"Great artist admired other great artist." Not really breaking news. I think the work of Disney and his team of animators has long been recognized as brilliant.

"Great artist admired other great artist." Not really breaking news. I think the work of Disney and his team of animators has long been recognized as brilliant. There's no need for the chip on the shoulder. The idea of Eisenstein as a live action animator is very cool though. I've only seen Battleship Potemkin, but even from that I see what the writer of this piece means. It took an admirer of animation to think that creatively about editing, and to make the move from realism to something more/less. Fun fact: my grandfather was a dyed in the wool commie, and he saw Battleship Potemkin probably 1,000 times. My grandmother could not understand how he could watch it over and over again, but even after one viewing, I get it. It's thrilling.
