      It seems to me that these “brainchild” companies become a whole different creature once they hit success and lose control over the decision-making process. EA itself was once a small studio of about a dozen guys intensely passionate about “electronic activities.” Apple stopped being the underdog force of innovation once Steve Jobs left.

    So the original version of Epcot was essentially Rapture but on land? No wonder I both like what Disney does but I'm at the same time creeped out by it. It's ironic that an hyper-capitalist utopia city took on Socialistic design choices (central ring, all public transport, etc.) which just encapsulates the 1950s in a nutshell.

    • @36inc
      @36inc 6 років тому +25

      Hyper capitalism hasn't really happened yet. A hyper capitalist society looks more like ghost in the shell. Where data far outweighs materials in worth, to the point where even the meager deal in it. He was in the post monopoly era regulated capitalism. Central planning of course is not unique to socialists the biggest difference would be the ability to leave and the fact that epcot would still need to follow federal law. Thus epcot woulda been more like how we treat private camps and other attractions.
      I'm pretty sure the epcot idea is what inspired atlas shrugged. The game is based on( and really fumbles by relying on a crazy amount of coincidences to criticize the ideas in the book.)

      Creepy, yes, but in a corporate authoritarian way, rather than Andrew Ryan's Social Darwinist capitalist-anarchism.

  • @CocoHutzpah
    @CocoHutzpah 6 років тому +28

    This is well-timed. I've been reading the biography, "Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination" after work. It's well worth reading if you have interest in Walt Disney. He wasn't the best at drawing, animating, or directing, but he could tell a good story and he didn't stop at anything to make his dreams a reality. I find that beyond admirable and I hope to gain those qualities myself. His dedication to his visions were tyrannical. For example, many of his animators were disgruntled by the abuse of Disney and turned coat with Charlie Mintz.
    While he could achieve his dreams and his drive towards innovation are amazing, I can't help but feel that his control of EPCOT wouldn't work out unless he changed himself. Without much doubt, it would have ended up as a real-life Rapture.

      @MrMarinus18 5 років тому +3

      I don't know about his storytelling abilities since almost his entire success is from making movies based on the work of others. What Walt Disney really excelled at was management, marketing and business. He could make high quality movies relatively cheaply, get them to a wide audiance and keep a consistent quality.
      Efficiency was a big part of his success. Others could make movies that were on par with Disney if not superior but they would bankrupt themselves if the movie wasn't a smash hit. Disney could make those movies cheaply enough that he could make a profit from only a modest return. Also marketing was a big thing, he could really sway a crowd and understood that marketing is more important to success than the quality of the movie. Finally he maintained a consistent quality which is something Disney is still known for. Many people go see Disney movies just for the fact that they are Disney movies.

      Not racism, it's true that Anglosaxons and other European tribes (and those people descended from those tribes) have controlled so much in America. American Industry was made off White people, it wasn't Blacks, Arabs or Hispanics and though they're starting to contribute, they can't do anything about the years of White companies like Disney, etc. It's good that we're starting to see other races do so much (Black people founding and being at the face of businesses, etc) now. Sadly, it was now and not thousands of years ago. Vikings, Romans and other Euro-centric peoples are thought of as conquerors, when it's not just them. We've had Islanders and Native peoples conquer so much, Blacks and Arabs have also conquered, and maybe Latinos conquered? I sound like a SJW for this long-ass block of words, but Whites are largely the face of everything (which the Libtards have correct.)

    Just a thought in Alternate History: if Disney existed in the world of the Southern Victory series, his family home in Missouri/Kansas would be awfully close to the Mason/Dixon line; which is where most of the trench warfare took place. Disney never leaves to France for he might have enrolled joined the war close to home. Again he might have been too young to fight and would still do mercenary work like in our timeline.
    If he lives till the end of the war (from which the Central powers which America has become part of wins ww1), his family moves to Kansas City, and his ambitions of being a filmmaker flourish.
    Also within this timeline Ub Iwerks is Ubbe Eert Iwwerks as there was no abolishment of German heritage in ww1 like in our timeline.
    Maybe because of Disney being closer to the war would mean he’d profit more propaganda cartoons about fighting the south like what he did with fighting Nazis in our timeline. Just a thought.

    A little redirection. Ub Iwerks was a very talented man, but he was married to the old style of animation. He was indeed one of, if not the, best animators that worked in the 20s who was very good at making his characters likable and personable. Not only was he very good, but he was very FAST. 600 drawings a day type of fast. In that he was in a league of his own. However, once he left, it actually turned out to be for Disney's benefit. You see, while Iwerks was incredibly talented, his actual animation was fairly close to the industry standards of the time. Once they stopped relying on Iwerks' peerless production, Disney's animators set about revolutionizing the industry by developing modern animation techniques that are still followed to this day.
    By the time Iwerks was brought back to Disney only 10 years later, the company had made probably the most impressive leap in an artform that we've ever seen. They went from the relatively crude Steamboat Willie and other Mickey shorts, to the ridiculously polished animation of Pinocchio and the other Golden Age films that are in many ways unrivaled to this day in terms of animation craftsmanship. Ub Iwerks, was still only in his 30s when he went back to Disney, but was hopelessly behind the times. And so he worked on special effects. And it turned out he was awesome at that as well.

    "You can only expect so much space when in the middle of a city."
    Anaheim was not a city when Disneyland was built. It was a farm county and Disneyland was built on an orange grove. There was plenty of miles of space but Walt could only buy so much land at the time. And when Disneyland became a hit it drew in many motels and resturants leading to the big city that the area is today.

    My great grandfather was an artist and cartoonist, and just before WW2 he got an offer to work for Disney as an animator. But then the war started and he got drafted so he had to turn down the offer. Although it's cool to think that I'm related to an almost veteran Disney animator.

    I know it's a stupidly minor, pathetic first-world-problem and typical-whiney-people-on-the-internet-are-resistant-to change complaint to have but... the stock footage is really distracting. It really takes me out of the narrative watching unrelated stock footage, especially when it's all glossy and HD and the subject matter is set in the 20s. I get having to keep up with the times and evolving the videos etc etc, but it's really taken that Knowledge Hub style out of the videos. That's part of what made these videos endearing. Who doesn't wanna see a poorly animated jaggedy-lined Walt Disney popping across a map on his journey to Cali?
