Review of Disney DeathUnusual analysis of death from Disney movies' perspective. Surprisingly light for such a “dark” topic the story points out (quite accurately) how sterilized death has become in an American society. It appears that people don’t die anymore… (well if they do it is in shoot outs in evening news, hospitals or on ER). |

Review of Disney DeathLittle boy Walt Disney killed an owl? Wow--this is wild stuff, the perfect use of radio, thinking about something we all have in common but from an entirely new angle. it really lets you understand the icky sentimental nature of everything Disney, not to mention its undeniable appeal. it also asks questions about death in our culture that I haven't quite heard asked before. Only one question here--isn't it "hydrophobia," not "hydrophobie"? |

Really nice piece
I have to agree with the previous reviewers.... very interesting take on Disney and death.
"Hydrophobie" stood out to me, too. Is that the way they say it in the movie?
