well, of course disney was no nazi any more than he was a fascist, communist, klan leader, or future frozen head. his 'nazi affliations' probably weren't even cusiosities as much as attempting to gain distributorship for his films in the german market. during the war, disney of course did propaganda films against the nazis. but, while there is nothing more than circumstantial 'evidence' of his mind at any given time, disney wasn't even a very political person. that said, you *could* argue he wasn't overly keen on jews, though you might argue that during the day in age he was in, the jokes he put out about jews were just that, jokes. jokes in bad taste by today's standards (and even by those bygone standards jewish groups weren't happy about it, precipitating a few changes in some of the cartoons), but, again, nothing that i'm aware of that suggested some kind of loathing for them. if anything, he loathed communists and unions. everything else was likely him going about doing business up until he had cause to think differently. he was, as i recall, conservative and was asked to name names.
all this has nothing to do with the design of the shirt, as if people want to believe he was a nazi then that's what they're going to believe, lol. and i do like seeing this kind of design, or more accurately this spirit of design, because it prompts debate. some of this kind of stuff just tries to be shocking for the sake of shocking someone, but the far better designs have a basis for existing. that said, i think it behooves the wearer to be able to defend the statement once forcing other people to behold it.
hm, maybe someday i'll put walt's frozen head for sale on ebay with a link to my site (if i had a site to link to, lol).
