IBM, Disney, Bush: Nazis?

[Dave Monroe]

I don't think I quite claimed that Walt Disney was a
Nazi, and I suppose I ought to find some documentation
concerning allegations that WD was a Nazi sympathizer
(and I should also have noted that Winston Churchill
himself had expressed some admiration for Hitler not
all too long before the war).  But Disney's use of
Nazi  rocket scientists is noteworthy, no?

Anyway, I would have thought that the Infonet here
would have abounded with such information, but perhaps
the Disney Legal Strike Force blitzkrieged 'em all out
of business?  But here's a few items of interest,
albeit of variable respectiblity ...

Did consult ...

Cohen, Karl F.  Forbidden Animation: Censored
   Cartoons and Blacklisted Animators in
   America.  Jefferson, N.C.: McFarland, 1997.

.. which, among other things, pointed out that
Disney's classic "Little Red Riding Hood" short
initially featured a steretypically hook-nosed,
Yiddish-accented Big Bad Wolf, who was leter altered
after the war.  Interestingly, the most recent video
release of this short has restored the nose but noit
the accent.  And I'm sure we all remember Roger
Meyers, Sr.'s unfortunate animated short, "Nazi
Supermen are Our Superiors" ...
