- theymos, on 02/24/2008, -3/+137Those are pretty good. He should've become a crazy artist instead of a crazy dictator.
- Marvelboy, on 02/24/2008, -9/+136When I was a kid watching those movies I always thought Doc was Jewish, which makes this whole situation quite funny in a terrible TERRIBLE sort of way.
- Siegfriedson, on 02/24/2008, -2/+116You can view Hitler's art online: http://www.hitler.org/art/
- misconstrued, on 02/24/2008, -4/+101...or maybe he just saw the movie? Does everything have to be a conspiracy? :)
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -24/+117walt disney, aldolf hitler. same thing
- smcavoy, on 02/24/2008, -6/+75Dr. Hibbert:
"Well, only one in two million people has what we call the "evil gene". Hitler had it, Walt Disney had it..." - thtroyer, on 02/24/2008, -2/+59I'm pretty sure he tried, but he was rejected -- only adding to his bitterness.
- bliz, on 02/24/2008, -1/+56One tried but failed to take over the world. Another's plush toy is sitting on your kids' sofa now.
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -1/+56Guest: "Is that a Matisse?"
PhillyTech: "No, it's a HITLER!"
Guest: "Oh... uh. ok...." (backpedals through doorway of house) - anchorboi, on 02/24/2008, -0/+53Hitler was in possession of his own personal copy of Disney's Snow White. He was a huge fan of the film.
Seriously. - ileftfark, on 02/24/2008, -5/+54Gepetto: Whoops, I dropped my glasses. (Bends down, butt facing Pinochio.) Oh, by the way Pinochio, there were some cookies missing from the jar. Uh, did you take them?
Pinochio: No, pa. I didn't.
Gepetto: Are you sure you didn't?
Pinochio: No, pa. I'd never lie to you.
Gepetto: Are you sure? I mean, you could lie to me. And who knows? You may even get away with it. - kACE, on 02/24/2008, -1/+49No one has said that Hitler drew the originals. These are just sketches that he allegedly made after having seen the movie. He was a huge Disney fan after all, so that doesn't sound too far fetched.
- TheAkolyte, on 02/24/2008, -1/+43life isn't half as exciting when everythings not a conspiracy theory.
- AndrewDB, on 02/24/2008, -1/+34It's a small world after all.
- tehknotte, on 02/24/2008, -0/+33lol hitler.org
- NerveBand, on 02/24/2008, -2/+31I think I heard somewhere before they said taht he got denied in all the Art Colleges which were led by Jewish leaders. o.0
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -2/+28Leni Riefenstahl. To be fair to all the people who "met with the Nazis" or "worked with the Nazis", We didn't know how bad they were until the end of the war. Sure, Hitler was a dictator, but we deal with dictators on a fairly friendly basis to this day. (Musharraf anyone?) Even the Germans themselves didn't know the extent of the Holocaust, it's not like the Nazis went around advertising what went on in their prison camps. It's sort of like Guantanamo on a much bigger scale. We don't know what goes on there, it could be just as bad and we'd never know unless we got invaded and the invaders went into Guantanamo with a camera like the Americans did at the end of WWII.
- MOJIRA, on 05/17/2008, -0/+25How different would the world be if Hitler succeeded as a painter, if Castro succeeded as a Baseball pitcher, and Bush (not comparing to Hitler or even Castro) was a baseball commissioner.
- BeanTeddyMagic, on 02/24/2008, -0/+25Both films were released before the drawings were produced.
Did Hitler draw Disney characters? Maybe, but did draw the originals? No. - tman422, on 02/24/2008, -1/+25Walt Disney did meet a Nazi propagandist Film maker at the Studio. She was very well known for her work in Film. Later when it was known that she was a Nazi propagandist for Hitler, Walt refused to admit ever meeting her. What aspiring artist hasn't tried to draw Disney Characters for fun? To connect that with meeting Walt is silly.
- Ganja420, on 02/24/2008, -3/+27Hey my uncle died in auschwitz!
He fell out of the guard tower. - vertinox, on 02/24/2008, -0/+22Its not really that far fetched. Hitler loved reading cowboy novels, watching American cartoons, making sketches of friends, and various other past time things in the 1930s. Despite planning and carrying out some of the worst atrocities and being such a angry public speaker, his personal life was a paradox of this image. Most people who knew him on a personal level (like his secretary) said he was a kind friendly guy with a sense of fatherly humor who liked playing with his dog. Not to mention his love affair with Eva was often seen as nothing abusive and almost an equal relationship.
Given that he still directly ordered some pretty bad things and had people carry out genocide on his behalf.
Of course, he didn't sit around eating chocolates and play with toy trains like Goring. - inactive, on 02/24/2008, -3/+24http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6omQ5JjjLsE
- Jarasmen, on 02/24/2008, -5/+26Everything makes sense now...
- leonhyral, on 02/24/2008, -1/+22Congratulations on getting the joke.
- TruthOasis, on 02/24/2008, -2/+22even though I think the Disney corporation has some propagandist elements to it...Why is it that everything Hitler liked is condemned? Hitler drank water, everyone quick stop drinking.
- carpespasm, on 02/24/2008, -2/+22Most people really just want to hate Hitler, and see him as a bogeyman and monster, and that's a fair assessment of who he is as a historical figure. On the other hand you have to acknowledge that he was still human, and capable of more than being a dictator and genocidal maniac. It's unsettling to have to accept that, because it makes it seem like it would be so much easier to be like him if given enough power, and that there's no hard line one would cross to become who he was.
- artofwar420, on 02/24/2008, -1/+18Whatever the case with Castro, if Hitler would have become and artist like he wanted (PROCRASTINATOR too? read "The War of Art") our technology would be slightly behind, maybe computer games would not exist? Or be completely behind today's. Many, many Jews wouldn't migrate to the U.S. causing possibly Hollywood to fall into a plateau of mediocrity. My point is, war advances technology, it specially did during the WWII.
- Blandyman, on 02/24/2008, -0/+17Bush would've brought Castro into the AAA majors and Hitler would've painted his "cartoon-version" all-star card!
- greenamp, on 02/24/2008, -3/+19It doesn't matter if he could ***** rainbows. He was responsible for the brutal deaths and torture of millions of innocent people.
The real mind bender in this is our perception of the personification of evil. We naturally just think that evil is all red and fire and pitchfork and you will see it coming for miles, when in reality evil can appear just as wholesome as good to the observing eye.
I am not a religious man at all but I always found it fascinating that the bible describes lucifer as "the most beautiful angel in heaven," not an ugly hellboy thing with horns. I think that's how evil really is. It most often can have virtues we consider beautiful or harmless. Yet if you can lead a movement responsible for murdering millions of men, women, and children, it doesn't matter how many aspects of your being are pretty, you are the personification of evil.
We probably pass several people a day who could have the potential of doing the same thing or worse if given the chance. - benighted, on 02/24/2008, -3/+18guessing what did Goebbels give Hitler for Christmas in 1937?
A set of 18 Mickey Mouse films - MiDri, on 02/24/2008, -1/+15stop your logic! IT BURNS US!
- Jpesci, on 02/24/2008, -0/+13Walt Disney was not an anti-semite in any way, shape or form, with many blacks and Jews (and even homosexuals) working for him at his studio over the years. It's just a myth that gets perpetuated constantly by people who never bother to actually look up the facts. The only similarities at all between these two people is that they supposedly both grew up in a hostile domestic situation. Otherwise they are opposites.
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -3/+16and theyre both antisemetic *****
- mal1964, on 02/24/2008, -2/+15Pinocchio: "He's my conscience. He tells me what's right and wrong."
- VitriolAndAngst, on 02/24/2008, -4/+17I think our image of Hitler, is kind of a cartoon of evil today. We are afraid that if we really got to know him and his rationale, he would sound like so many others. The difference between Hitler and Bush, for instance, is only that Hitler tortured and killed MORE people, and was more successful. They really have the same personality types --except that Hilter has slightly more honorable and was less of a Frat boy prankster. Actually, other than the mass killings, he was probably less of an ***** than Bush. Both were frustrated "my way or the highway" perfectionists who could not accept criticism. OK, and Hitler wasn't born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and served in the military with distinction.
Damn, I can't believe I'm finding Hitler qualities now. - QuestVR, on 02/24/2008, -5/+17I'm surprised the man who devised the concept of a physically and mentally superior aryan race would look kindly on dwarves.
- artofwar420, on 02/24/2008, -0/+12I am not saying war is good though, but sometimes it has positive effects, ALONG with the obvious negative ones.
- MiDri, on 02/24/2008, -2/+14Only if your a pretentious art prick. People can find beauty in anything, and Hitler WAS a good artist -- he just could not do what was important at the time, portraits.
- critik, on 02/24/2008, -3/+14Oh, come on.
Disney was a great man. You may hate the company for what it is now, and I don't blame anyone for thinking that, because, after all, who do we have to blame for High School Musical and the like?
He was a businessman, and a damned good one, but he never really struck me as sinister. Just a guy with a lot of dreams. Disneyland was built because he noticed the lack of a safe and clean place to take his daughters to play. - smacksaw, on 02/24/2008, -3/+14Volkswagen, Siemens, Disney, IBM...they're pretty far removed from the garbage of WWII. If only we could move on...
- jun2san, on 02/24/2008, -2/+13i think pinochio was saying he did take them
- subkey, on 02/24/2008, -0/+11"Laugh at my art, will they! I'll show them!"
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -0/+11Awwwww
See? He wasn't such a bad guy after all. Sure, he kill a few million people but we've all made mistakes right? - jtcalhoun, on 02/24/2008, -0/+9The legend of Fidel Castro and his stymied success as a baseball player is a myth.
http://www.snopes.com/sports/baseball/castro.asp - nbyn, on 02/24/2008, -0/+9Where are the drawings of the disgruntled goat, uncle ant, and ku klux clam?
- inactive, on 02/24/2008, -0/+9Wow. thanks for the link. Hitler really was an ***** but he was still a very good artist. I would love to have a couple of his works simply for conversation pieces.
- chubbybubba, on 02/24/2008, -1/+9This is surprising, especially considering the fact that Mickey Mouse was the first black cartoon character.
- jbrowng, on 02/24/2008, -0/+8Don't listen to him, he's clearly a government agent sent to control our thoughts with 'logic'!
