Kenneth Anger | Mouse Heaven "I've always considered movies evil; the day that cinema was invented was a black day for mankind." Kenneth Anger
Mickey Mouse has been castrated by Disney, he's now a pussy. Not the playful, evil little trickster of long ago, he's now remains the mouse of the suburbs, the well behaved pet of Ozzie & Harriet. Kenneth Anger on Mouse Heaven: Yes, I'm finishing a film I've already shot. It's a study of animated toys of a rare nature. These are collectibles of early Walt Disney toys. I've always loved Mickey Mouse since I was a little boy and I'm outraged about the current Disney company's attitude to Mickey Mouse. I mean they think they own it but all the children of the world own Mickey Mouse. And I have devised a way to star Mickey Mouse in a film that the current Disney company can't legally object to, by filming an antique toy collection of early Disney toys. And it's just a coincidence all those toys happen to be Mickey Mouse. I'm actually being very respectful of early Mickey Mouse. I hate later Mickey Mouse, because from "Fantasia" on the Disney people decided to humanize the mouse, remove his tail - which is a kind of castration - and turn him into a little boy who is a sort of a goody-two-shoes. And he's no longer the mischievous, sadistic mouse that he was in the beginning. He used to do nasty little tricks like twist the udders of cows and things like that. And that's the only mouse I'm interested in, I mean this kind of demon 'fetish' figure. Soundtrack by Ian Whitcomb, James and Bobby Purify.
