The Seriousness of Playing

When you look at a miniature, be it a toy or a model, you immediately imagine a world happening in or through it. In creating such world you act like a god, and in living it in your imagination, you also become a character of it: a creature. In his love of toys and miniatures and in his creation therefrom, Walt Disney brought out the spirit of childhood as the common ground between  ritualistic activity and playing: the right to invent characters; to become a character and to follow scripts. 

   Disney gave shape to the right of giving matter a meaning beyond its appearance: to turn the world into one big story.
