So ive been watching the PBS American Experience Walt Disney and its really shifting my perspective. I always thought of Disney as a sell out son of a bitch responsible for the corporatization, indeed the Disneyification of art and culture.. and sure, contemporary Disney is surely that, but learning more about 1920s-1950s Walt i am increasingly seeing Disney the man as a visionary, artist, and brilliant futurist. His early films were innovative, creative, ground breaking works of art. Even Disneyland is an artistic vision when you separate it from all the cash.. i find myself conflicted. What do yall think?
