also comment on Escaleation by cartoon brew user "Jerry" :

Escalation by Ward Kimball made this film independently from the Disney Studio in 1968. It is the only independent short ever made by one of Disney’s Nine Old Men. He screened it at film festivals, college campuses and personally gave 16mm copies to friends and liberal-minded fans. The film below may be considered NSFW depending on where you work.

Okay, I post this, not because I completely understand all of the symbolism in how it relates to Vietnam and the times, but because it is a film by Ward Kimball that was just posted on YouTube the other day. If you visit the page it's on you will see quite a few comments about it. I am going to assume that in the coming days this will generate much talk on a lot of Disney websites.
Please use caution as this file contains some explicit material.
I'd really like to know what all of you think about this piece. Please leave a comment if you feel moved to do so! :D
