Film School Rejects: Walt Disney, Nazis, and ‘El Grupo’

    sounds interesting, I always find odd and rare stuff from and about Disney fascinating... I love how they completely ignore the fact they made Songs of The South...it's animation history good or bad, even the propaganda shorts are banned... they were commentaries of the time

    "stop those damned Nazis" - Stop the Nazi's? I would think just the opposite, Walt Disney was a rabid Anti-Semite. (Sorry, politics on FSR. I'll stand in the corner and be a good boy from now on.)

    Still, I had never heard about this and it does sound interesting.

    Stop sensationalizing dj, there was never any proof that Walt Disney had rabies.

    Wait, are you trying to say that the scene in the Jungle Book with the Mad Yaks attacking Anaheim wasn't autobiographical?

    How do you know he was a rabid anti-Semite? I only ask because many, many people have come out saying that that wasn't true at all. I think it's just a rumor because he screened Snow White for Hitler, I believe - which would have been circa 1937. I'm not great with history, but wasn't that before everyone realized Hitler was a raging lunatic?

    Sounds interesting, but I wish it wasn't produced by Disney. Kind of stops any means of saying anything not totally positive about the man and his efforts...But I guess until 'Walt Disney: Cultural Imperialist' comes out, I'll have to settle for this
