The Idea of Nature in Disney Animation

[robinlandseadel at comcast.net]

I'm kinda partial to rubbery, loose-limbed Bob Clampett.

My vision of the Temperance card [in the Thoth deck Atu 14 is called "Art", which is easier to read but not as pretty as the Rider-Waite version] is from a Daffy Duck feature. He's doing vaudeville, and nothing seems to click. For his finale he drinks some gasoline, downs a couple of sticks of tnt and lights himself, resulting in a massive explosion and feathers everywhere. Out of the ruble, a Daffy angel emerges and floats up saying "the only problem with this trick is you can only do it once." That moment of Dafft's Angel is my vision of the Temperance card:
