RP, on "FANtasia."

Like most people who have grown up with Disney, I have mix emotions with regard to the values inherent in Disney productions. Given that they are visually spectacular and wondrous, as a child I was certainly enthralled but as an adult, and certainly as a student of this course, I am much more analytical and critical of the productions. The luster has dimmed in its sheen. In this video I imagine Walt as Mickey Mouse, a young apprentice who steals the magic to impact and shape the world by creating universes of delightful fun, a magic kingdom if you will. I feel now that ownership and that act of larceny is as logically inconsistent as the title 2+2=5 suggests. It is clear that Disney has succeeded in having multiple generations view the world through the rose tinted glasses of the Disney worldview. Are we victims? Or, as the song suggests have we simply not paid enough attention and therefor been complicit in his distortion.

RADIOHEAD LYRICS "2 + 2 = 5"
Are you such a dreamer
To put the world to rights
I'll stay home forever
Where two and two always makes a five
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag and hide
January has April showers
And two and two always makes a five
It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream and you can shout
It is too late now
Because you're not there
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
yeah I feel it, I needed attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Yeah I need it, I needed attention
I needed attention
I needed attention
I needed attention
Yeah I love it, the attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Payin' attention
Soon oh
I try to sing along
But the music's all wrong
Cos I'm not v Cos I'm not
I'll swallow up flies?
Back and hide
But I'm not
Oh hail to the thief
Oh hail to the thief
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
But I'm not
Don't question my authority or put me in the box
Cos I'm not
Cos I'm not
Oh go up to the king, and the sky is falling in
But it's not
But it's not
Maybe not
Maybe not
