And that's really what it's all about.No question that Walt Disney made the world a better place
There has never been so much artistic and social wrangling over a person's pop culture footprint. People have their reasons for hating him...I think they overestimate him. Walt Disney made complex movies with simple motives: to bring families together in front of movie screens, living rooms, and theme parks; to get people to experience unambiguous depictions of fear, grief, and joy together as a unit; to provide children with formative morality lessons in a nurturing but compelling format that doesn't intimidate them or make them feel inferior; and to provide grown-ups with a reprieve from working their tails off, in and out of the household. To all age groups, Disney stories embolden folks to live the kind of life they want to lead in the simplest terms.
There are important, more intelligent things to do other than visit theme parks or watch cartoons. Walt Disney didn't make the world a better place. He just made it a lot more enjoyable.
