    Education for Death

    There are many sides to the work of Walt Disney. Beyond his most immediate and iconic works, and that of what the company regularly releases, there are subjects like these. It's easy to associate Disney with the cuddly, magical, child-friendly image that they've been pushing and cultivating since at least the early 1950s, when Walt started his long dance with television, sponsorships, and eventually... theme parks.

The storyline of HABFURDO/BUBBLE BATH could've easily been told as a live-action drama, but Kovasznai completely justified using animation. And how did he and the crew behind this film do that?
