The day the People's Republic of China has a film factory capable of captivating all the children and cherubs of the world and making them believe that a hungry bear will never devour them given their intrinsic goodness, that day Beijing will be able to proclaim itself the first world power (this GDP is not enough).

The day the People's Republic of China has a film factory capable of captivating all the children and cherubs of the world and making them believe that a hungry bear will never devour them given their intrinsic goodness, that day Beijing will be able to proclaim itself the first world power (this GDP is not enough).

The Walt Disney company turned 100 years old yesterday, although it wasn't until 1937 that it gave the first big film hit, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, a plot with substance and its interpretations, perverse, incorrect and unhealthy. But while the boys and girls who enjoyed Snow White have not made polyamory their lifestyle, the ravages of Disney's animalistic adventures have created one of the canine ideologies of the 21st century: animalism.

I do not conceive of the equating of animals to the rank of people - soon enshrined in many constitutions - without a corpus as powerful as Walt Disney's animated films, where it is difficult to find a bad beast and 99% of animals are sociable, expressive and affectionate If I were a woman, it would be clear in the obligation to choose between an Iberian husband or the orangutans of The Jungle Book...

I don't know if Walt Disney was as friendly to animals as he seems - something tells me that our Rodríguez de la Fuente gave him a thousand laps -. Did he imagine that his films would be the pillar of an urban ideology, good and transversal, ubiquitous in the cities of the first world, whose streets are already beginning to adapt to walks and the needs of dogs?

Walt Disney helped the United States win the cold war and the children of the world, to cry and cry early - a little guitar smash was already with the premature orphans or Dumbo's mother bound in chains - but, over time , I am one of those who would review Walt Disney's contribution to Judeo-Christian civilization. She doesn't seem so positive or innocent to me anymore. (And I still haven't read Ferdinando, the story of a Lydian bull with calf horns, the character of a dairy cow and meek of solemnity).
