While I appreciate that your company has continued to provide health-care benefits to furloughed workers for the past six months,6 thousands of laid off employees will now have to worry about how to keep food on the table7 as executives begin receiving hefty paychecks again.8 I would like to know whether Disney’s financial decisions have impacted the company’s 1 Disney Parks, Experiences and Products, “Statement from Josh D’Amaro, Chairman, Disney Parks, Experiences and Products (DPEP),” September 29, 2020, https://dpep.disney.com/update/. 2 Deadline, “Disney & Fox Corporation End Temporary Executive Pay Cuts Related To COVID-19 Pandemic,” Nellie Andreeva and Dominic Patten, August 20, 2020, https://deadline.com/2020/08/disney-fox-coronavirus-pay- reductions-restored-1203018873/.

  • The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930S
    Exploration in Imagination: The Walt Disney Silly Symphony Cartoons and American Animation in the 1930s By Kendall Wagner In the 1930s, Americans experienced major changes in their lifestyles when the Great Depression took hold. A feeling of malaise gripped the country, as unemployment rose, and money became scarce. However, despite the economic situation, movie attendance remained strong during the decade.1 Americans attended films to escape from their everyday lives. While many notable live-action feature-length films like The Public Enemy (1931) and It Happened One Night (1934) delighted Depression-era audiences, animated cartoon shorts also grew in popularity. The most important contributor to the evolution of animated cartoons in this era was Walt Disney, who innovated and perfected ideas that drastically changed cartoon production.2 Disney expanded on the simple gag-based cartoon by implementing film technologies like synchronized sound and music, full-spectrum color, and the multiplane camera. With his contributions, cartoons sharply advanced in maturity and professionalism. The ultimate proof came with the release of 1937’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the culmination of the technical and talent development that had taken place at the studio. The massive success of Snow White showed that animation could not only hold feature-length attention but tell a captivating story backed by impressive imagery that could rival any live-action film. However, it would take nearly a decade of experimentation at the Disney Studios before a project of this size and scope could be feasibly produced. While Mickey Mouse is often solely associated with 1930s-era Disney animation, many are unaware that alongside Mickey, ran another popular series of shorts, the Silly Symphony cartoons.
