everything associated with the Disney name became an instant
success Frances Clarke SayersEvery story is sacrified to the

15. WALT THE PHILOSOPHER Reason and Emotion 1943 On Mass Culture:
"The span of years has not much altered my fundamental views of
mass amusement. Experience has merely perfected the style and
method and the techniques of presentation. My entertainment credo
has not changed a whit. Strong combat and soft satire are in our
story cores. Virtue triumphs over wickedness in our fables.
Tyrannical bullies are routed or conquered by our good little
people, human or animal. Basic morality is always deeply implicit
in our screen legends. But they are never sappy or namby-pamby. And
they never prate or preach. All are pitched toward the happy and
satisfactory ending. There is no cynicism in me and there is none
allowed in our work." Walt Disney A hundred years ago, Wagner
conceived of a perfect and all-embracing art, combining music,
drama, painting, and the dance, but in his wildest imagination he
had no hint what infinite possibilities were to become commonplace
through the invention of recording, radio, cinema, and television.
There already have been geniuses combining the arts in the mass-
communications media, and they have already given us powerful new
art forms. The future holds bright promise for those who
imaginations are trained to play on the vast orchestra of the
art-in-combination. Such SUPERMEN will appear most certainly in
those environments which provide contact with all the arts, but
even those who devote themselves to a single phase of art will
benefit from broadened horizons 16. IT HAS THAT THING THE
IMAGINATION, AND THE FEELING OF HAPPY EXCITEMENT I KNEW WHEN I WAS
A KID.
