The Disney corporation has been a rival to the Warner bros.
corporation for years. Walt Disney was said to be very strict and
conservative when it came to animation. But what many do not know was
that he used a technique called rotoscoping, which is the process of
taking film cells and tracing over them. This is how he created many of
his works including the first....Snow White.
The Warners bros. corporation on the other hand followed liberal
views.
These two top competitors have been at each others throats for a very
long time. Disney was concerned with the story rather than the
art...though art was his life. He had a very bad habit of stealing
other writers works. For example the Lion King origonated from a
childrens book....but where as differences could clearly be
seen.....similarities emerged such as the name Kimba instead of Simba.
I have heard that the Disney corp. is so thick that you cannot leave
the studios with a pencil or blank piece of paper from within the
confines of the studios. Warner bros. employees have no problem with
this.....they are too worried about the video games and remote control
cars they get to play with during breaks. Disney would have never
allowed this.
They are such huge rivals that atop the Disney studios is a giant
statue of Mickey mouse pointing....guess where he is
pointing.....directly at the top of the Warner bros. studios where two
giant statues of Batman and Superman stand with thier arms crossed over
thier chest.
And we all know that with the growing popularity of the 3D
animations....Disney signed up with Pixar and Warner Bros. went to
Dreamworks. Another way to keep the fued going. Pixar created a bugs
life.....dreamworks created Antz.....Pixar created Toy
Story.....dreamworks created Small Soldiers.....Pixar created Finding
Nemo.....dreamworks created A sharks Tale. It seems to be a neverending
war between the two worlds.
It is in my opinion that Disney, given the actions of his company
today should be rolling around in his grave.....in shame for all the
sequels that his artists created just to keep company revenue up.
