Cover Photography © Tim Foster The Changing Seasons of Disney Florida may offer a more temperate climate than other parts of the country (where snowy winters are the norm), but the last couple of years have seen a fair number of cold snaps take hold of the Sunshine State. But for now the temperatures are climbing back to normal (and hopefully will stay there), and Walt Disney World is still a great place to visit to escape those brutal northern winters. But that’s not to say that the changing of the seasons aren’t a part of the Disney experience. Even on warm December evenings, you’ll find it snowing on Main Street U.S.A., and as the holidays drift off into the distance, we can now look forward to the coming of Spring with Epcot’s International Flower & Garden Festival. But Florida is best known (season-wise) for its hot summers…the better to enjoy those dips in the ocean or, if you’re at Disney, those wonderfully themed water parks and resort pools. And of course, the Fall brings out the bright oranges and yellows of the changing leaves as Halloween takes over at the Magic Kingdom, and Epcot ushers in the changing seasons with the International Food & Wine Festival. The fact is, though most people associate Walt Disney World with hot summer days and sometimes-brutal heat waves (and yes, that predictable late afternoon summer thunderstorm!), all of the seasons are celebrated in this wondrous land. It certainly helps when the temperature drops outside, but even if the sun is beating down on you in early Spring or late Fall, you can still celebrate the seasons in true Disney style through its many festivals and events. But with all of that being said (and I’m writing this knowing that we still have plenty of winter ahead!), it’s nice to start thinking about the Flower & Garden Festival and the promise of warmer days ahead! Enjoy the magic! Tim Foster 3 · Celebrations Disney News innie Mouse has made Disney History.

SNumbers have certainly played a big part in Disney’s cinematic history (quick, name all seven dwarfs!), but many folks don’t realize that numbers play a significant (though oft-overlooked) role in the parks as well. And not just in attraction names (with all apologies to the Three Caballeros at Mexico’s Gran Fiesta tour), but in the smallest of details found throughout all of the parks; details that may seem innocu- ous at first but in fact are clever inside jokes or veiled references to an historic date. Let’s begin with something as innocent as house numbers. Most of us have one, and by and large they don’t mean anything. (For example, even though my house by Tim Foster number is 308, it doesn’t mean I was born on March 8!) But at Walt Disney World it’s a different story. Given that the Imagineers needed to put house numbers on many of the buildings throughout the parks (particularly the Magic Kingdom), and given that they’ll never miss a chance to infuse some humor or historic authenticity into the smallest of details, you’ll find that the house numbers you see actually carry some significance. Most famously, you’ll find that the buildings that line the streets from Liberty Square all the way through Frontierland have numbers that are in fact years; in- dicating the time periods when those buildings would have existed. Walking from Liberty Square through Frontierland toward Splash Mountain is like traveling through time, with the buildings in Liberty Square numbered in the 1700s (begin- ning with the Hall of Presidents bearing the number 1787, the year the U.S. Constitu- tion was ratified) and those in Frontierland representing those in the 1800s (many buildings have two-digit numbers, the trick is to put an “18” in front of it, and just like that you’ve travelled back in time!) Tim Foster is the creator of You’ll also find some references to significant dates in Disney history on Main Celebrations magazine and Street U.S.A., such as a plaque over the door of the Emporium Gallery that reads the author of the Guide to the Magic book series, which “Established in 1901” (the year Walt Disney was born). According to its sign, the Em- includes the Guide to the Magic porium itself was established in 1863, but the derivation of that year is a bit more for Kids and the Deluxe Guide to complicated. According to the fictitious back-story, that was the year the Empo- the Magic Autograph & Sticker rium was established by its founder, Osh Popham. But why 1863? It turns out that Book.

The film also starred Burl Ives (of “Have a Holly Jolly Christmas” fame) as…you can see where this is going… none other than Osh Popham. But that’s just the beginning. You’ll also find lots of references to opening dates throughout the parks, disguised as seemingly random numbers on signs and other decorative items. For example, the Starport Seven-Five sign you see on the Tomor- rowland Transit Authority PeopleMover as you enter Space Mountain is a reference to 1975, the year Space Mountain opened. Over at Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin, you used to be able to see a more obscure reference to a significant date.

Ferguson CUNY Queens College How does access to this work benefit ou?y Let us know! More information about this work at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu/qc_pubs/205 Discover additional works at: https://academicworks.cuny.edu This work is made publicly available by the City University of New York (CUNY). Contact: [email protected] 1 Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios Abstract There are a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, but most of them only pursue traditional forms of scholarship by extracting a single variable from the audiovisual text that is already legible to scholars. Instead, cinema and media studies should pursue a mostly-ignored “digital-surrealism” that uses computer-based methods to transform film texts in radical ways not previously possible. This article describes one such method using the z-projection function of the scientific image analysis software ImageJ to sum film frames in order to create new composite images. Working with the fifty-four feature-length films from Walt Disney Animation Studios, I describe how this method allows for a unique understanding of a film corpus not otherwise available to cinema and media studies scholars. “Technique is the very being of all creation” — Roland Barthes “We dig up diamonds by the score, a thousand rubies, sometimes more, but we don't know what we dig them for” — The Seven Dwarfs There are quite a number of fruitful digital humanities approaches to cinema and media studies, which vary widely from aesthetic techniques of visualizing color and form in shots to data-driven metrics approaches analyzing editing patterns.

    Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Alexander Lindgren, 36761 Pro gradu-avhandling i engelska språket och litteraturen Handledare: Jason Finch Fakulteten för humaniora, psykologi och teologi Åbo Akademi 2020 ÅBO AKADEMI – FACULTY OF ARTS, PSYCHOLOGY AND THEOLOGY Abstract for Master’s Thesis Subject: English Language and Literature Author: Alexander Lindgren Title: Animated Stereotypes – An Analysis of Disney’s Contemporary Portrayals of Race and Ethnicity Supervisor: Jason Finch Abstract: Walt Disney Animation Studios is currently one of the world’s largest producers of animated content aimed at children. However, while Disney often has been associated with themes such as childhood, magic, and innocence, many of the company’s animated films have simultaneously been criticized for their offensive and quite problematic take on race and ethnicity, as well their heavy reliance on cultural stereotypes. This study aims to evaluate Disney’s portrayals of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as determine whether or not the nature of the company’s portrayals have become more culturally sensitive with time. To accomplish this, seven animated feature films produced by Disney were analyzed. These analyses are of a qualitative nature, with a focus on imagology and postcolonial literary theory, and the results have simultaneously been compared to corresponding criticism and analyses by other authors and scholars. Based on the overall results of the analyses, it does seem as if Disney is becoming more progressive and culturally sensitive with time. However, while most of the recent films are free from the clearly racist elements found in the company’s earlier productions, it is quite evident that Disney still tends to rely heavily on certain cultural stereotypes.

  • THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin's Influence on American
    THE ANIMATED TRAMP Charlie Chaplin’s Influence on American Animation By Nancy Beiman SLIDE 1: Joe Grant trading card of Chaplin and Mickey Mouse Charles Chaplin became an international star concurrently with the birth and development of the animated cartoon. His influence on the animation medium was immense and continues to this day. I will discuss how American character animators, past and present, have been inspired by Chaplin’s work. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND (SLIDE 2) Jeffrey Vance described Chaplin as “the pioneer subject of today’s modern multimedia marketing and merchandising tactics”, 1 “(SLIDE 3). Charlie Chaplin” comic strips began in 1915 and it was a short step from comic strips to animation. (SLIDE 4) One of two animated Chaplin series was produced by Otto Messmer and Pat Sullivan Studios in 1918-19. 2 Immediately after completing the Chaplin cartoons, (SLIDE 5) Otto Messmer created Felix the Cat who was, by 1925, the most popular animated character in America. Messmer, by his own admission, based Felix’s timing and distinctive pantomime acting on Chaplin’s. 3 But no other animators of the time followed Messmer’s lead. (SLIDE 6) Animator Shamus Culhane wrote that “Right through the transition from silent films to sound cartoons none of the producers of animation paid the slightest attention to… improvements in the quality of live action comedy. Trapped by the belief that animated cartoons should be a kind of moving comic strip, all the producers, (including Walt Disney) continued to turn out films that consisted of a loose story line that supported a group of slapstick gags which were often only vaguely related to the plot….The most astonishing thing is that Walt Disney took so long to decide to break the narrow confines of slapstick, because for several decades Chaplin, Lloyd and Keaton had demonstrated the superiority of good pantomime.” 4 1 Jeffrey Vance, CHAPLIN: GENIUS OF THE CINEMA, p.
