Yesterworld: How Walt Disney's Snow White Changed Animation Forever - A History of "Disney's Folly" 

A damn shame that the only features he ever won Oscars for were his nature documentaries, and Mary Poppins was the only film to get nominated for Best Picture (Snow White and Fantasia only getting "honorary" Oscars)

Correction, he was an influential asshole that took all the credit. Just like Steve Jobs.

MrHEC381991 He don't have all the credit. He was a creative force and all was primarily his Vision. He deserves most of the credit, of course.

If you go to the Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco, you can see the bracelet there. It's pretty neat.

Not the only Oscar snub for Disney, in 1982 movie Tron, the film was disqualified from receiving an Academy Award nomination for special effects, because the Academy felt at the time that using computers was "cheating".

lol, that kinda reminds me of the people today complaining about CGI and want stop motion to come back.

And especially 2D animation and mature CGI movies

They've since given two or three of them a Best Picture nomination, but none have won.

Tron's computer special effects weren't as easy as today either. It was quite a process that definitely deserved recognition.

Hi Disney Dan

OMG That gives me an idea, one of you should do a video on Yesterland.com

You are just the most awesome person!

50 cents of 1930s money is around 8 dollars in today's fare. Still cheap, for sure.

Dr170 So Nothing has changed huh except for the politics. There still snobby douchebags. Who think they can tell us what to do with our freedoms

And Snow White is a big reason for that.

Thanks, truly appreciate it!

Johnathon Barker I can see why Freeform decided to marathon that film on Super Bowl Sunday a couple of months ago (as of the time I posted this reply).

Sara Houck Okay then, cool.

daryl turcott I’m sure you can find it on the internet or local libraries if they have a paper search machine

Dan Shull Despicable Me finished the job.

I noticed the same thing, I do think that one of the titles was suppose to say "domestic".

plz

Yeah he won a couple Oscars for some of his short cartoons too, but it would have been nice to see him win a Oscar for one of his full length animated films.

@@cooperwolfe5478 yeah, if you count the awards for short films (animated and documentary) than he has won more awards than anyone else ever has or will

@@Viking_Luchador Yeah I agree. I’ll say this, It would be interesting if Disney decided to make a biopic about Walt Disney.

@@cooperwolfe5478 there was a movie called "Walt Before Mickey" a few years ago, but it wasn't produced by Disney. It stars Thomas Ian Nichols as Walt Disney (who as a kid starred in the Disney movie "A Kid in King Arthur's Court", along with the non-Disney "Rookie of the Year") as well as Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite) as Roy Disney. It wasn't that good. I'd give it a 4/10 Before that, there were rumors that Disney was making a movie simply called "Walt" and would star Ryan Gosling. Unfortunately, like so many other projects (especially Disney projects) this never left the planning stage. I worry that is Disney was to make a movie about their founder, they'd too easily gloss over some of the less flattering details about his life, and just reinforce his public image. I think that happens all too often when people are producers in movies about their own lives. I'll give "Bohemian Rhapsody" as an example. Great film, wonderfully acted. But Brian May & Roger Taylor were executive producers. So even though it's well known to rock historians than Queen was one of the wildest partying bands of their era, the movie only portrays Freddie Mercury as the one drinking, doing coke, and having random sex, while they are the sensible voices of reason in his life. This isn't always the case though. Johnny Cash and Ray Charles both knew they were at the ends of their lives, so when they were asked permission to make movies about them, they both insisted that the directors show everything, even when they were at their absolute worst -- don't romanticize me.

@@Viking_Luchador I completely agree with you. I think it also depends if the company that a figure was associated with supervises the film. I don’t know if you’ve seen the film The Founder (which is a great movie, I definitely recommend). but that was about how Ray Kroc essentially stole McDonald’s away from the McDonald’s brothers, and while it makes him out to be the villain, because it doesn’t criticize the company McDonald’s was cool with the film.

Color in films back then was a complicated process Example 3D Though successful the technology used to make it was primative

If they aren’t we should make a petition to get your videos monetized.

Most of them are, though I'm extremely careful to make sure I don't violate any terms. Sometimes have to submit for a personal review based on generic flags. Appreciate your words, but thankfully I've been ok thus far.

You should label your videos as education so you don’t get flagged because there is no reason these videos should be flagged, you don’t even do RU-vid for the money so they need a new system.

Walt literally put everything he had on the line to make it work. He wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He hired the animators, kept everyone on the same page and working towards a vision. He made it happen. Those who dare win. You'd be surprised what people can accomplish when they give a damn.

Those who hate beauty and love ugliness not only draw cartoons as hideous, spiteful nightmares but also hate and want to destroy beauty and those who love beauty, hence why John K. lashed out at CalArts, the animation college Walt founded to pass on the Disney way, not for making the cheap garbage CalArts gets blamed for but for raising up quality animators such as Don Bluth that wanted to carry on Disney's way, as John K. is a meticulous creative in his own right but incredibly cynical and wanting the world to see everything as ugly, repulsed by the likes of Walt Disney and Don Bluth, and one could say that Family Guy's creator Seth MacFarlane also pushes ugliness and cynicism, condemning sweetness as saccharine and beauty as unrealistic.

Did you watch the video? Walt Disney acted out the entire story of Snow White for his imagineers. Clearly, this was Walt's vision.

So what? All he did was look at all the hard work that he asked his employees to do and gave it the thumbs up. Also, if it weren't for rotoscoping(Fleischer), Snow White probably would've failed.

MrHEC381991 You are understimating Disney's influence and artistry. Besides, no man in this movie must receive all credit. All the staff AND Walt Disney deserve credit. Not only the staff or only Disney himself. A project of this magnitude could not have been made by a single person. This was a very hard project with many people. But the biggest head behind the whole movie was Disney, it was his film, his risk.
