Such powers have long been celebrated and immortalized by the company Walt left behind that has since grown into a media empire. The creative difficulties that arose in the first two decades that Disney was Walt-less are then a testament to the man's tremendous powers as hands-on troop-rallier and visionary in touch with the public's tastes. And, despite being the person labeled most responsible for feature-length cartoons, Walt's influences were more managerial than artistic.
The animators who survived Walt were the same ones behind those masterpieces and earlier ones. Yet, the final decade of his life still brought animated films that remain more beloved today than most, including Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, and The Jungle Book.
After all, from the mid-1950s on, Walt became preoccupied with his theme parks,įrom the ever-changing one he opened (Anaheim's Disneyland) to the one he conceived and developed (Florida's Walt Disney World). Looking back at the company's cartoon canon, it is rather remarkable to think that the loss of a single man could drain a legacy of magic from output collaborated on by hundreds of individuals. Songs: "Whistle-Stop", "Oo-de-lally", "Love", "The Phony King of England", "Not in Nottingham"Īs the first Disney animated feature to enter production after Walt Disney's 1966 death, Robin Hood illustrates perhaps better than any other film where the Disney studio faltered in the wake of its namesake's passing.
