La storia della Disney

Cento anni dell’azienda che fa sognare grandi e piccoli… Sebbene oggi sia una tra le più grandi Società del mondo, la Walt Disney Company esordì come piccolo studio di animazione, nel garage del nonno di Walt e Roy Disney, inaugurato il 16 ottobre 1923 con la serie Alice nel paese delle meraviglie. Nel 1925, Walt Disney convinse suo fratello a rinominare lo studio e nacquero così i Walt Disney Studios. Dopo diversi successi, e insuccessi, i primi cartoni animati di Topolino, rispettivamente Plane Crazy e Steamboat Willie, si rivelarono al grande pubblico, nel 1928, ed erano i primi con il sonoro. Walt Disney fu, così, in grado di espandere la sua azienda con le filiari della Walt Disney Enterprises, Disney Film Recording Company e Liled Realty and Investment Company. Nel corso degli anni Trenta ci fu l’introduzione di quelli che sarebbero diventati alcuni tra i personaggi più amati della Disney, come Pluto, nel 1930, Pippo nel 1932 e Paperino, nel 1934 e nel 1937 che uscì il primo lungometraggio d’animazione, Biancaneve e i sette nani, oggi un cult nella storia del Cinema. L’anno successivo, le società vennero fuse con il nome di Walt Disney Productions e, nel 1940, la casa di produzione fece uscire due classici come Pinocchio e Fantasia. Nonostante l’espansione degli Studios, l’incursione degli Stati Uniti nella Seconda Guerra Mondiale causò un rallentamento della produzione cinematografica e la Disney decise di dedicarsi alla propaganda governativa. I successivi 10 anni proseguirono con film a basso budget, infatti Bambi rimase in produzione per 6 anni, prima della sua uscita nelle sale. Nel 1950, la Disney si riprese, con l’uscita di Cenerentola e, nel 1952, venne avviato il progetto del parco a tema Disneyland. La morte di Walt nel 1966 non mise la parola fine alla vita di un colosso che non aveva eguali. Nel 1983, la Disney divenne internazionale con l'apertura di Tokyo Disneyland, subì anche tentativi di acquisizione durante questo periodo, ma alla fine si riprese e ebbe un lungo periodo di successo con Michael D. Eisner come presidente. La Disney continuò ad espandere la sua influenza nel mercato dagli anni Ottanta, a partire da Disney Channel on cable, oltre a ideare studi, come Touchstone Pictures, ottenere una base ancora più ampia nel settore. Nel 2005, Bob Iger venne scelto per assumere il ruolo di CEO da Eisner e un anno dopo la Disney acquistò Pixar per aprirsi allo sviluppo dei suoi studi di animazione digitale, con enormi successi cinematografici come Toy Story, Alla ricerca di Nemo"e Gli incredibili tra gli altri. Iger divenne presidente nel 2009 e riportò la società su prodotti più orientati alla famiglia. Nel 2009, la società acquisì la Marvel Entertainment e annunciò alla fine del 2012 l’acquisizione della Lucasfilm, che includeva il franchise di Star Wars, poi ha continuato la sua espansione digitale nel 2014 acquisendo i produttori di contenuti di YouTube Maker Studios, trasformando la rete in Disney Digital Network nel 2017.

Week 5 - On Twain’s Sphinx and the Horror of Memory

I’m, as a rule, not terribly fond of creative nonfiction. It’s just one of those genres that’s never appealed to me personally. Although I’m not exactly a comedy person, either, I do think Twain’s work here shows the appeal of both genres in a way that didn’t really click before. This admiration comes about for me especially in regards to the section where he contemplates the Sphinx in Innocents Abroad:

It was looking toward the verge of the landscape, yet looking at nothing—nothing but distance and vacancy. It was looking over and beyond everything of the present and far into the past. It was gazing out over the ocean of Time—over lines of century waves which, further and further receding, closed nearer and nearer together, and blended at last into one unbroken tide, away toward the horizon of remote antiquity. It was thinking of the wars of departed ages; of the empires it had seen created and destroyed; of the nations whose birth it had witnessed, whose progress it had watched, whose annihilation it had noted; of the joy and sorrow, the life and death, the grandeur and decay, of five thousand slow revolving years. It was the type of an attribute of man—of a faculty of his heart and brain. It was MEMORY—RETROSPECTION—wrought into visible, tangible form. (Mort 147-148).

Remarkably poetic and serious for something out of Twain! (Although he, of course, follows it up with scathing satire just a couple of paragraphs later.) So we’ve got a lot of contemplation on memory here, line upon line meditating on how much the Sphinx has seen and remembers, to the point where it starts to read as a kind of anxiety. He says just a paragraph after on that “the sphinx is grand in its loneliness,” but how enviable a position is it to preside “over the ocean of Time,” though? I’m reminded of the Jorge Luis Borges story, Funes the Memorius, where the titular character is physically unable to forget anything:

Funes could continuously discern the tranquil advances of corruption, of decay, of fatigue. He could note the progress of death, of dampness. He was the solitary and lucid spectator of a multiform, instantaneous, and almost intolerably precise world. [...] I suspect, however, that he was not very capable of thought. To think is to forget differences, generalize, make abstractions. In the teeming world of Funes, there were only details, almost immediate in their presence. (153-154; emphasis mine)

This story comes to mind not only because of the emphasis Twain places on the Sphinx’s observation and complete retention of things past, but the weight he places on the faultless empirical memory of the steamboat captain, as our class observed in Week 2 with Life on the Mississippi. Funes and Twain’s Sphinx, “solitary and lucid spectator[s] of an almost intolerably precise world,” basically act as the same figure. The Sphinx has seen everything, all nations and wars and empires, but in that absolute recollection, he loses the ability to truly think, be anything other than stone. I do wonder, then, how much of Twain’s seeming anxiety about the Sphinx’s memory might be traced back to that horror, the horror of the steamboat captain’s precise memory.

Michael Theodore Mouse, mais conhecido como Mickey, foi criado em 18 de novembro de 1928 no curta animado mudo Plane Crazy, porém, antes que o trabalho pudesse ser finalizado, o som começou a ser usado nas telas do cinema. Desta forma, Mickey teve a sua estreia com o desenho sonoro intitulado "Steamboat Willie" (o famoso assobio presente em todos os filmes atuais da Walt Disney Studios). O próprio Walt Disney foi o primeiro dublador oficial do Mickey (e da Minnie também!). Ele deixou o posto em 1946, quando ficou muito ocupado para cumprir com as rotinas de gravação. O fato de Walt fumar muito também contribuiu, pois alterou sua voz.

Mickey não foi a primeira escolha de Disney para o nome do personagem. Ele originalmente se chamaria Mortimer, mas a mulher de Disney lhe disse que não combinava com o personagem. O arqui-inimigo de Mickey acabou sendo batizado como Mortimer.

Especula-se que o camundongo foi inspirado em um ratinho de estimação que havia em um dos primeiros estúdios nos quais Disney trabalhou antes de se mudar para Hollywood. Ele costumava alimentar o bichinho e cuidar dele.

Walt Disney confirmou que Mickey e Minnie são sim casados, mas são “discretos” sobre o assunto. E eles vivem em casas separadas. A história de amor de Mickey e Minnie rendeu frutos na vida real. Os dubladores do casal de camundongos, Wayne Allwine e Russi Taylor, se casaram em 1991 e ficaram juntos até a morte dele, em 2009.

Sabe a famosa luvinha branca do Mickey? Os animadores optaram pela cor branca para que se pudesse ver os contornos das mãos, pois na cor preta eles não aparecem. Falando em mãos, Mickey tem quatro dedos os motivos eram tempo e dinheiro: a produção de um dedo a mais em cada mão era mais caro e demorado.

Mickey é o primeiro personagem animado a ter uma estrela na Calçada da Fama, em Hollywood. Ele recebeu a homenagem quando completou 50 anos.

Atualmente o Mickey tem 90 anos e continua sendo um ícone para todas as pessoas de todas as idades!

Steamboats of the Arrow Lakes - Wikipedia

Sidewheeler

Lytton

sometime between 1890 and 1895, on Upper Arrow Lake

The era of steamboats on the Arrow Lakes and adjoining reaches of the Columbia River is long-gone but was an important part of the history of the West Kootenay and Columbia Country regions of British Columbia. The Arrow Lakes[1] are formed by the Columbia River in southeastern British Columbia. Steamboats were employed on both sides of the border in the upper reaches of the Columbia, linking port-towns on either side of the border, and sometimes boats would be built in one country and operated in the other. Tributaries of the Columbia include the Kootenay River which rises in Canada, then flows south into the United States, then bends north again back into Canada, where it widens into Kootenay Lake. As with the Arrow Lakes, steamboats once operated on the Kootenay River and Kootenay Lake.

The Arrow Lakes route was accessible from the north, by a rail connection with the Canadian Pacific Railway at Revelstoke, where the CPR crosses the Columbia River. The Arrow Lakes Route was also accessible from the south, at Northport, Washington, also on the Columbia River, where there was also a rail connection. The Columbia River crossed the border near Boundary, Washington, which was about 749 miles from the mouth of the Columbia, if traced along the river's route. Revelstoke was 937 miles from the mouth of the Columbia, so the total distance of the Arrow Lakes route was 182 miles from Revelstoke to Boundary.[2]

Towns along the route, from north to south were Northport, Washington, Fort Colvile, Washington, and Trail, BC. After Trail, the Columbia widened into Lower Arrow Lake. Towns and landings along Lower Arrow Lake were Robson, Edgewood, Needles, Fauquier, Burton, and Graham Landing. North of Grand Landing, the lake narrowed and became more like a river. After this stretch, it widened into Upper Arrow Lake. Towns and landings along Upper Arrow Lake included Nakusp, Arrowhead and on a short northeasterly branch of the lake, Comaplix and Beaton. North of Arrowhead, the lake narrowed and became the Columbia River again, up to the next major town, which was Revelstoke.

Initial steamboats placed on the route[edit]

The first steamboat on the route was the Forty-Nine, built to service a brief gold rush on the Big Bend of the Columbia River, attempting the run from Marcus, Washington Terr., just above Kettle Falls, to the La Porte, one of the main boomtowns of the rush, which was site at the foot of the infamous and also impassable Dalles des Morts or Death Rapids, which were at the head of river navigation but also just below the richest of the Big Bend's goldfields, on the Goldstream River which meets the Columbia just upstream. Another major goldfield, Downie Creek, joined the Columbia just below the rapids and was the site of the boomtown Downie Creek, British Columbia, another port-of-call on the run. When the gold rush ended, Forty-Nine was withdrawn for lack of clientele, and the captain gave free passage out of the Big Bend area for those who could not afford passage.[3][4][5] After that, the small steam launch Alpha ran supplies up to Revelstoke (then called Farwell) where the Canadian Pacific Railway was building a crossing over the Columbia River for its transcontinental line. In 1885, a much larger vessel, the sternwheeler Kootenai, was built at the Little Dalles at Northport, Washington Terr.,[3] for the CPR, but grounded in September of that year, and was laid up for a number of years afterwards. After that, three businessmen formed the Columbia Transportation Company, and put Dispatch on the Arrow Lakes route. The Dispatch (sometimes spelled "Despatch") was a clunky-looking catamaran, which first ran on August 9, 1888. Her owners made enough money from her operations to buy the Marion, which had been operating above the Big Bend. She was shipped over and launched at Revelstoke.[5]

The owners of the Columbia Transportation Company brought in some bigger businessmen, J.A. Mara, Frank S. Barnard, and Captain John Irving, who formed the Columbia River and Kootenay Steam Navigation Company on January 21, 1890, with a capital of $100,000. In 1889 through 1890, the new firm purchased the idle Kootenai for $10,000 and built and launched the Lytton at Revelstoke, which was ready for service in July, 1890. The first trip taken by the Lytton on July 2, 1890 was transporting rails and other track-building supplies south through the Arrow Lakes to Sproat's Landing, where the Kootenay River flowed into the Columbia, for a railroad that the CPR was building from the landing to Nelson on Kootenay Lake. The trip was 150 miles each way, and Lytton averaged 12 1⁄3 miles an hour downstream and 11 miles an hour upstream, including stops for wooding up and minor repairs.[5]

By August 1890, American interests had completed a railroad, called the Spokane Falls and Northern, from Spokane Falls (later simply Spokane) to Little Dalles, Washington (Northport). Lytton, Kootenai and the Arrow Lakes route formed a link between the northern CPR railhead at Revelstoke the Arrow Lake to the southern railhead at Little Dalles.[5]

, sometime between 1890 and 1894

After the successful 1890 season, the Columbia & Kootenay Steam Navigation Company decided to expand the fleet by adding a new sternwheeler, Columbia, built at Little Dalles, and launched in 1891, at price of $75,000. She remained under American registry. Once Columbia was in service, C&KSN was able to run two roundtrip boats weekly from Revelstoke to Little Dalles. The critical nature of the Arrow Lakes steamboat route can be judged by the fact that when the steamboats were not running, mail from Revelstoke to Nelson, on Kootenay Lake, took 10 to 14 days, as opposed to the two days during the summer steamboat season.[5]

C&KSN also brought up from Oregon one of the best steamboat captains on the Columbia River, James W. Troup, to manage its operations on Arrow and Kootenay lakes. Troup had to deal with a number of challenges, including irregular schedules, and ice and low water blocking operations. At one point, the water level, apparently in the narrows between upper and lower Arrow Lakes, was so low that only the small Dispatch and Marion could make the run between the lakes. Troup built Illecillewaet at Revelstoke, launched October 30, 1892, and "'designed to float on dew.'" She was small, and apparently ugly, but was a big improvement over dispatch, and could operate in low water when no other boat could.[5]

In 1893, a rail extension was built from Arrowhead to a junction with the CPR mainline at Revelstoke. Boats no longer needed to steam up the shallow waters of the Columbia between the north end of Upper Arrow Lake and Revelstoke, and Arrowhead now became the effective northern head of navigation.[5]

Lytton was driven ashore by a storm on July 26, 1896, near Nakusp, and had to be withdrawn from service for emergency repair work at Nakusp. On August 2, 1894, Columbia was destroyed by fire just north of the international border. This took out both of the C&KSN's passenger steamers, leaving only Illecillewaet and Kootenai were moving the freight business, which was mostly related to rail construction. Troup needed a replacement for Columbia right way, so he brought in the Bulger family, experienced steamboat builders from Portland, Oregon, to run the shipyards at Nakusp and at Nelson, and to build Columbia's replacement.[5]

On July 1, 1895, the new sternwheeler, Nakusp, was launched from the shipyard at the city of the same name. This vessel was the largest yet seen on the Arrow Lakes, 1034 tons, almost twice the tonnage of Columbia. She was luxurious in a way other vessels never had been.[5]
