Disney: The Original Industry Influencer?
The date was 1940, Disney wanted to embark on something different. Something more untraditional. From out of his comfort zone let's put it in terms. Fantasia as his most ambitious of creations also was Disney's first flop from out of the theater box. You can't blame him for trying. The man had a dream to build his Disney empire from the ground up. Speaking of which there was a comment I made "It amazes me to think of how these entrepreneurs lived their life from a day-to-day cycle while they took risks for success. I try to put myself in their shoes and I can't. I can't understand why Steve Jobs sacrificed furniture, then to sleep on the hard wooden floor. I suppose cavemen didn't have furniture, it was more like bedrock."...If I can understand the opposite side correctly, by being around your comfort zone, we then would get used to that unmotivated, and laziness, and uninspiring traits in our day-to-day life cycle. Ultimately wouldn't allow for progression, growth, and success, which Walt Disney was a part of the legacy of many successful individuals. He spent money way beyond his means. He hired an orchestra featuring the most famous music conductor at the time. This gentleman's name was Leopold Stokowski and he scored Fantasia. Imagine that must have been expensive, especially with the economy in the 40s. A cool thing is instead of cassette tapes or C-Ds cause they weren't invented yet, "Fantasia was first released as a theatrical roadshow that was held in 13 cities across the U.S. between 1940 and 1941; the first began at the Broadway Theatre in New York City on November 13, 1940." So the orchestra would tour the world essentially, but before Disney could even get there, Fantasia had to hurtle over challenges.
