Disney animators' strike
The bitter animators' strike of 1941 at Walt Disney Studios was a psychological turning point within the company. It had relatively little effect on Walt Disney's reputation with the public, but damaged his standing with left-leaning intellectuals who had heralded "jazz and the animated cartoon" as the two art forms which America had given to the world. It destroyed the paternalistic relation between Disney and his animation staff and cemented the studio's derogatory nickname of "the mouse factory."
