Аноним15 ноября 2014 г.Читать далееWhat Disneyland proposes is a technique of abbreviated shorthand culture for the masses, a mindless thrill, like an electric shock, that insists at the same time on the recipient's rich psychic relation to his country's history and language and literature.

It is interesting to note, however, that WaIt Disney's early achievements in his original medium, the animated cartoon, employed animal characters of his own devising. The animated cartoon itself, except for Disney's subsequent climb into the respectability of public domain literature, came to express the collective unconsciousness of the community of the American Naive. A study today of the products of the animated cartoon industry of the twenties, thirties and forties would yield the following theology:
I. People are animals.
2.The body is mortal and subject to incredible pain.- Life is antagonistic to the living.
- The flesh can be sawed, crushed, frozen, stretched, burned, bombed, and plucked for music
5·The dumb are abused by the smart and the smart destroyed
by their own cu- The small are tortured by the large and the large destroyed by their own momentum.
7.·We are able to walk on air, but only as long as our illusion supports us.239 - Аноним15 ноября 2014 г.
