Known as walt disney, Walter Elias Disney left a great legacy in the world of cinema. In addition to co-founding The Walt Disney Company, walter was a film producer, cinematographer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist.
The creator of numerous famous characters up to the present day, such as Snow White, the couple Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Princess Ariel, among others, was recognized for his pioneering spirit in the field of animations with Disney, and also for having idealized a complex of theme parks in the country where I lived, in the United States.
However, despite this entire portfolio of waltz, he was always a very perfectionist person with his creations, always having high expectations for his projects. Knowing this, RECREIO went after 5 things that walt disney disliked in its own animations. Check it out below:
1. The style of 101 Dalmatians
With a drawing style that goes back to a dirty and scribbled drawing appearance, in ‘101 Dalmatians’, as reported by a production connoisseur, says that such style happened due to the use of a Xerox machine so that the animation became something faster and easy. Although, waltz did not like this style very much and found it difficult to get used to this aesthetic.
2. Alice’s Heartlessness
In ‘Alice in Wonderland’, with its release in 1951, it was criticized even by Time, which, at the time, claimed that the film “lacks a developed plot”.
The most curious thing is that waltz agreed with this claim. According to the book of leonard maltin‘The Disney Films’, the creator of the animation did not like the title character’s lack of heart.
3. Peter Pan’s Coolness
Even though he is a much-loved character in the original novel, Peter Pan still has some not-so-nice attitudes, for example being selfish and stubborn.
However, even with the production of disney not showing this insensitive side of the boy, waltz was disappointed with the situation. Furthermore, bob thomas says that that waltz thought Peter was cold in the biography ‘Walt Disney: An American Original’.
4. Goofy
One of Disney’s clumsiest characters, Goofy even has his own movie. However, if Walt were still alive, the public probably would not see a movie of the character. The reason? Second Neal Gabler in an interview republished by The Mouse Castle, waltz viewed the character as a step backwards for the production company, just being “stupid cartoons with jokes tied in”.
5. The spaghetti scene from ‘Lady and the Tramp’
The moment when the two dogs share the spaghetti, to walt disney it was a silly scene, as revealed in behind-the-scenes footage from the 2006 re-release of the film. frank thomas did the scene in secret so that the filmmaker would let it stay in production.
