Bob Iger once said “The heart and soul of a company is creativity and innovation.” And I think that is true, however Bob Iger is a businessman, he runs one of the most wealthy and most beloved companies in the world today, The Walt Disney Company. And because he is a businessman, of course he wouldn’t see the full picture of those words he spoke. A better way of saying that quote instead would be. “The heart and soul of a person is created by their creativity and innovation.” Now, the reason I…

While most reviews you would find for this movie are overwhelmingly positive…

The majority of large animation producers of the time were drafted in to produce informational films for a number of different aspects of the war effort.

It seemed that animation had begun to move away from the notion that it could only be used as a form of entertainment. It was now being utilized for its ability to convey…
