When I lived in Tokyo a friend of mine told me he was at a bar and he met a guy who worked at Tokyo Disneyland as a mascot. I'm not sure if this conversation actually happened this way or my friend was pulling my leg a little. But it seems plausible to me it's real.
Friend: "You work at Disneyland?"
Guy: "Yeah."
Friend: "What do you do there?"
Guy: "I'm a mascot." [I don't remember who.]
Friend: "You must have great stories. Tell me about it."
Guy: "I can't. I'm not supposed to talk about it."
All new Cast Members are required to attend 'Traditions' on their first day of work; this class imparts the importance of Disney culture, heritage, values, and policies through media and group activities. This is the day where new Cast Members get their first sight of backstage.
Also, humans individually are weak. A naked and alone human would die almost instantly in nature, and basically any large beast could take an unarmed human 1v1 if it was so inclined.
The only reason humans dominated the globe is our social aspect, our teamwork, our collaboration and our sharing of knowledge. Teamwork makes weak individuals strong together. A union can make weak workers strong together, strong enough to go toe-to-toe with a massive billion dollar corporation. Walt wasn't afraid of unions because they were weak.
Listen Jack! Only the strong survive! And everybody knows that the strongest members of the pack are the ones that are separated, alone, and seasoned to perfection
"Don't forget this - it's the law of the universe that the strong shall survive and the weak must fall by the way, and I don't give a damn what idealistic plan is cooked up, nothing can change that"
Probably either fairy godmother from Cinderella or Jiminy Cricket from Pinocchio (can't recall which)
