All of us were artists once. We drew dinosaurs and rocket ships. We sketched the people in our lives and the creatures we imagined. We poured paint onto a canvas to make something new, something that did not exist before.
You are still an artist. You have just forgotten what it was like to be one. How to rediscover how we can rekindle our sense of wonder in the ordinary and the mundane?

Starting with Pinocchio (1940), Disney began producing full-length animated features, with which they introduced new characters such as Donald Duck and Goofy as well as new versions of old favorites including Jiminy Cricket (replacing Jiminy Crow) and Tinker Bell. After moving to Hollywood three years later, Disney continued to produce cartoons for theaters. During World War II, he was a special consultant to the United States Army on the creation of training films for soldiers in battlefield conditions.
Toward the end of the war, he prepared a film that showed how American culture was affected by mobilization; this film was intended to be shown only to military leaders but was accidentally released to the public in 1945. That year also
