...The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas The scenes of Mickey Mouse “The sorcerer’s Apprentice” by Paul Dukas deviously disobeying his master sorcerer’s wishes to pale water in buckets by hand, is etched into the minds of many children abroad. In many ways this clever adaptation to the film set attributes to the success and popularity of the piece. The score itself is much like that of what is to be found during the third movement of a typical symphony; the scherzo. Literally meaning ‘joke’ in Italian, the scherzo is light-hearted in step and often made of compounded rhythms to simulate a waltz or dance form. Appropriately this is where the cusp of the piece derives much of its remembrance, but it begins much more mysterious and dark in its opening passage through vibrating backdrops of violins, and haunting trills of woodwind. This scene is where the apprentice and sorcerer part for the night, before the sudden gasp of the full orchestra is hurled into action as the sorcerer leaves the space, thus allowing his shorter company to run amuck in the wee hours of the night. The apprentice and his stolen wand, quickly put to work magical hordes of broom sticks, complete with arms, legs and an uncanny attitude. The music is quickly molded through a sparse uncertain introduction eventually picking up speed as each new broom take a life...

...Many parents feel that Disney animated films are pure and wholesome, and they are perfectly suitable for children to watch starting at very young ages. On the surface of Disney movies, they are quite wholesome and they try to teach life lessons, but do these movies really portray positive images of men and women that will help a child become an individual, or do Disney movies place ideas in children’s heads, at early ages, telling them how they should act, feel, and live. In an article printed on December third 1966 in Time magazine, the author proposed that Disney films were just as much for adults as they were for children. “Disney always maintained that he made films not for children but for "honest adults."”(time.com). Anyone who has seen a Disney animated film can see that most of these movies are based on adult situations that involve the union of man and women in one way or another. For as long as Walt Disney animated films have been around, spanning eight decades, they have made a great impact on the way children view themselves and others, and they help shape how children view the opposite sex in a negative way. Most people were exposed to the wonderful world of Disney animated films when they were still toddlers. And since people are exposed to this material at such young ages, these films tend to give children an early idea of how men and women, according to Walt Disney studios, interact with each other. They also show children at an early age how people of their...

...Walt Disney “We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.” This famous quote was said by someone that most/ if not all of us loved as a child. He was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, and philanthropist. He was nominated for 48 Academy awards and 7 Emmy’s, holding the record for most Oscar nominations. Can you guess who it is? Yes, I am talking about the one and only Walter Disney. Walt was born on December 5, 1901. Dropped out of high school at age 16 to join the military and became an ambulance driver overseas in W.W.I. Although, Walt Disney, didn’t graduate high school he did win honorary degrees from several universities such as Yale, Harvard and UCLA. Walt became the successful person that we know today because of all of his many creations. In 1923, Disney moved to Los Angeles to become a film producer or director. When he failed to find a job, he returned to his love of producing cartoons. His first studio was actually in the back half of a real estate office. Finally he gained success in 1928, when he released the first short cartoons that featured Mickey Mouse. Walt Disney himself played the voice of Mickey for over 2 decades. The mouse’s name was originally “Mortimer.” He was later renamed by Disney's wife, Lillian, to, "Mickey." Along with his creation of Mickey Mouse, Walt Disney was personally involved in the production of 19 animated...

... A antítese do brincar é o real. O poeta faz o mesmo que a criança ao brincar: cria um mundo de fantasia, leva-o a sério, investe nele grande quantidade de emoção - catexia - e distingue-o muito bem da realidade. Ao crescerem, diz Freud, as pessoas param de brincar e perdem o prazer da infância. Mas não renunciam a ele. Trocam-no por outro, pelo fantasiar. Criam devaneios, difíceis de observar, porque os adultos se envergonham de suas fantasias e as ocultam, por serem infantis e, muitas vezes, por serem proibidas. Conhecemos essas fantasias, porque muitas pessoas, vítimas de doenças nervosas, são obrigadas a revelar a um médico seus devaneios, para serem curadas. A Psicanálise é a melhor fonte de conhecimento das fantasias dos adultos, realizações de desejos reprimidos. Assim, a ênfase que Freud coloca na infância, ao analisar uma obra de arte como a de Leonardo Da Vinci, por exemplo, deriva da suposição de que a obra literária como o devaneio é um substituto do brincar infantil. A Psicanálise descreve as leis da vida psicológica humana de pessoas célebres para ilustrar a teoria freudiana sobre o Inconsciente. A Psicanálise não pretende explicar a criação artística, pois para Freud, o poeta é uma espécie de feiticeiro, guiado pela inspiração. As pulsões que levam um artista a criar seriam as mesmas que levam outras pessoas à neurose. Porém, o artista exprime suas fantasias, torna-as aceitáveis e até prazerosas a outros, realizando os desejos próprios e os alheios. Freud...

...Undoubtedly, the musical composition Rhapsody in Blue can be determined as one of the most recognized elements in terms of the jazz development in the 1920s; the composer, George Gershwin, combined the solo of classical pianoforte, the spirit of concert hall, and encouraging style of jazz in order to create the best-known piece of American concert music. Speaking more personally, I think that not merely the overall mood of an instrumental part underlines the uniqueness of Rhapsody in Blue but also the way how composer delivers his main messages; the stream of consciousness or “open-ended” ideas are the central reason why people frequently reinterpret the author's thoughts in entirely different ways. From my perspective, George Gershwin composed...

...El laberinto del fauno En un mundo de bien y del mal, vive una chica inocente que experimenta el mundo en un tiempo de guerra, violencia y opresión. Para superar los tiempos turbulentos, ella debe confiar en su imaginación para llevarla a un mundo mucho más atractivo que su realidad. Las situaciones de la realidad y de la fantasía causan ella a llevar una vida de rebelde y desobediencia. Ofelia y otros personajes de El laberinto del fauno demuestran el tema de la desobediencia y la rebelión por causa de la situación real y en el caso de Ofelia, la situación de la fantasía. La desobediencia y la rebelión no siempre son buenos ni malos, sino que conducen a consecuencias que el hacedor experimentará. La rebelión no es solo una manifestación de los personajes principales, pero es un reflejo directo de la rebelión de los Republicanos contra el régimen de Francisco Franco en este período en España. Mercedes y Dr. Ferreiro exhibieron los primeros signos de rebelión. Los dos trabajaron contra Vidal y sus tropas para ayudar a los rebeldes con los suministros médicos y la comida. Hubo desobediencia en el viaje de Ofelia al bosque para recuperar la llave como se perdería la cena de la Capitán y arruinaría el hermoso vestido que le dio su madre. En la segunda tarea de Ofelia, ella no tiene la capaz a completar la tarea sin desobedecer las reglas que el fauno establecido.

...Accountability and Rhetoric during a Crisis: Walt Disney’s 1940 Letter to Stockholders Joel H. Amcrnic UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO and Russell J. Craig AUSTRALIAN NATIONAL UNIVERSITY ACCOUNTABILITY AND RHETORIC DURING A CRISIS: WALT DISNEY’S 1940 LETTER TO STOCKHOLDERS Abstract: In 1940, Walt Disney was faced with crafting a message of corporate accountability under duress. His company, the product of his creative genius, had been forced to submit to public accountability. It had a pressing need to raise preferred equity finance for a major expansion during a period of market uncertainty, war, and reported losses. This paper conducts a “close reading” of the “Letter to Stockholders” in Walt Disney Productions’ 1940 annual report, the first such letter signed by Walt Disney. The letter’s rhetorical features, including metaphor and ideology, are examined in the context of the times. What is revealed is an accountability document skillfully crafted with the exigencies faced by Disney’s company firmly in mind. The letter offers suggestive insight to the world as Disney made sense of it. The paper contributes to understanding the use of rhetoric by top management in activities related to aspects of financial accountability and reporting. It also helps to understand better a significant public persona of the 20th century, Walt Disnev. Acknowledgment The authors wish to acknowledge the helpful comments of the reviewers. SCOPE AND OBJECTIVES Analysis of annual reports, including letters...

...poema épico dividida en veinticuatro cantos. A través de ellos se narran los últimos tiempos del ataque de Troya. Se dice que la guerra de Troya se originó cuando el príncipe de Troya, Paris, raptó a la esposa de Agamenón, rey de Esparta. Esta guerra duro diez años. Desde la época clásica de Grecia hasta las generaciones de hoy día, se considera la Ilíada como una de las composiciones literarias mas importante de la Antigua Grecia. Esta poesía se le atribuye al poeta griego Homero. La Ilíada es un tema de constante debate ya que muchos historiadores, filósofos, antropólogos, en fin, muchos intelectos creen que este poema no narra algo verdadero y se preguntan si esta guerra de Troya verdaderamente ocurrió o si simplemente es un mito, una fantasía o pura ficción El debate comienza desde el propio autor Homero. Hoy día no se sabe a ciencia cierta si fue un autor o varios autores los creadores de la Ilíada. Juan Carlos Rodríguez en su libro “El desarme de la cultura. Una lectura de la Ilíada” alega que debido al determinante peso de esta tradición oral épica la Ilíada no pudo ser obra de un solo autor (Rodríguez, 2010, p.21) . Marco S. De Veri comenta que Homero ha sido el compositor, o al menos, el recopilador de la Ilíada y que no solo multiplicó esas tradiciones trasmitidas oralmente, si no que fue quien las organizó (Veri, 2004, p.21). Friedrich August Wolf argumenta que la épica homérica es una colección de poemas compuestos oralmente por distintos aedos a lo largo de los...

...to animate animals, but humans? To solve the problem, they filmed live actors doing exactly what the characters would do. This would work, but there was still a problem with the size of objects and losing things in the foreground when the camera zoomed. The solution ... a multiplane camera. In this camera, instead of many layers of artwork, there would be two, the foreground and the background. This made zooming in and out easier. In the 1940's there were four classical Disney feature animated movies to come out: Pinocchio, Dumbo, Fantasia, and, Bambi. Little did Walt Disney know that the five movies that he made would be the base for many more Disney movies. In the movie Pinocchio for example, a toy maker creates a puppet and when he makes a wish upon a star.....the puppet turns into a real boy. Dumbo was the next movie to come about from Disney. Dumbo is a movie that teaches, you can do anything if you put your mind to it. Now Fantasia on the other hand is a totally different kind of movie. It's a cartoon musical. Bambi was the next movie to come out. To some it might be called a...
