For example there is a scene where the Lion, Tin man and Scarecrow need to get into the castle to save Dorothy from the Wicked Witch of the West. Scarecrow is the one that offers his plan and it worked just the way they had hoped too. What the Scarecrow initially resembles are the farmers during the Populist movement era.
The park was more “Americanized” and had little to do with European culture. “They called the park an American cultural abomination.” (Hartley, 141) There were also three other amusement parks in the area that had failed and gone bankrupt. Being the monopoly that they are, they thought they were better than everyone else and were able to do more and get more people attracted the the park. They thought about the American version of Disney with little consideration of how the Europeans feelings/considerations. Unfortunately this was not the case, sales were down and the number of people were down based on the recession in the area.

People get the deception that the story of Pocahontas was in fact the story of the Disney movie. People don’t understand the real story of the Powhatan tribe. Townsend believes that being a hero in the real world is a lot different than in an epic tale. It means a lot to be considered a hero, and Townsend believes that Pocahontas and her people were very heroic. The Powhatan people had great courage, brave, fearless and extremely daring.

Still feeling terribly guilty Hercules searched for forgiveness. To receive forgiveness he needed to perform “The Labors of Hercules” (Hamilton). There were 12 labors and they were practically impossible. Hercules did indeed achieve to finish all 12 tasks. “He was taken to heaven, where he was reconciled to Hera and married to his daughter Hebe.” (Hamilton) None of this was mentioned in the movie but I think it was for a good
