biographics, geographics, today I found out), Vsauce, Smarter Every Day, it's okay to be smart, wisecrack...you can't go wrong with any of those guys...nothing underrated about any of them...

Full time employees could sign ourselves and 3 others into the Park whenever it was open with s couple evening exceptions. We had company parties and given collectibles. They even gave us stock!

    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.

    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.

      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.

Many of the people who worked with him here made the move to California, and the list IS rather a "Who's Who" of early cinematic animation. There's also a location in the Crossroads District that celebrates his work.

      My dad was an enlisted rank Marine-career military serving in WWII, rain away and joined the Marines at 16, Korea and Vietnam, and with four kids money was tight. I found out years later they saved an entire year to be able to afford the trip from Texas, we drove everywhere-i still love a road trip-hotels, food, and tickets to go to Disneyland.
      Our parents have passed on but that memory and many others they created with us lives on giving me such pleasure thinking back on our childhood which Disney movies and Disneyland was a good part of. Great times and we four are still incredibly close in touch almost everyday.

      As a peasant, I don't think it's fair for the public to have the right to essentially own a character still in use by the original company -which is still around. If the Disney company was sold off and dissolved, yes I would expect the character to eventually belong to the public. Besides, what do we lose?
