I wonder if someone will tell the funny story that goes with "The New Spirit." (Summary: The Government asked Disney to do a short encouraging people to pay their income taxes. Disney did so, with Donald Duck starring. When they screened the cartoon, the Secretary of the Treasury or some high muckety-muck complained about it starring Donald Duck because he had "envisioned a character named 'Mr. Taxpayer.'" Disney was furious because he had basically given the Government his studio's equivalent of Clark Gable, knowing that no one would care about a cartoon starring "Mr. Taxpayer" but would care about Donald Duck.)
