Event Details

October 16 marks the 100-year anniversary of the Walt Disney Company. In the wake of the early Mickey Mouse shorts and the first full-length animated feature, Snow White (1937), the studio entered a period of high-art experimentation, featuring partnerships with such cultural icons as Leopold Stokowski and Salvador Dali. Professor McHugh will discuss highlights of these 1940s productions including Pinocchio (1940), Fantasia (1940), Bambi (1942), and the short Destino (begun 1945).

Presenter, Shannon McHugh, Professor of French and Italian at the University of Massachusetts, and a former Disney tour guide
