And Disney steps in as this young guy and he's like, "Okay, well, I see what you're doing, I'll try this out and then I'll figure out my own voice in my other influences around me to transform it."

迪士尼以这个年轻人的身份介入,他说,“好吧,好吧,我明白你在做什么,我会尝试一下,然后我会在周围的其他影响中找出自己的声音来改变它。”

Narrator: : The key to challenging the supremacy of Felix the Cat, Walt believed, was creating his own compelling and likeable character.

旁白:沃尔特认为,挑战菲利克斯猫至高无上地位的关键是创造自己引人注目且讨人喜欢的角色。

Disney's distributor suggested he try a rabbit -- "too many cats on the market." Iwerks took charge of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit's look, while Disney wrote the storylines and the gags.

迪士尼的经销商建议他尝试一只兔子——“市场上的猫太多了。”伊沃克斯负责幸运兔奥斯瓦尔德的造型,而迪士尼负责故事情节和笑点。

The bosses at Universal Pictures were so taken with the first sketches of Oswald they offered a contract for 26 episodes.

环球影业的老板们对奥斯瓦尔德的第一批草图非常着迷,他们提供了一份 26 集的合同。

Walt Disney Studios seemed to be riding high, but by the time the team put the finishing touches on the first order of Oswald shorts, the animators were increasingly frustrated with the boss.

华特迪士尼工作室似乎风光无限,但当团队完成奥斯瓦尔德短片的第一批订单时,动画师们对老板越来越感到沮丧。

但迪士尼只花了几天时间就意识到伊沃克斯是对的——明茨已经挖走了除乌布之外的几乎所有迪士尼艺术家,发行商告诉沃尔特,他将在没有他的情况下继续制作奥斯瓦尔德卡通片。

Sarah Nilsen, Film Historian: : Things are unfolding that most people would understand and Disney comes into it shockingly naive.

电影史学家莎拉·尼尔森 (Sarah Nilsen):事情的发展是大多数人都能理解的,而迪士尼的介入却令人震惊地天真。

It was pretty clear that people were unhappy around him, that he was pretty oblivious to that.

他继《白雪公主》之后的两个作品都是关于成长的故事:第一个是《小鹿斑比》,改编自一本关于小鹿变成雄鹿的小说;第二个是《小鹿斑比》,改编自一部关于小鹿变成雄鹿的小说;第二部是《小鹿斑比》,改编自一本关于小鹿变成雄鹿的小说;第二部是《小鹿斑比》,改编自一部关于小鹿变成雄鹿的小说;第二部是《小鹿斑比》。然后是《匹诺曹》,这是一个流行于 19 世纪末的意大利民间故事,讲述了一个木偶想要成为一个真正的男孩的故事。

Disney hit snags right away on Bambi , and began to worry the story was too complicated and needed more time in development.

We're not making cartoons." Walt Disney had made this separation between Mickey Mouse and some of the early Silly Symphonies -- they're cartoons.

Snow White had proved that his animated films could tackle the sweep of the human condition, with all the light and shadow of real life.

白雪公主已经证明,他的动画电影可以用现实生活中的所有光影来应对人类的生存状况。

Now, he went deep inside himself for inspiration and emerged with a magical story elixir that became the Disney trademark -- outsiders struggling for acceptance, coming-of-age heroes bucking authority, temptation, loss, redemption, and survival.

现在,他深入自己的内心寻找灵感,并创造出一种神奇的故事灵丹妙药,成为迪士尼的商标——局外人努力争取接受,成年英雄反抗权威、诱惑、失落、救赎和生存。

Don Hahn, Animator: : So now Walt's wading through the story throwing things out left and right and saying, "What's the essence of it?

他说,你知道,“我们正在取得标题,我们正在取得木偶的东西,我们将把它纳入我们的故事中。”

Narrator: : Difficult as they were and engaging as they were, Pinocchio and Bambi did not capture Walt's undivided attention.

旁白::尽管匹诺曹和斑比很困难,也很吸引人,但他们并没有引起沃尔特的全神贯注。

There was an enticing new experiment going on right down the hall.

大厅里正在进行一项诱人的新实验。

The project had begun as a cartoon short based on a symphony titled "The Sorcerer's Apprentice," starring Mickey Mouse, with the backing of an orchestra conducted by the celebrated Leopold Stokowski.

该项目最初是一部基于交响乐《魔法师的学徒》的卡通短片,由米老鼠主演,并得到了著名的利奥波德·斯托科夫斯基指挥的管弦乐队的支持。

Disney was so taken with the first results that he decided to expand it into a feature-length film -- Fantasia .

迪士尼对第一批成果非常着迷,决定将其扩展为一部长篇电影——《幻想曲》。

He and Stokowski selected eight separate classical symphonies, and Walt and his team began thinking about imagery to match.

他和斯托科夫斯基选择了八部独立的古典交响曲,沃尔特和他的团队开始考虑与之匹配的图像。

The Disney Studio was crawling with musicians, dancers, even famous scientists like the astronomer Edwin Hubble.

迪士尼工作室挤满了音乐家、舞蹈家,甚至还有像天文学家埃德温·哈勃这样的著名科学家。

Don Hahn, Animator: : So here's Stravinsky, and George Balanchine comes by the studio, "Well, let's choreograph some dancing for us." So these experts are coming and going, and there's a ballet company in the next room dancing.

唐·哈恩,动画师::斯特拉文斯基和乔治·巴兰钦来到工作室,“好吧,让我们为我们编一些舞蹈。”所以这些专家来来去去,隔壁房间里有一个芭蕾舞团在跳舞。

And here's Hubble talking about theories of deep space, and where the cosmos came from.

哈勃在这里谈论深空理论以及宇宙的来源。

And there's a dinosaur expert.

还有一位恐龙专家。

And it is this cultural kind of petri dish of people together working and collaborating creating Fantasia .

正是这种文化的培养皿,人们共同努力、合作创造了《幻想曲》。

And he loves it because this is a huge fun sandbox.

他喜欢它,因为这是一个巨大有趣的沙盒。

Neal Gabler, Biographer: : Well, he's dealt with realism and realistic emotions, but now he's trying to get to emotion in a different way, circumventing realism.

传记作者尼尔·加布勒:嗯,他处理的是现实主义和现实情感,但现在他试图以不同的方式来表达情感,绕过现实主义。

This is absolutely alien to the Disney process, to try and see if you can reach emotion directly through abstraction.

这与迪士尼的流程完全不同,尝试看看是否可以通过抽象直接达到情感。

Ron Suskind, Writer: : He's saying, "I want to try what heroes of art do.

罗恩·苏斯金德(Ron Suskind),作家::他说,“我想尝试艺术英雄所做的事情。

You know, I want the great artists of the time to join in here.

The Disneys were in dire need of space to house their thousand-plus staff, and another addition at Hyperion was not going to cut it.

迪士尼公司迫切需要空间来容纳数千名员工,而海伯利安的另一处扩建也无法满足这一需求。

Without consulting with Roy, who was in Europe at the time, Walt selected a 51-acre building lot, empty but for a polo field, on the other side of the Hollywood Hills, in Burbank.

沃尔特在没有与当时身在欧洲的罗伊协商的情况下,在好莱坞山的另一边伯班克选择了一块 51 英亩的建筑场地,该场地空无一人,但用于建设马球场。

Then he went to work making his dream studio.

然后他开始制作他梦想的工作室。

Neal Gabler, Biographer: : It was designed for absolute efficiency, but also to engender this wonderful sense of community.

传记作者 Neal Gabler::它的设计是为了绝对的效率,同时也是为了产生这种美妙的社区意识。

In fact, there was one point where he said, "You know what'd be great, is if we build an apartment complex here on the studio lot, so no one ever has to leave." It's so that his employees could become part of this very insular community where they would all work together in this common mission to make these great animations.

事实上,有一次他说:“你知道,如果我们在工作室场地上建造一栋公寓大楼,那就太好了,这样就没有人需要离开了。”这样他的员工就可以成为这个非常孤立的社区的一部分,他们将在这个共同的使命中共同努力,制作这些伟大的动画。

And that's what this new studio was really all about.

这就是这个新工作室的真正意义所在。

It was really all about creating a perfect place to create perfect films.

I have a case of the D.D.'s -- disillusionment and discouragement." The next day Disney skipped town for a 10-week working tour of South America, and left the headaches to his brother and long-time business partner, Roy.

我有一个 D.D. 的案例——幻灭和沮丧。”第二天,迪士尼离开小镇去南美洲进行为期 10 周的工作旅行,把头疼的事情留给了他的兄弟和长期商业伙伴罗伊。

Steven Watts, Historian: : What Walt Disney was doing was getting away, period.

Neal Gabler, Biographer: : South America is a real relief for Walt Disney.

尼尔·加布勒(Neal Gabler),传记作者::南美洲对华特·迪士尼来说是真正的解脱。

Wherever his plane lands, people are there to greet him; dignitaries invite him to dinners.

无论他的飞机降落在哪里,人们都会在那里迎接他;达官贵人邀请他共进晚餐。

Everybody loves him.

每个人都爱他。

And I think the contrast between the affection with which he's greeted in South America and the kind of hostility with which he'd been greeted in Los Angeles isn't lost on him.

我认为他在南美洲受到的热情欢迎与他在洛杉矶受到的敌意之间的对比并没有消失。

Narrator: : Disney was still on the road in South America when his father, Elias Disney, died unexpectedly.

The workers had been granted almost everything they had asked for.

The Disney art department was back on track, but the studio would never again feel like family to Walt.

迪士尼艺术部门重回正轨,但工作室再也不会像沃尔特的家人一样。

Don Lusk, Animator: : The gal I married was a secretary in personnel.

Don Lusk,动画师::我娶的女孩是人事秘书。

She was called up to Walt's office to help on the files.

她被叫到沃尔特的办公室帮忙处理文件。

And she would go through and find people that were out on strike.

她会仔细寻找那些参加罢工的人。

And they were moved from here to this file.

他们被从这里移到了这个文件中。

Walt came in and said, "How's it going?" She just said, "What are we doing this for?" And he said, "Well, these are the people that are true to Disney.

沃尔特进来问道:“怎么样?”她只是说:“我们这样做是为了什么?”他说:“嗯,这些人都是忠实于迪士尼的人。

Narrator: : Just a few months after the bruising strike, World War II arrived at the Disney Studios, much of which was commandeered as a base for anti-aircraft troops.

旁白: 惨痛的罢工发生几个月后,第二次世界大战就降临到了迪士尼影城,其中大部分被征用为防空部队的基地。

Walt kept up a happy front, especially for his two daughters, but things were not great on the Disney lot.

沃尔特一直保持着快乐的外表,尤其是对他的两个女儿,但迪士尼乐园的情况并不好。

Funding for feature film production had dried up by the summer of 1942.

Bambi's Mother, Bambi (archival): : It seems long, but it won't last forever.

斑比的母亲,斑比(档案)::看似漫长,但不会永远持续下去。

New spring grass.

旁白::当《小鹿斑比》于 1942 年 8 月最终上映时,它成为该工作室历史上最雄心勃勃的长篇电影:一位艺术家对自然世界的美丽和危险的描绘。

尼尔·加布勒(Neal Gabler),传记作者::《小鹿斑比》对于迪士尼来说是一次胜利,因为它可能将现实动画延伸到了目前为止。

But by the time the film came out, it was almost as if Disney, in the course of a couple of years, had become passé.

但当这部电影上映时,迪士尼在几年的时间里几乎已经过时了。

Narrator: : Bambi did not make back its costs in its initial run.

旁白::斑比在最初的运行中并没有收回成本。

Disney could tell his investors -- as he could tell himself -- that the war was to blame for the deficit, but that failure -- coming so close on the heels of the strike -- made it impossible for him to deny the obvious.

迪士尼可以告诉他的投资者——正如他可以告诉自己的那样——战争是造成赤字的罪魁祸首,但这次失败——紧随罢工而来——使他无法否认显而易见的事实。

He had invested too much in animated features (money, energy, effort, his own heart) and what did he have to show for it?

他在动画上投入了太多(金钱、精力、努力、自己的心),而他又要拿出什么来呢?

A crippled company filled with people who had turned on him; a mountain of debt; scorchings from the political press, the art world, film critics.

一个瘫痪的公司里挤满了背叛他的人;债务如山;来自政治媒体、艺术界、影评人的严厉批评。

Tom Sito, Writer: : One of the things that was lost was the great period of Disney experimentation.

Neal Gabler, Biographer: : The paradise that Disney had at Hyperion and into the early days of the Burbank studio is gone.

It's never going to be the same.

它永远不会一样。

Johnny Mercer, Radio host (archival audio): : Hey Walt, how did you happen to choose the tales of Uncle Remus as the story for Song of the South ?

约翰尼·默瑟(Johnny Mercer),电台主持人(档案音频): :嘿沃尔特,你是怎么选择雷穆斯叔叔的故事作为《南方之歌》的故事的?

Walt Disney (archival audio): : Well, Johnny, I first heard the stories of Uncle Remus when I was a boy down in Missouri.

沃尔特·迪士尼(档案音频)::嗯,约翰尼,当我还是密苏里州的一个小男孩时,我第一次听到雷姆斯叔叔的故事。

And since then, they've been one of my favorites.

从那时起,它们就成为我的最爱之一。

Johnny Mercer, Radio host (archival audio): : Your favorites, and a million others'.

约翰尼·默瑟 (Johnny Mercer),电台主持人(存档音频)::您和上百万其他人的最爱。

Carmenita Higginbotham, Art Historian: : The Uncle Remus stories are a piece of American folklore, and that is the kind of story Walt is interested after World War II.

Carmenita Higginbotham,艺术史学家::雷姆斯叔叔的故事是美国民间传说,而这正是沃尔特在二战后感兴趣的故事。

It's a way for him to start to break away from the European fairytale as the foundation of his narratives.

这是他开始摆脱以欧洲童话为叙事基础的一种方式。

He sees it as being very personal and speaking to his own sense of boyhood.

他认为这是非常个人化的,表达了他自己的童年感觉。

Narrator: : Disney took a cost-conscious approach on Song of the South , mixing cheaper live-action sequences with animation -- and for good reason.

旁白:迪士尼在《南方之歌》中采取了注重成本的方法,将更便宜的真人场景与动画结合在一起——这是有充分理由的。

His bankers were no longer willing to risk their money on the Disney studio's full-length animated features, even after the war was over.

即使战争结束后,他的银行家也不再愿意拿钱去冒险购买迪士尼工作室的长篇动画长片。

Many of the first generation of Disney animators had left Burbank, and his once cutting-edge equipment was rusting like a junk-heap in a back lot.

许多第一代迪士尼动画师都离开了伯班克,他曾经最先进的设备像后院的垃圾堆一样生锈。

By Walt's reckoning, the studio had only one reliable and undiminished asset from its pre-war glory days: his own instincts about what story to choose, and how to tell it.

沃尔特认为,工作室在战前的辉煌岁月中只有一项可靠且未被削弱的资产:他自己对选择什么故事以及如何讲述故事的直觉。

Steven Watts, Historian: : It's the story of outsiders: a young white boy who's dreadfully unhappy, a young black boy who is his good friend, Uncle Remus, the wise old black storyteller, and, in the animated sections, Brer Rabbit himself.

史蒂文·沃茨,历史学家::这是一个局外人的故事:一个非常不快乐的年轻白人男孩,一个他的好朋友雷姆斯叔叔,聪明的老黑人讲故事者,以及动画部分中的兔子兄弟本人。

And in all of these things, what you get is a typical Disney populist story of the triumph of the underdog, outwitting your powerful opponents, maneuvering, doing what you had to do to triumph.

在所有这些事情中,你得到的是一个典型的迪士尼民粹主义故事,讲述弱者的胜利,智取强大的对手,采取策略,做你必须做的事情来取得胜利。

Narrator: : Disney had been thinking about the Joel Chandler Harris stories for years; he had optioned them during his 1939 spending spree following Snow White .

旁白::迪士尼多年来一直在思考乔尔·钱德勒·哈里斯的故事; 1939 年,他在追随《白雪公主》的大肆消费期间选择了它们。

The Uncle Remus stories were uncomplicated; the politics were not.

莱姆斯叔叔的故事并不复杂。政治则不然。

Harris had set the action on a plantation in the Deep South just after the Civil War, which meant Disney's adaptation would have to negotiate the questions of slavery and race in America -- a dicey proposition after World War II, when white supremacists in the South were fighting tooth and nail to maintain racial segregation.

哈里斯在内战刚结束时就将故事设定在南方腹地的一个种植园,这意味着迪士尼的改编作品必须讨论美国的奴隶制和种族问题——这是二战后的一个冒险提议,当时南方的白人至上主义者正在竭尽全力维持种族隔离。

Don Hahn, Animator: : The core issue is, is it okay to be an African American and have this kind of joyous sense of storytelling about you, knowing that you went through the most horrific chapter of American history?

动画师唐·哈恩 (Don Hahn):核心问题是,作为一名非裔美国人,知道自己经历了美国历史上最可怕的一章,并有这种讲述自己故事的欢乐感,这可以吗?

Civil rights was not in full bloom, but certainly the NAACP and men coming back from war were saying, "I fought for an America that was, that was equal.

民权尚未全面展开,但全国有色人种协进会和从战争中归来的人们肯定会说:“我为一个平等的美国而战。

And this is a part of our history that we have to deal with, a very profound social pain that we all share.

这是我们必须面对的历史的一部分,是我们共同经历的非常深刻的社会痛苦。

And we don't want to whitewash into something that is this jolly story."

我们不想粉饰这个欢乐的故事。”

Carmenita Higginbotham, Art Historian: : Walt Disney has never been, up until this point, really concerned about social issues.

卡梅尼塔·希金博特姆 (Carmenita Higginbotham),艺术史学家::到目前为止,沃尔特·迪士尼 (Walt Disney) 从未真正关心过社会问题。

And to present the black body in the South the way he wanted to through a folktale, which was going to rely very heavily on stereotype, he was going to need to vet that from some source.

为了以他想要的方式通过民间故事来呈现南方的黑人身体,这将在很大程度上依赖于刻板印象,他需要从某些来源进行审查。

Narrator: : Disney solicited notes from well-known African American intellectuals and activists, including the head of the NAACP.

旁白:迪士尼向著名的非裔美国知识分子和活动家征求意见,其中包括全国有色人种协进会的负责人。

One scholar told Disney "he could do wonders in transforming public opinion," but only if he avoided the most hurtful stereotypes, like scenes of former slaves belting out happy songs on Southern plantations.

一位学者告诉迪士尼,“他可以在改变公众舆论方面创造奇迹”,但前提是他避免最有害的刻板印象,比如前奴隶在南方种植园高唱欢乐歌曲的场景。

Disney took the notes, and then trusted to his own instincts.

迪士尼记下笔记,然后相信自己的直觉。

Steven Watts, Historian: : As usual, when Disney got advice, he often didn't pay much attention to it, and he just sort of went ahead with how he envisioned things.

史蒂文·沃茨,历史学家::像往常一样,当迪士尼得到建议时,他通常不会太在意,他只是按照自己的设想行事。

Narrator: : Disney chose to celebrate opening night of Song of the South in Atlanta, Georgia, where the celebrated epic of the Civil War South, Gone With the Wind , had premiered seven years earlier.

旁白:迪士尼选择在佐治亚州亚特兰大庆祝《南方之歌》的首映之夜,七年前,著名的南方内战史诗《乱世佳人》曾在这里首映。

The actors who played the major white roles were all there.

扮演主要白人角色的演员都在那里。

But not James Baskett, who played Uncle Remus: Georgia law barred the movie's star from entering the segregated theater.

但扮演雷穆斯叔叔的詹姆斯·巴斯克特却不然:佐治亚州法律禁止该电影的明星进入隔离的剧院。

Uncle Remus, Song of the South (archival, singing): : Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-a-Dee-Ay!

莱姆斯叔叔,南方之歌(档案,演唱)::Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,Zip-a-Dee-Ay!

My oh my, what a wonderful day.

天哪,天哪,真是美好的一天。

Plenty of sunshine headin' my way.

充足的阳光正向我袭来。

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah, Zip-a-Dee-Ay!

Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah,Zip-a-Dee-Ay!

Carmenita Higginbotham, Art Historian: : It is as if Walt is divorced himself from social context.

Carmenita Higginbotham,艺术史学家: 沃尔特似乎脱离了社会背景。

It's sort of stunning.

这有点令人惊叹。

Group of slaves on plantation, Song of the South (archival, singing): : It's the same ol' thing, want to get a bag of something for the hungry lord.

种植园里的一群奴隶,南方之歌(档案,歌唱)::都是同样的事情,想要为饥饿的领主买一袋东西。

Look up!

抬头!

Narrator: : Critics were split.

旁白::批评者意见不一。

"The whole film is beautifully produced," wrote one.

“整部电影制作精美,”其中一位写道。

"The plantation is traditional Deep South -- a dream place of magnolia blossoms and darkies singin' all day long...

“这个种植园是传统的南方腹地——一个开着木兰花、整天唱歌的黑人的梦想之地......

Don't let the children miss it."

别让孩子们错过了。”

Group of slaves on plantation, Song of the South (archival, singing): : …Go fly away!

种植园里的一群奴隶,南方之歌(档案,歌唱):……飞走吧!

Had the trouble with the weaver!

织工遇到麻烦了!

Sally, Song of the South (archival): : No, it's my fault.

莎莉,南方之歌(档案)::不,这是我的错。

I should've known you couldn't stop telling your stories.

我早该知道你无法停止讲述你的故事。

I don't like to say this Uncle Remus, but from now on I want you to stay away from Johnny.

我不想这么说莱姆斯叔叔,但从现在开始我希望你远离约翰尼。

Narrator: : Others, like the usually friendly New York Times , hit Disney hard…

旁白::其他人,比如一向友好的《纽约时报》,对迪士尼进行了严厉的打击……

Narrator: : ..."The master-and-slave relation is so lovingly regarded in your yarn that one might almost imagine that you figure Abe Lincoln made a mistake." The NAACP decried Song of the South as a "dangerously glorified picture of slavery," and many of its local chapters called for a boycott.

旁白::……“在你的故事中,主人和奴隶的关系被如此亲切地对待,以至于人们几乎会认为你认为亚伯·林肯犯了一个错误。”全国有色人种协进会谴责《南方之歌》是“危险地美化奴隶制的画面”,其许多地方分会呼吁抵制。

Carmenita Higginbotham, Art Historian: : Disney was utterly dismayed by the negative reaction to Song Of The South .

Carmenita Higginbotham,艺术史学家::迪士尼对《南方之歌》的负面反应感到非常沮丧。

He very much believed in the narratives that it was offering.

他非常相信它所提供的叙述。

He believed that these were American stories finally getting an opportunity to be on the big screen and in a feature film.

他相信这些美国故事终于有机会登上大银幕和故事片。

And so Walt is sort of shocked and disheartened by the responses that he's getting.

因此,沃尔特对他得到的回应感到有点震惊和沮丧。

Narrator: : Disney decided the attacks were being engineered by his old foes, Communists, who had been waiting for another chance to take a whack at him since the strike.

旁白:迪士尼认为这些袭击是他的宿敌共产党人策划的,自罢工以来,共产党人一直在等待再次攻击他的机会。

"Hollywood was loaded...

“好莱坞充满了......

with 'em," Walt would say.

和他们在一起,”沃尔特会说。

"I had a lot of people just hoping it was the end."

“很多人都希望这就是结局。”

There was a hot new animation studio in town by 1947 -- United Productions of America.

1947 年,镇上出现了一家热门的新动画工作室——United Productions of America。

UPA and its founders had very different ideas from Walt Disney's, and it looked like they were leading a creative revolution against everything Disney had stood for.

Narrator: : Disney was keeping an eye on UPA.

旁白::迪士尼一直在关注 UPA。

He wasn't so much threatened by its work as he was galled by its principal talent.

与其说他受到了它的工作的威胁,不如说他被它的主要才能所激怒了。

Art Babbitt was on the UPA payroll, along with a number of other artists and animators who had fled the Disney studios or been ushered out after the strike.

阿特·巴比特(Art Babbitt)和其他一些逃离迪士尼工作室或在罢工后被驱逐的艺术家和动画师都在 UPA 的工资单上。

Tom Sito, Writer: : The Burbank River goes past the Disney Studio and then it goes a mile or two down by where the UPA studio was.

And in fact it says that the studios would themselves agree not to hire anyone who was understood to be, alleged to be, a Communist.

If you don't have that footage, go out and shoot it." And he turns it into a narrative.

Narrator, Seal Island (archival): : Since no one else will nurse him, let's hope mother comes home soon, for if anything has happened to her, this pup will surely die.

解说员,海豹岛(档案)::既然没有人会照顾他,我们希望妈妈早点回家,因为如果她出了什么事,这只小狗肯定会死。

But Walt missed the excitement of feature animation, and by 1949 he was ready to start anew.

但沃尔特错过了动画长片的兴奋,到 1949 年,他准备重新开始。

Roy balked -- too expensive, too risky, he said -- and the brothers fought an epic, screaming battle.

罗伊最终一如既往地满足了沃尔特的愿望,并同意为一部新的动画长片《灰姑娘》筹集所需的 200 万美元。

But once production on the new film was up and running, Disney was uncharacteristically distant from his studio's signature undertaking.

He seemed wary of fully investing himself in the film, and left most of the hard work to his staff.

Nearing 50, Disney was also beginning to wear down, and so precipitously that he made sure to keep a trained nurse on the studio payroll.

年近 50 岁的迪士尼也开始疲惫不堪,而且速度如此之快,以至于他确保在工作室的工资单上保留一名训练有素的护士。

传记作者尼尔·加布勒:黑兹尔·乔治成为他一生中极少数可以与之交谈的人物之一。

Neal Gabler, Biographer: : Walt Disney is at low ebb.

传记作者尼尔·加布勒:沃尔特·迪士尼正处于低潮。

他说:“我意识到我永远无法做出像白雪公主一样好的作品。”当你认为华特迪士尼是一个总是放眼未来的人,一个总是试图开辟新道路的人,一个追求卓越的人。

旁白:当《纽约时报》的一位影评人在《灰姑娘》制作期间参观时,他发现迪士尼,正如他所写的那样,“完全、近乎奇怪地关注微型铁路发动机和他的汽车。

Nancy Koehn, Historian: : It's comfort and salvation and a working surface for the disappointments and confusions that comes to him in that period of his life.

Just think about that.

The Disneys were willing to produce a weekly show, but for a price: the network that got the show would have to provide much of the $5 million the brothers needed for the construction of Disneyland.

迪士尼愿意制作每周一次的节目,但要付出一定的代价:获得该节目的电视网必须提供兄弟俩建造迪士尼乐园所需的 500 万美元中的大部分。

Disneyland, at that point, was still largely in Walt's head, and his head alone.

罗伊打电话给沃尔特,沃尔特打电话给一位老迪士尼艺术总监,恳求他帮忙——“就像一个眼里含着泪水的小男孩,”赫伯·莱曼回忆道。

沃尔特连续在莱曼身边呆了超过 42 个小时,给他送三明治和奶昔,并在滚滚香烟烟雾中描述他想要什么。

Don Hahn, Animator: : So Walt can stand there and direct him around and say, "No, now make the castle bigger, and let's put a Frontierland over here, and maybe there's going to be an Indian village, and direct the orchestra." It's like Walt can stand there and go, "A little more viola, please," and have Herb Ryman lay out this whole plan.

唐·哈恩(Don Hahn),动画师:这样沃尔特就可以站在那里指挥他周围并说:“不,现在把城堡变得更大,让我们在这里放一个边境之地,也许会有一个印第安村庄,然后指挥管弦乐队。”就像沃尔特可以站在那里说,“请再多一点中提琴”,然后让赫伯·莱曼制定整个计划。

Narrator: : The two men put the drawing on a plane that Monday, but Roy still had a hard time sealing the deal.

旁白::周一,两人将画作送上了飞机,但罗伊仍然很难达成协议。

NBC and CBS had no interest in putting up the money for something called Disneyland.

NBC 和 CBS 没有兴趣为迪士尼乐园提供资金。

It took Roy months to convince the perennial third-place network, ABC, to take the bait.

罗伊花了几个月的时间才说服常年排名第三的美国广播公司上钩。

Walt later joked, "ABC needed the television show so damned bad that they bought the amusement park."

沃尔特后来开玩笑说:“美国广播公司非常需要这个电视节目,所以他们买下了这个游乐园。”
