The messages in Mel-O-Toons may have screwed my life up, but probably in a good way. At the tender age of 4 and 5 years I was exposed to messages of how working together could bring back missing sound to the barnyard animals, how the one who starts fastest does not not always win the race, how a small band of soldiers and a gift could defeat a much larger army, and then there was the explosive classical music to contend with. I pity the youngster like myself that were exposed to Mel-O-Toons but not Disney because if one took to heart the philosophically powerful messages of Mel-O-Toons at a tender age but were unaware of Disney's much larger influence on childhood cartoons it could lead to the mistaken belief that others of their age had been Mel-O-Tooned when they had actually been Disnified.
