I AM THE ANTIWALT
Mar. 12th, 2008 03:10 pmSince several of my LJ pals are enjoying the plasticine charms of Walt Disney World as of this morning, I feel it is my civic duty to remind everyone of what Richard Schickel said of Uncle Walt in his 1968 book The Disney Version: that he was "a kind of rallying point for the subliterates of our society... [Disney] has placed a Mickey Mouse hat on every little developing personality in America. As capitalism, it is a work of genius; as culture, it is mostly a horror."
