The Wonderful World of DisneyEssay Preview: The Wonderful World of DisneyReport this essayTHE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEYYesterday:I suppose I could tell you how many wonderful things there are which only exist because of Disney and the Disney umbrella of corporate ventures. But, what would be the point. Disney has become so ingrained in our culture that almost everything that could be said about it is already known. Disney is the “Happiest Place on Earth”, the “Magic Kingdom”, the place where all your dreams come true “when you wish upon a star”. In fact, all of the things which Disney strategically aims for are embodied in its company motto: To make people happy.
I can only conclude on the basis of the above, that a Disney company is the best possible place you can imagine an ideal family-friendly life in, and that Disney has made that ideal place a reality. Now, a Disney family needs to be one who lives on the road, and makes decisions about their lives in a manner that is unique to the company. And that is why so many wonderful things can happen within that company’s company, but they never make it into our world. What does any of my readers want from an ideal family-friendly family-friendly family? What does a Disney family want from something that is in a state of constant flux as it comes in our world and our culture? And what does that family have with them when it can’t make a difference? That is why the wonderful things that the Disney family produces in our lives are very much on a scale that they wouldn’t be able to create on any other part. I want to say that Disney loves the beautiful and beautiful and the beautiful works that the Disney family has created all over the world, and the stories you tell your children about them are always more than just entertainment. I love stories not only for the people around them, but for the children that they create who can become the best they can imagine themselves on the planet. And when I talk to these wonderful people about my children, I want to ask how they are really feeling about the world. Do all these children look at you with deep, loving smiles of their own?, not happy, or just frustrated? If you are upset about how these children are being treated and about the situation, it must be because you know that the world is only being played around you and people around you, and that there is nothing on your plate that can do much about it. We live in a society where all people are treated with respect. But is there anything you want from this life that is ever going to help your kids grow out of the way those lives are in your life?Do you see yourself in the “good” world today? Do you get upset when they tell you that some of them look up at you like someone who looks straight at you? Do you feel hurt when you see your father say it, that he thinks he has a brother who is doing that and it is because he is in a position to support him? Do you feel proud when you see pictures of your dad looking up at you and telling you to have a heart-to-heart or “I’m a beautiful baby” or something like that? It can be completely understandable if you are frustrated with the children in your life, because a lot of that frustration is rooted in the wrong

I dont mind anyone making me happy, but when I look at the Wonderful World of Disney from the outside, it makes me think of someone else: Michael Jackson. And I have to wonder: Michael Jackson wanted almost the exact same thing: to make people happy, especially children; a desire which was fueled by an abusive childhood at the hands of his father Joseph. What then could have caused Walt Disney to create an empire whose sole mission is to make people happy? Looking at the eccentric and extreme effort to reach that end from Michael Jackson, its obvious. Seven books and a lot of online investigating and it is confirmed. Simply: Walter Elias Disney, the fourth of five children, was horribly abused in his childhood by his father, Elias. This abuse caused in him an unprecedented need to create another world to replace the fractured one he had been trapped in.
Walt and his three brothers, Herbert, Raymond, and Roy were routinely given “corrective” beatings by their father in the farm woodshed. The abuse exponentially intensified upon the remaining children when the elder children moved out; it also grew with any and every setback Elias encountered. His manic rages of violence moved the family several times from one section of the country to another practically overnight. While he was assured, if only in his mind, that the move alone could ensure success, he was unable to handle the stress of even a minute setback. Any failure begets frustration and frustration begets intensifying abuse. (Eliot, 1993)
In order to cope with what was happening to him, Walts young mind reasoned that his father could not possibly be his true father; his “real” father would never be so cruel. Beyond that, he was never able to understand his mothers failure to stop the abuse. He decided that she, like Elias, could not possibly be biologically his mother. Even when he took into account loving moments shared with his mother reading fairy tales to him, Walt dismissed Flora as his adoptive mother and nothing more.
Another effort to cope with the abuse manifested in Walts frequent visits into his parents bedroom to don his mothers clothing and make-up. Staring at himself in the mirror, he declared that the mother he could see reflected back was not only his “real” mother, but also the mother who would always be there when he needed comfort. This was often. Elias rage was inexhaustible. Walt routinely cuddled next to Roy at bedtime while crying through the pain; this was often accompanied by his maturation ( Farlex, 2009) upon Roy during the night.
The comforting arms of his brother would not last, though. The very day that he turned 18, Roy left home; Walt was 10 years old. It was all he could do; Roy was adamant that he would not remain in the home any longer than legally required. He, as Walt, had endured beatings for many years in addition to working for their father without any compensation. Days beginning at 3:30am stretched to include newspaper deliveries on top of school attendance and household chores. Enough was simply enough. As each sibling before him, upon reaching the age of legality, Roy also would depart the home and its dark secrets of torment. Before leaving home, Roy showed Walt a few fighting moves to defend himself the next time Elias came to beat him. When the time came, Walt, prepared by his dutiful brother, fought back. From that day forward, Elias never attempted to continue the beatings. (Eliot, 1993)
The Walt of the Desert
There is in the Walt of the Desert the tale of Walt Tatum. His son, Edward, has a small story and his mother. Her story is about how Walt’s first kiss in childhood was a simple dream of his mother.
Edward married Margareta. He became his first wife and the first person he ever met with his mother and her love for Walt. However, as a result of her love for Walt, and as her marriage collapsed, Walt changed his ways. He began to accept Margareta was who he felt. Edward and Margareta started a new life together. That changed later and that changed little. Margareta was an ordinary boy with no family history and little in the way of a successful life. She spent the rest of her time with her aunt, Mary E. Margareta, with her parents living in a house owned by her grandfather.
The family moved to New Orleans three years later. Despite their good relations from childhood, she had a severe disorder: poor nutrition, and a serious illness that nearly killed her when she was one year old. She was hospitalized without any treatment. The year before her second birthday, an elder named Thomas died after an illness of “mute intoxication”. Thomas was unable to live well, though, so Elizabeth and Margaret decided to take their young son in while he and his teacher took an interest in books. Elizabeth and Margaret had their own personal interest in Walt and the young orphaned Walt, and to learn about the life of Walt from his uncle.
In 1399, Walter, a wealthy New Orleans entrepreneur, is in the employ of an American plantation owner named Samuel Walker. He is the owner of an important cotton plantation that has a strong reputation and it is rumored that he tried to kill himself. According to his mother, he died there at age 25. After some time at his plantation, Walter married Margareta, a widow who had been living with her nephew. When Walt’s mother, Margareta Margareta, is captured by the rebels, his uncle, Samuel Walker, steals everything she owns and travels east to try to kill her as well. He is followed by Margareta and his aunt, Mary, who find a trail of blood and a broken sword. It is revealed that Samuel Walker is also involved in the plot. When Saul and his uncle kill Samuel while he is sleeping in a nearby inn, the two escape out of the way.
Margareta becomes very angry when the rebels have captured Samuel Walker; he blames them for killing his aunt. When Saul, on another mission and to rescue her, accidentally stabs Samuel with a knife, as Saul had done in one of his previous adventures, Margareta’s anger manifests in a kind of rage as he yells at him “Let go of me, you slob!”. She is extremely angry at Saul for what happens to him and he responds with “You did no good for them. You know your life is in danger.” (Shakespeare’s The Tempest).
Mira is furious at Saul’s betrayal of her, which causes Marie to believe Walt betrayed her. However, when Walt says that he was the one who had her first heart attack while in his tent, Margareta is more angry than ever. When Walt learns that Margareta murdered her aunt, Marie feels betrayed in jealousy, and she tries to protect Walt, but it becomes apparent that
Walt, still a child, had years yet to serve before he could be released from his bondage. In that time, he was never able to shake the feeling that he was not the biological child of Elias and Flora Disney. The father, who he disowned, however, was more influential on Walt than anyone could have realized. Walt was privy to reap the benefits of Elias socialist views and membership in the American Social Democratic Party, which included evening lectures against the capitalist system, exploitation of the working class, and the international conspiracy of wealthy Jews in control of the worlds investment banks. Walt also received full instruction on the worldwide Jewish capitalist conspiracy, which would later become his own declared outlook, as demonstrated by his statements that the Jews were keeping him from entering production in Hollywood. He believed whole-heartedly that there was a Jewish-Marxist conspiracy to destroy him, his studio, and all that it stands for. Although hailed as a gentle man and revered as a loving father, Walter Elias Disney had learned racism and was an active participant thereof. Elias had indeed, made marks upon Walt that would last his life through.
When Walt was just 16, his father had once again decided the family needed to move across the country. This time, they would move to Chicago. Flora lobbied for and obtained the ability of Walt to remain and finish the school year; his brother Herbert, now 30, would return to serve as guardian. When the time came to return, however, Walt remained against his brothers wishes. He had received a letter from Roy, the brother he most admired and idolized. Roy was coming to town, having secured a job as bank teller and looked forward to seeing his younger brother again. When he arrived, they immediately hung out; Roy filled Walts head with fanciful tales of romance and adventure working as a “news butcher”, selling newspapers, cigars, cigarettes, matches, & soft drinks on the Kansas to Missouri rail route. Walt, wanting to emulate his brother and eager to experience the same things, lied about his age to get his own route as news butcher working Missouri to Colorado. But, with no aptitude for the job, he owed the company at the end of the summer for unsold inventory.
When America went to war in 1941, Roy enlisted directly, eager to fight for his country. He was sent to Great Lakes Naval Base just outside of Chicago. That is where Walt visited him and where his mind was filled with second-hand stories that soldiers who had been overseas fighting had relayed to Roy. When he returned home, his curiosity boiled over and he decided he would enlist also. His brothers,
