    Disney comics from Italy♦ © Francesco Stajano 1997-1999 http://i.am/filologo.disneyano/ A Roberto, amico e cugino So what exactly shall we look at? First of all, the Introduction fascinating “prehistory” (early Thirties) where a few pioneering publishers and creators established a Disney Most of us die-hard Disney fans are in love with those presence in Italy. Then a look at some of the authors, seen comics since our earliest childhood; indeed, many of us through their creations. Because comics are such an learnt to read from the words in Donald’s and Mickey’s obviously visual medium, the graphical artists tend to get balloons. Few of us, though, knew anything about the the lion’s share of the critics’ attention; to compensate for creators of these wonderful comics: they were all this, I have decided to concentrate on the people who calligraphically signed by that “Walt Disney” guy in the actually invent the stories, the script writers (though even first page so we confidently believed that, somewhere in thus I’ve had to miss out many good ones). This seems to America, a man by that name invented and drew each and be a more significant contribution to Disney comics every one of those different stories every week. As we studies since, after all, it will be much easier for you to grew up, the quantity (too many) and quality (too read a lot about the graphical artists somewhere else. And different) of the stories made us realise that this man of course, by discussing stories I will also necessarily could not be doing all this by himself; but still, we touch on the work of the artists anyway.

  • Evolving Fantasia: Listening for Fun and Education in Walt Disney's Dynamic Commodity
    EVOLVING FANTASIA: LISTENING FOR FUN AND EDUCATION IN WALT DISNEY'S DYNAMIC COMMODITY by William Daniel Rosenmund Bachelor of the Arts, University of Virginia, 2012 Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of the Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts University of Pittsburgh 2015 UNIVERSITY OF PITTSBURGH Dietrich School of Arts and Sciences This thesis was presented by William Daniel Rosenmund It was defended on April 10, 2015 and approved by Dr. Rachel Mundy, Assistant Professor, Department of Music Dr. Emily Zazulia, Assistant Professor, Department of Music Thesis Director: Dr. Anna Nisnevich, Assistant Professor, Department of Music ii Copyright © by William Daniel Rosenmund 2015 iii EVOLVING FANTASIA: LISTENING FOR FUN AND PEDAGOGY IN WALT DISNEY'S DYNAMIC COMMODITY William Daniel Rosenmund, M.A. University of Pittsburgh, 2015 Since its first theatrical release in 1940, Walt Disney's Fantasia has become an autonomous brand under the stewardship of the Walt Disney Company. Through the seventy- five years of Fantasia's history, it has spawned multiple re-releases in both the domestic and public sphere, as well as a sequel film, video game, and series of live performances. As such, Fantasia is a dynamic commodity which has remained culturally relevant amongst audiences. From this relevance, pedagogical value can be derived; the film introduces modes of listening such as Michel Chion's audio-viewing and introductions to the role of narrative in Western art music. Utilizing secondary sources for production history, newspaper reviews, and (auto)ethnography, this project delves into reception history of Fantasia as a means to understand the cultural contexts in which Disney's project can simultaneously exist as a populist commodity and pedagogical text.

All of them are based on special circumstances which are indispensable to understand the beginning, development, and success of this legendary figure. In Chapter One, there is a clear explanation of Disney´s genealogy from 1824 until 1903, his family, education, jobs, voluntary activities, personal life, some exemplifications of his first attempts at artistic talent, and his death. In Chapter Two, there are some definitions of animated cartoons. We analyze the first optical toys as a great asset in the progress of cartoons. Additionally, there is a description of some Disney´s contributions to motion pictures. In Chapter Three, there is a description of Disney´s imagination which is based on folk literature. There is an analysis relied on some of the most important Disney´s creations. In Chapter Four, there is a description of the establishment of the Disney Company in Hollywood.

  • Romano Scarpa
    Cronologia delle storie disneyane a fumetti di Romano Scarpa Versione S5.32– 26-09-2008 Questa cronologia è la discendente diretta della primissima cronologia delle opere di Romano Scarpa, iniziata da Alberto Becattini nel 1980 sulle pagine del numero 6 della fanzine Funnies; a quel tempo la cronologia riportava solo il titolo delle storie, la loro prima pubblicazione e le ristampe conosciute. Ancora non c’era nessun dato su chi le avesse scritte. Poi nel 1982 Franco Fossati pubblicò il suo indice sulle pagine di IF, e questo fornì molti nuovi dati che finirono sulla seconda versione di Becattini della cronologia: quella pubblicata nel 1988 in appendice al volume Romano Scarpa – Un cartoonist italiano tra animazione e fumetti. Un’errata corrige e addenda a questa versione verrà poi pubblicata nel 1992 sul numero 9 di Marvel Series Notiziario. Passa qualche anno e nel 1998 si presenta l’occasione di pubblicare la cronologia su una pubblicazione Disney “ufficiale”: i Maestri Disney. E infatti in appendice ai numeri dei Maestri Disney dedicati a Scarpa viene pubblicata a puntate (tuttora incompleta) la cronologia, questa volta anche parzialmente illustrata. Infine, la versione più recente di Becattini, compare in appendice al volume Romano Scarpa – Sognando la Calidornia, del 2001. Nel 2005, dopo la scomparsa di Scarpa, sul numero 132 di Fumo di China viene pubblicata a cura mia e di Luca Boschi una versione riveduta e ridotta della stessa (ancora una volta ricorretta e integrata) che aggiunge una novità: la numerazione cronologica (in ordine di pubblicazione) delle storie. Ad accompagnarla un articolo di Luca Boschi che ripercorre più in dettaglio la “storia” delle cronologie scarpiane.

  • An Analysis of Clothing in Disney Cartoons
    "I Might be a Duck, but I'm Human": An Analysis of Clothing in Disney Cartoons Luke Baldwin Dubin JAMES A GIBSON LIBRARY BROCK UNIVERSiTY , r'"i I~" YES' < ' ¥-"'J; ''<'11 r ST.• CJ\THAR,.. ...... ..!. v ,t_#.", ~ Thesis completed in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the Interdisciplinary MA Program in Popular Culture Brock University © 2008 Dubin i Abstract Mickey Mouse, one of the world's most recognizable cartoon characters, did not wear a shirt in his earliest incarnation in theatrical shorts and, for many years, Donald Duck did not wear pants and still rarely does so. Especially when one considers the era in which these figures were first created by the Walt Disney Studio, in the 1920s and 1930s, why are they portrayed without full clothing? The obvious answer, of course, is that they are animals, and animals do not wear clothes. But these are no ordinary animals: in most cases, they do wear clothing - some clothing, at least - and they walk on two legs, talk in a more or less intelligible fashion, and display a number of other anthropomorphic traits. If they are essentially animals, why do they wear clothing at all? On the other hand, if these characters are more human than animal, as suggested by other behavioral traits - they walk, talk, work, read, and so on - why are they not more often fully clothed? To answer these questions I undertook three major research strategies used to gather evidence: interpretive textual analysis of 321 cartoons; secondary analysis of interviews conducted with the animators who created the Disney characters; and historical and archival research on the Disney Company and on the times and context in which it functioned.
