(for reference: as you wander down mainstreet usa in the magic kingdom park of walt disney world, you might stop and take a peek in the mainstreet theatre. here, steamboat willie shows how it all began depicting the first appearance of mickey mouse. at this point people usually stop for a bit, perhaps to rest from the hot florida summer, laugh at mickey's antics as he uses various animals as musical instruments (long before beavis and butthead were throwing cats in drying machines), and walk away amused and entertained.
 
that was walt disney's primary goal. today, people might consider the first cartoon featuring mickey as art, along with a host of other creative works produced by people who work at disney. notable among them are carl barks and don rosa, whose works sell in the thousands. however, walt disney himself never thought that what he, and his employees, did was art: "i don't pretend to know anything about art. i make pictures for entertainment, and then the professors tell me what they mean." )
