Media Contact: Valerie Cisneros [email protected] 407-629-1088 x302 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ENZIAN TO PLAY 75th ANNIVERSARY SCREENING OF FANTASIA Orlando, FL – (October 30, 2015) – For the first time in its history, Enzian Theater will be showing a 4K restoration of Walt Disney’s legendary FANTASIA for its 75th Anniversary. This screening will also show bonus content, including a newly recorded behind-the-scenes look from the orchestra’s rehearsals. President Henry Maldonado says, “This is an event that is not to be missed! Walt Disney’s masterpiece has never appeared on the Enzian big screen before and we are thrilled to be able to present it in all its glory. Bring the whole family to this one!” WHAT: Special Programs: FANTASIA Saturday, November 7, 2015 at 12PM 75th Anniversary 4K Restoration Throughout history, there have been but a handful of groundbreaking films where the soundtrack has become inextricably linked to the cinematic achievement of the film itself. There is perhaps no greater example of this marriage than Walt Disney’s 1940 masterpiece, FANTASIA. This Walt Disney masterpiece is a consummate collection of seven animated shorts, each utilizing a classical score for their background, and all under the direction of Leopold Stokowski. The selections include “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” starring Mickey Mouse; the brilliantly animated “The Rites of Spring”; and the stirring finale, “A Night on Bald Mountain.” Bonus content: One hundred years after conductor Leopold Stokowski’s – who originally conducted several pieces of FANTASIA—first season with The Philadelphia Orchestra, the acclaimed conductor Yannik Nezet-Seguin now leads the company. The event screenings will include a newly recorded behind-the-scenes look from the orchestra’s rehearsals, including a selection of pieces from FANTASIA. And as if that weren’t spectacle enough, Yannik Nezet-Seguin will lead an exclusive, up-close-and-personal discussion about the history of Stokowski, FANTASIA, and the indelible imprint both left on the modern world symphonic world.

Digital Surrealism: Visualizing Walt Disney Animation Studios

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 –
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 Disney Bloodline
Get Your Free 150 MB Website Now! THE SKILL OF LYING, THE ART OF DECEIT The Disney Bloodline The Illuminati have refined the art of deception far beyond what the common man has imagined. The very life & liberty of humanity requires the unmasking of their deceptions. That is what this book is about. Honesty is a necessary ingredient for any society to function successfully. Deception has become a national pastime, starting with our business and political leaders and cascading down to the grass roots. The deceptions of the Illuminati's mind-control may be hidden, but in their wake they are leaving tidal waves of distrust that are destroying America. While the CIA pretend to have our nations best interest at heart, anyone who has seriously studied the consequences of deception on a society will tell you that deception will seriously damage any society until it collapses. Lies seriously damage a community, because trust and honesty are essential to communication and productivity. Trust in some form is a foundation upon which humans build relationships. When trust is shattered human institutions collapse. If a person distrusts the words of another person, he will have difficulty also trusting that the person will treat him fairly, have his best interests at heart, and refrain from harming him. With such fears, an atmosphere of death is created that will eventually work to destroy or wear down the cooperation that people need. The millions of victims of total mind- control are stripped of all trust, and they quietly spread their fears and distrust on a subconscious level throughout society.

As long-time enthusiasts of the fi lm, our alternate goal was to be able to fi nd, screen and preserve that lost version. This raised several questions: What are the technical and artistic merits of this specifi c version? What was the creative process? How was it critically received? And why was this version replaced in subsequent releases? The making of the first French version In the silent era, movies were usually shot with two cameras.

Walt Disney and American Cultural Identity
Where Dreams Come True – Walt Disney and American Cultural Identity Room and time: Seminar Room (Attemsgasse 25, Top Floor), Wednesday, 3:15 - 4:45 p.m. First session: October 11, 2017 ˑ Course number: 512.313 Lecturer: Univ.-Prof. Dr. Stefan Brandt ˑ Office hours: Thursdays, 4-6 p.m. ˑ Email: stefan.brandt@uni- graz.at Description: The name ‘Disney’ is commonly employed to identify the ‘shallow’ and ‘popular’ aspects of the American way of life. It stands for an idealistic – perhaps even escapist – approach to culture that accentuates traditional values and embellishes the romantic dimensions of human (and oftentimes animal) relationships. Since the 1990s, the term ‘Disneyfication’ has been used by scholars to describe the transformation of society into a giant spectacle, consisting of theme parks and superficial entertainment. The spectrum of Disney films (and productions associated with or financed by Disney) is much wider than many movie-goers suspect; it includes animated cartoons (e.g., Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, 1937; Fantasia, 1940; Mulan, 1998; Ratatouille, 2007; Up, 2009; Frozen, 2013; and Inside Out, 2015), sci-fi flicks (Tron, 1982), musicals (Mary Poppins, 1964), as well as documentaries (The Living Desert, 1951) and even avant-garde films (The Straight Story, 1999). While looking at some crucial Disney productions, we will also examine archetypal characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck with regard to their development on screen/television, discuss crucial topics in Disney movies (e.g., race, class, gender, and nation) as well as scrutinize the phenomenon of ‘Disneyland.’ Primary Texts (Chronological order) Steamboat Willie.
