Inspired by posts in another thread, I thought it might be interesting to read the different, personal perceptions of the word "Disney" to ever-passionate members of the MiceChat community. Starting with the positives - What aspects originally made you bond with the body of work, made you care, made it meaningful?
Mine came from Walt's time:
The Art of Animation - cartoons
Fun and wonder
Beauty, color, and design
Yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy - leaving today behind
Escape from reality
Reassurance - everything will be okay
Release of the inner child, the spirit of youth
Triumph of good over evil, hope over despair, kindness over anger, persistence over adversity
Laughter, humor, caricature, soft satire
Timelessness
Fantasy
Exotic adventure
Comfort, nostalgia
Archetypes of the collective unconscious
The glad game - optimism
Utopian futurism
Beautiful music
Imagination and exploration
Quality
The unexpected
Wishful thinking
"The finest in family entertainment"
Happy endings
