Remembering Disney
April 5, 2008
2008 ushered in the 85th year for the movie giant the world all refers to as Disney in general. Disney, specifically, began very small in 1923. The first productions were called “Alice” comedies, beginning with “Alice’s Day at Sea.” A lot of folks today have no memory of Alice, but the name Mickey Mouse rings a bell with nearly everyone in the country.
Mickey made his debut in Steamboat Willie in 1928 and became an immediate star. He was not alone for long, however, as “siblings” soon followed with regularity. 1930 saw the birth of Pluto; 1932 brought Goofy, and Donald grumbled his way onto movie screens in 1934. These beloved characters made Walt Disney a much mentioned name before the first feature length animated film, Snow White, premiered in 1937.
Fantasia - Disney’s Experimental Masterpiece
March 29, 2008
Fantasia is the third feature Walt Disney created and is perhaps the most experimental. The film has no dialogue, relying instead on a sumptuous soundtrack performed by the Philadelphia Orchestra conducted by Leopold Stokowski. Though the film is predominantly animated, it does have some live-action sequences featuring Stokowski and the Orchestra. Fantasia was also notable for being the first major film to be screened in stereophonic sound.
Disney initially screened the film as a two-hour special engagement across the country. It was met with a mixed reception, forcing RKO Radio Pictures, which acquired the rights to distribute the film in 1942, to cut the running time down to roughly 81 minutes. Between 1946 and 1977 the film was reedited, resulting in a version 9 minutes shorter than the 1941 original release. The full version would not be released until the 2000 DVD reissue. By the late 1930s, Mickey Mouse had begun to lose popularity. In fact, Donald Duck was proving to be a more profitable character for Disney at the time. In an effort to reestablish Mickey’s dominance, Disney placed his protg in an animated short entitled The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. Based on the Goethe’s story of the same name, the story artists had intended to feature Dopey from Snow White in the title role, but Disney would have none of that. To that end, Mickey was retouched and given a myriad of new mannerisms, not to mention pupils. All of the retooling cost approximately $125,000, whereas a typical Disney animated short had cost the studio about $40,000.
