Abstract
-
en_US
This large-format book in typical Disney and Golden Press style contains two fables among its twenty-one stories: TH (42) and GA (98), both done in a two-page spread and both with full-color illustrations. Many other pages in the book are done in two colors (e.g., black and red). TH uses Max Hare and Toby Tortoise from the early Disney tradition. Max still has his boxer's cape. Cocky Max Hare decided he could take time out for a nap. Most other versions do not make the nap a matter of conscious decision. The art style is updated from the earliest Disney presentations of this fable. GA is true to other Disney presentations of the fable. See The Wonderful World of Walt Disney's Fantasyland (1965), on which Kelsey and Moores also collaborated. The ants have an underground home entered through a trap-door apparently flush with the ground. The grasshopper starts out singing Oh, the world owes me a living and finishes singing Oh, I owe the world a living! As in other Disney versions, Andy Ant takes up the grasshopper's invitation to play, and the ants take him in, give him a hot bath, and order him to work by playing his fiddle for them. The book's spine is deteriorating and it shows a few stains.
