During WWII the Disney Studios were enlisted to the war effort and produced animated films that stared the all-American hero Mickey Mouse. In one, a cell of which I saw proudly displayed at the Disney archive in Burbank CA, Donald Duck was portrayed wearing a Nazi uniform. When I queried the archivist about this solo piece hanging alone in one room, he said it was a nightmare that Mickey had, where Donald, every the fall guy, was a Nazi. When one goes to Disneyland, one's access / experience to "behind the scene" is strictly managed (forbidden); the workers are called "cast members". You become subsumed by the party line in the Happiest Kingdon on Earth. <br></body><pre>
