35、ra”.Today,its certainly difficult to think of any other singlething that represents modern America as powerfully as the company that createdMickey Mouse.Globally,brands like Coca-Cola and McDonalds may be morewidely-known,but neither encapsulates 20th-century America in quite the sameway as Disney.T
36、he reasons for Disneys success are varied and numerous,but ultimately thecredit belongs to one person the man who created the cartoon and built thecompany from nothing,Walt Disney.Ironically,he could not draw particularlywell.But he was a genius in plenty of other respects.In business,his greatestsk

42、agreed to work for the FBI as a mole,identifying and spying on colleagues whomhe suspected were subversives.But,apart from his affiliations with the FBI,Disney was more or less thegenuine article.A new book,The Magic Kingdom;Walt Disney and the American Wayof Life,by Steven Watts,confirms that he wa
43、s very definitely on the side ofordinary Americans in the 30s and 40s he voted for Franklin Roosevelt,believing he was a champion of the workers.Also,Disney was not an apologistfor the FBI,as some have suggested.In fact,he was always suspicious of large,bureaucratic organizations,as is evidenced in
44、films like That Darned Cat,inwhich he portrayed FBI agents as bungling incompetents.By the time he died in 1966,Walt Disney was an icon like Thomas Edison andthe Wright Brothers.To business people and filmmakers,he was a role model;tothe public at large,he was“Uncle Walt 一 the man who had entertaine
