- Abstract
Like other American homes, the home of Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck went to war From the Disney Studios poured training films for the Armed Forces and animated cartoons prodding and instructing the home front. Out of these strikingly successful efforts has come a new impetus for the use of animated cartoons as an educational device in peacetime. In this article Walt Disney enthusiastically supports Mickey's professional possibilities. But it also describes the obstacles in the way of the educational film and his analysis will serve as a suggestive guide to all those concerned with putting the film to work as a teacher. The Disney Studios have watched and pondered the factors outlined here, with sympathetic interest and with the desire to participate in developments. The problems are natural and inevitable to the talents and techniques which raised the animated picture from a peep-show curiosity to the stature of a major art-form. It is natural also that the educational world should be anxious to make use of a powerful and versatile facility.
