As the president of Disney Animated Studio, Walt* did not have the oversight of the project at all stages of its development. As the host himself started, he knew everything about the technique of his time and tried tirelessly to improve them to ensure the best possible films. But sometimes he could not and knew how to admit it.
Walt’s latest film is frustrated
Do you know the movie King Midasia? This is a part of the collection called The Silly Symphonies, these short films of Disney are mainly based on music, and most of which have won Walt Disney Oscar for the best animated short film. In addition to the fact that King Midas (the gold touch in the original version) did not have a studio creator, and yet he is a director!
In the work Animated Man: Walt Disney Life Discovered SlashfilmWe can find a letter in Walt in which he writes: “I know the film is not good, but it is impossible to make radical changes right now.”.
In 1935, when he brought the final touch to King Midas, Walt had no time to devote an animation, as his animated studio was not profitable and lost much money for the preparation of animators, to work on other short films and the most mysterious project.
- To fulfill your opinion, the film is available for Disney+
In addition, Walt travels a lot, especially in Europe, to acquire the rights of works that are then intended to adapt to the cinema. His short film King Midas, the latter he performs himself, will be disappointed as he is in a hurry. He will not be honored to maintain Oscars, replace rabbits and turtle Wilfred Jackson, another Disney film that will win a precious statue in 1935.
We missed Midasa
Walt concludes, still in this letter: “It is a pity that we missed Midas, because I thought it would probably be a very good cartoon. The best thing we can do at this point is to enjoy the realization of our future drawings with our mistakes. ”
In other words, do not pay attention to this unsuccessfully and move forward, and this will be this famous best secret project that will be released two years later, snowflake and seven dwarfs, which are included in history as the first animated trait of all time.
* For the reasons for understanding, this is the issue of “Walt” when we talk about the personality of Walt Disney and Disney when it comes to the firm as a whole.
