Will Walt come to the rescue? Apparently, a very familiar looking mouse called Farfur has a problem with Israel, America, and Jews. Fox News (along with plenty of other reporters) asks if Mickey would ever do such a thing. A few other reports made a point to say that the all powerful Disney Corporation has yet to comment. Not surprising they're holding they're tongue. After all, Walt and Farfur have plenty to discuss... I know Walt and Leni Riefenstahl used to get along swimmingly. Perhaps DisneyCo is just waiting to thaw the man out.
Walt Smiles From His Cyrogenic Freeze
the disney corp has just unleashed a new "educational children's comic book series" for use in public school classrooms. which is totally an awesome way to actually finally fully integrate one of the most powerful five corporations in the world directly into our educational system.
also, don't forget the ultimate relevant texts: How To Read Donald Duck: Imperialist Ideology in the Disney Comic (order from Microcosm: -- $13.00 (9 oz) - 120 pages, photocopied, full sized) and AIR PIRATES nos. 1 and 2.
also: totally not true that they froze his head. sucks, but there it is. anyway, do they need to? it's not like the dude coming back is possibly going to have any MORE influence over our culture.
Also, on the more academic side, there is the recent award-winning book by my fantabulous friend Nic Sammond:
Babes in Tomorrowland: Walt Disney and the Making of the American Child, 1930-1960
Disney's political pedagogy has been well demystified in a few books, most notably Henry Giroux's The Mouse that Roared.
I think Disney has more to answer for unleashing Justin, Christina and Britney upon the world than any majick markered bootleg mickey helmet zealot.
