This week we have a Mickey Mouse Movie Meme - all about Disney films.
1. What is your favorite Disney film? If it's animated, what's your favorite live action film? My Favorite Disney film has the same title whether it is animated or live action, 101 Dalmations. Although the two movies each took a different approach to the story, both were funny and entertaining for children and adults.
2. What Disney character is your favorite, and why? Which character do you think is overrated and/or overused? (they don't have to be animated characters) My favorite animated Disnety characters are , of course, Pongo and Perdita and their puppies.
As for the most overrated and overused charater, I would have to say that it is Mickey Mouse. Although he is symbolic of the Disney corporation, the character has never held much appeal for me.
3. Why do you think the Disney appeal has endured so long and been so influential in American film and culture? Disney animation is ultimately the highest quality of animation produced in The United States. Another determining factor in Disney's continuing popularity is their ability to produce quality family films on a regular basis.
BONUS~ If you were Walt Disney and you suddenly came back from the dead (or got unfrozen, or had your head reattached, or whatever), what would be your impressions of what the company has made since you "died" (in 1966)? I would probably be shocked at how much the company had grown since my death. I also might be a bit upset by the material being produced by Touchstone (a part of the Disney corporation). My commitment was to producing family films...
