Disney
Hello, I find it difficult to understand this metaphor about Walt Disney and his Pirates of the Caribbean:
"Bambi and Dumbo are delightful, enduring children's treasures. They are not meant to be PBS documentaries. So with the theme park. Walt Disney's genius was to drain the boardwalk midway of its anarchy and menace. He smoothed and creamed and pureed it into a shamelessly sweet, hopelessly inauthentic 3-D movie set called a theme park."
I'm posting a bit more than the sentence I need so as to give you some context. Thanks!

It seems to be describing Disneyland, Disney's first theme park. The old travelling circuses and amusement parks, with their midways, sideshows and freak shows were a bit seedy and grusome, sometimes bordering on the unethical. Disney designed his theme parks to be family-friendly.

Mister MicawberDisney eliminated all the scary parts in the Disney theme parks.Maybe you never went on "Mr. Toad's wild Ride." It scared the bejezus out of me at a young and tender age. But that didn't stop me from getting in the line for another go-round!
