26、g that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse. Globally, brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be more widely-known, but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the same way as Disney.The reasons for Disney's success are varied and numerous,

27、but ultimately the credit belongs to one person the manwho created the cartoon and built the company from nothing, Walt Disney. Ironically, he could not draw particularly well. But he was a genius in plenty of other respects. In business, his greatest skills were his insight and his managementabilit

28、y. After setting himself up in Hollywood, he single-handedly pioneered the concepts of branding and merchandising something his company still does brilliantly today.But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the“

29、littleguy ” , and madehim feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people. Somecelebrated American achievements Disney's very first cartoon Plane Crazy, featuring a silentMickey Mouse, was inspired by Charles Lindbergh'

30、s flight across the Atlantic.Others, like the There Little Pigs and Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, showedhow, through hard work and helping one's fellow man, or Americans could survivesocial and economic crises like the Great Depression.Disney's other great virtue was the fact that his co

He was also regarded as a great patriot becausenot only did his cartoons celebrate America, but,

32、during World War II, studiosmade training films for American soldiers.The reality, of course, was less idyllic. As the public would later learn, Disney's patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in1941, he became convinced that Hollywood had been infiltrated by Communists

33、. Heagreed to work for the FBI as a mole, identifying and spying on colleagues whomhe suspected were subversives.But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less thegenuine article.

34、 that he was very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large,bureaucratic organizations, a

35、s is evidenced in films like That Darned Cat, inwhich he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like ThomasEdison andthe Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; tothe public at large, he was “ Uncle Walt ” t
