Revealing quote from the English Wikipedia on Walt Disney:
Disney was a founding member of the anti-communist group Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals. In 1947, during the Second Red Scare, Disney testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), where he branded Herbert Sorrell, David Hilberman and William Pomerance, former animators and labor union organizers as Communist agitators. All three men denied the allegations. (Sorrell also testified before the HUAC in 1946, when insufficient evidence was found to link him to the Communist Party) Disney also accused the Screen Cartoonists Guild of being a Communist front, and charged that the 1941 strike was part of an organized Communist effort to gain influence in Hollywood. On January 12, 1955, Disney was approved by the Federal Bureau of Investigation as an official SAC (Special Agent in Charge). The designation was used in-house by the Bureau for a trusted person they could contact for information or further assistance. Memos indicate that he remained a source of information to his death.
Yes, he was a true believer in American "values" and totally indoctrinated by the official state propaganda of that time...

Yo x larry,
This Disney statue is in Singapore! This was in Queenstown, by the way, about 4.5 miles from downtown.
