...other non-Western theater techniques--to adapt its most popular animated film for the stage. It turns out to have been a masterstroke. Taymor has brought the same kind of let's-start-from-scratch inspiration that Walt and his fellow animators must have had when they created Mickey and Snow White and virtually invented the art of movie animation...
...spent the afternoon wandering around with my OCS plastic bag--picking up all the pens, coffee cups, mugs, slinkies, highlighters, squishie balls and other fun things the companies were passing out. Disney's Mickey Mouse pencils definitely ranked in the top five free recruiting gifts, but the prize went to CapitalOne, some sort of financial outfit.

Examples of a close association between sports and city abound--Broadway Joe Namath uses his big-city playboy image to this day; Mickey Mantle, the Oklahoma kid who made it big on America's biggest stage came straight out of a Horatio Alger novel; Hideki Irabu's introduction to New York was Derek Jeter giving him a tour of the Chinatown club scene; and let us not forget the New York Knicks, the lovable bullies of the NBA--the civic myth of New York lives a charmed life within its sports scene...
