I also in some way love the VTAP, it´s astonishing in it´s propaganda effort - but I´m afraid that all that now scream in joy that it will be included on the Treasure set this December, will be disappointed - if they not have seen it already of course.
Because it´s not at all like a "normal" Disney film.
In fact - someone that doesn´t know about it, hardly can say it´s Disney.
Some folks call it very boring - I have done it myself sometimes - but that´s only in comparision to the other Disney features.
When I read post here at the message board about that some of you doesn´t like Three Caballeros, Saludos Amigos, Make Mine Music and so on - because they are so different and strange in comparison to the other animated features - I´m almost certain that you will find this piece of Disney history boring.
It´s mostly talk by Mr. Seversky, interupted by some animated segments here and there.
But as I said before - the propaganda works - especially in the animated sequences.
Over to the book - Victory through air power, jabroni
, I can´t remember reading a more boring book!
That the studio in the end could do a film of it, is the most interesting thing in all this. Walt´s belief in íts theme was so strong, so they succeeded in that task.
Disney spent a lot of money on it and he never got all that sum back, because the film was not a success and have never been re-released to the cinema after the WW II - such segments as the history of fligh have been cut out and released and shown in other occasions, but the film in whole has scarcly been viewed by many.
I ran across a video copy of the film last year and finally had a chance to see and own it, but it took me at least five viewings to appreciate the whole thing. It´s a hard film to digest, but incredible in that it´s came out of the Disney studio, that usually gave the audience more easy minded entertainments.
Please forgive me my bad english grammar - I´m not born into english as many of you here. I hope you understand my writing though!
on your English...it's not at all an easy language to learn.
