If you watched a recent SBS documentary on Walt Disney. Part 1 had Walt Disney borrowing large sums of money from Bank Of America. The documentary stated Walt Disney had been paying himself a weekly salary of (if remembered correctly) $2000 a week.
Because making 1937, Snow White and the Seven Dwarf; 1940, Pinokio; 1940, Fantasia, many animation skilled staff numbers and obsessive with real life like characters creativity. Financially, Walt Disney animated productions failed to make decent profits.

My opinion is, by using European old fairy tale stories, Walt Disney didn't do anything anyone else couldn't have done, while maintaining decent profits.

Any opportunity to say Walt Disney was merely a pleasant to watch, nice to hear smooth sounding, promotional name, front man, subsidised by non-profit making concern' establishment, providing low skilled employment for west coast Californian workers. The Walt Disney story provides that confirming opportunity.

Authoritarian ruling class capitalists are really communists... faking capitalism to accuse for working class periodic lost savings investments.

Long after Walt Disney died, the name Disney is still used in media productions.

Walt Disney part 2:
After a period of 1940 organised union disputes, Dumbo was released in 1941 and Bambi is released in August 1942.

Walt Disney Part 2 showed scenes of Bambi animated movie.
Bambi's mother senses danger, telling Bambi “Bambi, quick the thicket” Bambi runs away to hides, mother saying “faster, faster Bambi, don't look back, keep running”, leaving his mother behind. A gun shot in heard, Bambi's mother is eventually presumed shot dead by a hunter in a background of snow. Bambi having hid, can't see his mother, calls for his missing mother while the animated scene begins to lightly snow. As Bambi continues to call and search for his mother the snowing becomes more intense, almost to the point of making it difficult to see Bambi. Narrator saying, “A generation was and still is traumatised by that moment in Bambi”. The narrator points to the snow in the mother dying scene as the snow in the falling snow scene as though the snow meant something. Narrator says, “fearless film making, absolute fearlessness”.
Narrator saying, “Bambi did not make back it's costs in it's initial run”. Walt Disney could tell his investors as he could tell himself the war was to blamed.

As real life looking animation was not profitable, next movie “Song of the South” mixing cheaper live action actors with background animation. The movie was an after American Civil War set in the deep South. The move had mixed news print criticism on racial grounds.

A new start up competitor animation company, “United Productions of America”. UPA didn't want to use “so realistic Walt Disney animation”. One example animation shown was of a knight in knight's armour holding lance on horseback and a dragon breathing fire a the knight. UPA animation was described as using cheap to produce, Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dali style modern art.

My point is that some ruling class establishment, needing to keep populations interested in pointless distractions, establishment not knowing how to use modern media mediums, are using “proven to work” old symbols or power: animals; dragons; kings and knights; old European fairy tales.

As modern media uses the same rolled over headlined length short stories, poor attention span viewing public easily understand those same rolled over stories. People listening to new stories don't realise stories are so similar to old stories: names have been changed; locations are different; different headlined titles. People feel intelligent for easily understanding.
For populations to least likely to realise this same stories rolled over trick, keeping people distracted from developing self-concerning wisdom: art; animation; actors and actresses visual images are changed, be it cave man to year 10,000 space adventures... Stories maintain the same limited meaningless, some resembling bible story ideas.

Disneyland opened in California in July 17 1955. My assumption is that television movie story backgrounds inspired people to visit Disneyland for the experience of seeing produced in black and white film to be seen in colourful 3D. Promoted by the nice sounding, famous person, Walt Disney.

Walt Disney born, December 5, 1901, was a not seen on television chain smoker, died on December 15, 1966.

Innovation to me is about coming out with new ideas. Spending time considering whether new ideas are innovative.

My electronic dictionary: innovated; innovating; innovates: introduce (change, new things).

I constantly blame education for many human behavioural problems. School education controls: what children learn; how children learn; how much mental stress children undergo while attempting learning; how many hours in each day is spent inside classrooms; how long each curriculum subject is learned before changing to another curriculum subject.
What society gets, are many barely capable: truck drivers; bus drivers; taxi drivers; concrete workers; brick layers; poor language skills, skilled teenagers. More successful HSC students move onto attend several more years of university studying to secure degrees that for many graduates, what was studied, will have very little innovative results.
School education destroys new ideas thinking innovation. Universities put back into human memories universities prescribed learning subject ideas of innovation.

Exampling Walt Disney for his believed innovation. I argue Walt Disney seen on my previously mentioned documentaries, Walt Disney wasn't innovative, rather Walt Disney was more expressing his spare time child like emotional driven desires.

I suggest, what was seen on motion picture screens were similar to bible murder stories.
Pinokio was a possessed doll, having no soul. Electronic dictionary, Possessed: (of evil spirit etc.).
Humorous ruling classes using old imposed religious superstition. There exits an old superstition myth to innovative thought to understand a message, adding to ideas that a war is coming, that there are only a “finite number of souls” to go around. For Pinokio to obtain a soul, someone had to die.
I vaguely remember in 1999, 10PM Radio National Philip Adams mentioning “limited number of souls”. Google, “finite number of souls”.

Released August 1942 Bambi, being produced 10 months into US involvement in the world war, Bambi was about a young talking animal (human child) losing a parent (killed by a bullet), how that animal (child) moves on with their life, growing into an adult...
Not having seen the complete Bambi production, I can merely innovate an idea.

Though the Walt Disney documentaries narrator said, “what is known in the industry as the big five animated productions, all Walt Disney animated productions are different”. My innovative conclusion: at least three productions have similar ideas in, staying alive survival stories. Pinokio wants to be a boy, wants to be alive.
Fantasia is a classical musical. Classical music often has explained war and death themes.
I have never seen Dumbo.

Could be that why “the big five animated productions” to my knowledge, have never been seen on television since the 1950s is that they really are terrible to watch, poor innovation, too much death themed stories. The stories were developed to allow populations to subconsciously except the coming involvement in the world war.

Add Hollywood movies: Gone with the Wind; The Wizard of Oz; The Grapes of Wrath, and other movies I am not aware of. “ill wind is coming” to my knowledge means a war and or death is coming.
The Wolf and the Three Little Pigs. Wolf, metaphor of war, blows the three (number 3 for death) pigs houses down. Each generation's house gets stronger justification. Disney (assumed 1950s) cartoon production in a Jass singing nightclub theme.
I was told dragons are symbols of war. By creating the story “George and the dragon”, the name George is associated with war. Full name “George” in that mentioned numerology is 333. Both second and last letters in George are “e” “ge” is 7 + 5 = 3, all George letters are 7 + 5 + 6 + 9 + 7 + 5 = 39, split 39, 9 + 3 = 12, split 12, 1 + 2 = 3, all three numbers = 333. 3 numbers of 3.

Disney stories are much the same as old testament bible, first five books of Moses, all the stories are different, all stories are about death.
Most innovation coming out of death stories are death itself and or what to do to stay alive.

School education rolls-over limited curriculum learning.
School students don't need to remember anything innovating as in to understand complex ideas. Shakespeare is about: love; death by murder; greed; revenge; remembering names. Twisted old English language sentences are adding to mental stress, to understand meaningful content, deliberate sabotage. Many school students may never read Shakespeare, yet pointless readings that confuse/punish incentives can obtain the same purpose.
Reading and or watching Shakespeare plays punishes many subconscious innovations to understand other forms of new information. Fear of anything that feels Shakespearean plays, etc. adds to killing innovation. Leaving watching simple sports, practising easy judgemental self-esteem motivating narcissism behaviours to more desirable. Motivating... not innovating.

Meaningless history, names; dates; shifting from person to person, expressed verbally by teachers in classrooms, forces mentally stressed students to focus, taking notes for future tests. The only innovation involved in many histories, were most probably related to wars.
There exists no incentive to remember any school learned information until short periods before examinations.

Having all learning incentive innovation punished by years of increasing mental stress, that all students try their best to repress mental stress. Information that caused mental stress, having been remember with mental stress, information will be difficult to remember in future examinations.
By reading classroom taken notes prior to examinations, brings back mental stress associated memories of taking notes in classroom.

When examinations are held, performed during limited times (example being one hour). Examination questions having A to F answer selections. Five answers are incorrect, one answer is correct. As A to F answers are read, all six answers for each examination question, brains will be scanned for prompting comparing correct memories. As each answer to each question hurrying mental stress is felt until each answer finds a memory prompted to be correct. Anxiety to find correct answers under time pressures. Each question's five wrong answers are felt and judged to be incorrect. Remembering memories that have note taking mental stress; chalkboard copying hurrying mental stress; after school exhausted brains mental stress home work reading; desires to medicate traumatised brains. Innovative thought is being traumatised.
