Originally Posted By ecdc >>Uhhhhhh … The WHAT?<< As one of the few defending Streep in this thread, I'll add an extra what and ask WHAT THE WHAT?!? That's an awfully tortured interpretation of the Jungle Book. I mean, I guess Disney could've had him finding a wolf attractive...not at all problematic. Also, the film was released in 1967, four years after the March on Washington, and three years after landmark civil rights legislation. I know it takes a long time to produce an animated film, but by the time it was released, the issue of segregation had been settled in most places and in most minds that weren't part of the American south. I find it extremely hard to believe that Walt would be fussed enough to include a pro-segregation message in his film.

Originally Posted By leemac <<I find her statements to be rather smug, considering she would be a complete nobody without Walt's hard work and creativity.>> Most of Roy's side of the family didn't hold Walt in the highest esteem. They feel that Roy never got the credit he deserved. Roy P. will happily talk for hours on the subject. And your comment just goes to reinforce that opinion.

You're talking about such interesting stuff here on LP, while at my work everything is going bananas. So much is likely to get by me due to divided attention.
