This was the first step towards the emergence of the “film generation,” for whom the doors of “Bonnie and Clyde” and “Weekend” (1968),
WATCH NOW The words “Disney” and “animation” fit together so firmly in the public mind that it is difficult to think of any other studio producing a feature length cartoon.
