I watched it some time ago and yhea Disney is probably the most reactionary film maker in modern bourgeois history.

Watching it now. Should be interesting. I was raised with anti-Disney parents, especially my dad. He hated how this corporation basically dominates the pop culture of kids, and tried to keep me out of it as much as possible. And it worked. I'm basically as anti-Disney as him now, and his anti-consumerism sentiments probably helped me get to leftism...

Yet Sergei Eisenstein wrote admiringly of his early animated movies: "Walt Disney's work is the most omni-appealing I've ever come across. In terms of material, Disney's pictures are pure ecstasy bearing all the traits of ecstasy (the immersion of self in nature and animals, etc.). Their comicality lies in the fact that the process of ecstasy is represented as an object: literalized, formalized."

Well the first feature animated film Disney did was Snow White that is more sexists then Warner Brothers shorts as even Pepe Le Pew is done tongue in cheek and when Penelope starts chasing Pepe the roles are reversed as Pepe runs away from the advances of Penelope.
