Animation is giving life. But it is also making fantasy visible. The suspension of logic and the laws of physics in animation is what permits everything in it to make sense, what turns this communion of fantasy and life into pure meaning. Walt Disney gave visibility to meaning, to that which is abstract and beyond proof, that which exists as a function of faith. As a world of pure meaning, the world of animation coincides with that of faith. Disney animation is the visibility of faith, a metaphor of it. No wonder, it has been said that for Walt Disney animation was a religion. Like a religion, it was the expression of his own faith. Walt Disney gave life because he saw life as meaning, as faith. His giving lifeis his giving the joy, colors and freedom of faith.
