Why I like Disney (Part 1 of many)

• I’ve decided that I’m gonna try a continuing blog-thread that will spring up from time to time. I’m often asked why I like Disney. I’ll give one reason each post.

Because I like the man himself.

There’s something you can’t deny about Walt Disney, the person. He has passion, drive, and keen senses. Three qualities that I either want, or need to enhance. If anyone has gone through the One Man and his Dream exhibit in Hollywood Studios (which i normally dub The Studios), you would understand the turmoil that he had to go through (losing Oswald, war time, putting all his money in Snow White, etc.) and he still persevered.

I’m still amazed by what one man’s ideas accomplished. Without Walt Disney, we probably would have a very different view of animation, or even color. Disney was an experimenter; he didn’t want to follow the other movie producers.

I guess I just want to make an impact like Disney did. One day when I am old, I want people to think highly of me like they would of Walt Disney. I’m already convinced that I won’t make a huge impact, but if one person I know (or they read an article of mine) went, “He’s a good (insert noun here)” I would be happy.

Oh Family Guy, I love how nothing is sacred.

Oh and the Family Guy reference (“Are all the Jews gone yet?”) is hysterical.
