->''"Disney characters belong in a category by themselves. They are neither realistic specific individuals culled from observation of human nature, nor are they imaginative creations from a cartoonist's mind. They are creatures in limbo. Neither real nor cartoon. Most Disney characters have one simple personality trait and a visual gimmick to help us see it. [[WesternAnimation/LadyAndTheTramp Tramp]] leads with his butt, [[WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs Sneezy]] sneezes, [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Captain Hook sneers, Smee wiggles his fingers]], etc. The odd one even might have 2 traits although I'm struggling to think of one that does. These one and maybe 2 trait characters have been recycled for decades by animators and executives whose only influence seems to be other Disney cartoons or Disney imitators. It's as if there is a group of people who live in a tent somewhere in the middle of the earth and have no contact with the upper world. They have never seen real humans interacting, so can't caricature real human psychology in its infinite variations. They have also never seen any other artists' characters or interpretations of humanity. They have only other Disney and Disney imitations to study."''
