Note 1: As discussed below, nothing came out of the larger H.C. Andersen film that Disney and his staff worked on the plans for several years. However, some shorter cartoon episodes were produced, in which, among other things. sees the young Andersen leave Odense and his arrival in Copenhagen, where he became a ballet student at the Royal Theater. These episodes were included in the film "From Aesop to Hans Christian Andersen" ("Fra Æsop til H. C. Andersen"). The film was included in the TV series Disneyland and was shown on American TV in 1954-55. It was later also shown on Danish TV.

     Director Bremerholm must be presumed to be the Disney company's then Danish representative, but I have not yet succeeded in establishing his identity. The seemingly animated feature, "Tempi", which Roy Disney mentions in the interview, I have not been able to identify either, but there is a possibility that the journalist has misunderstood the name "Bambi" (1942) and heard it as "Tempi". Oddly enough, Roy Disney does not mention "Cinderella" (1950; "Askepot"), although this film came before "Alice in Wonderland" (1951, "Alice I Eventyrland") and "Peter Pan" (1953). This is probably because "Cinderella" in 1946 was not yet planned, but it was this feature cartoon that actually came to the rescue of Walt Disney Productions at the time strained economy.

     Incidentally, at the time, it was a common perception among the press and audiences that Walt Disney himself drew his films. This was probably largely due to Disney's own public relations department, which had been promoting this "image" of Walt Disney since the 1930s. Well enough, Walt Disney was his own company's prime mover and supervisor, but he had not drawn and even made his films since his early years in Kansas City 1919-23 and in Los Angeles from 1924 onwards. He was a skilled cartoonist and animator, but it was not these qualities that brought him to the top of the cartoon world. Instead, it was his visions and quality requirements for the films he and his staff produced. The company's financial success, on the other hand, was largely due to its brother, Roy Disney, who from the beginning understood how to manage and finance Walt's creative dispositions.

     Relating to. Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (Anders And), the latter almost completely outperformed the former as a cartoon hero from the end of the 1940s, and after 1953, for a long number of years, no more cartoons were produced with Mickey. The last short cartoon with Mickey was The Simple Things (1953; "Mickey som Lystfisker"), in which it was actually Pluto who had the lead role, as had been the case with the six previous short Mickey films from 1948-52.
