单选题 Today, it"s certainly difficult to think of any other single thing that represents modern America as powerfully as the company Disney that created Mickey Mouse.
The reasons for Disney"s success are varied and numerous, but ultimately the credit belongs to one person, Walt Disney. He was a genius in plenty of other respects. But what really distinguished Disney was his ability to identify with his audiences. Disney always made sure his films championed the "little guy", and made him feel proud to be American. This he achieved by creating characters that reflected the hopes and fears of ordinary people.
Disney"s other great virtue was the fact that his company had a human face. His Hollywood studio operated just like a democracy, where everyone was on first name terms and had a say in how things should be run. He was also regarded as a great patriot because not only did his cartoons celebrate America, but, during World War Ⅱ, studios made training films for American soldiers.
The reality, of course, was less ideal. As the public would later learn, Disney"s patriotism had an unpleasant side. After a strike by cartoonists in 1941, he agreed to work for the FBI as a spy, identifying and spying on colleagues whom he suspected were subversives.
But, apart from his affiliations with the FBI, Disney was more or less the genuine article . A book, The Magic Kingdom: Walt Disney and the American Way of Life , by Steven Watts, confirms that he was very definitely on the side of ordinary Americans—in the 1930s and 1940s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt, believing he was a champion of the workers. Also, Disney was not an apologist for the FBI, as some have suggested. In fact, he was always suspicious of large, bureaucratic organizations, as is evidenced in films like That Darn Cat, in which he portrayed FBI agents as incompetents.
By the time he died in 1966, Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison and the Wright Brothers. To business people and filmmakers, he was a role model; to the public at large, he was "Uncle Walt"—the man who had entertained them all their lives, the man who represented them all their lives, the man who represented all that was good about America.
