Disney understood what driving & bad urban design creating car dependancy 🚗 can do to us 70 years ago 👇👇

There's a Catalan pop rock song that says, "disfressat d'home normal, trobareu un animal" (dressed up like a normal human being, you'll find a monster), referring to car drivers. This video is exactly on point.

By "Els Pets", the song titled "Dins de cada cotxe hi ha un animal" (a monster inside every car) https://www.viasona.cat/grup/els-pets/calla-i-balla/dins-de-cada-cotxe-hi-ha-un-animal

Dins de cada cotxe hi ha un animal, de l'àlbum "Calla i balla" (Els Pets)

Informació i lletra de la cançó Dins de cada cotxe hi ha un animal, de l'àlbum Calla i balla (1991) de Els Pets a Viasona

@albertcardona @dmoser Ah great! That might be something for the Kidical Mass playlists. As a sidenote: I find it fascinating that "cotxe" seems to come from the same root as "coach" (English) or "Kutsche" (German). #kidicalmass #KidicalMass
@dmoser - They still drive like this on El Camino Wheel.
@dmoser they show this in every brazilian driving school to teach about defensive driving hahaha it’s the only memory I have from driving school

Which is what makes the gridlock of cars and busses in Walt Disney World so sad.
@dmoser not sure if you’ve seen the entire video but goofy goes from driver to pedestrian then back to driver again. Very insightful from 70 years ago

Incredibly, the woke wave began at Disney 70 years ago. 🤭

Walt Disney had a great understanding about transportation and he loved trains

@dmoser The metamorphosis scene of Mr Walker is epic.
@morph @dmoser ich glaube auf Deutsch heißt es hier "er verwandelt sich in einen Kraftfahrer", was so schön passt.
@daputz Absolut. Mr Wheeler ist eine Ikone.

@dmoser Thanks for giving me a search term. I remembered that one from 80ies TV and haven't found it since.

@dmoser Ein bisschen untertrieben aber im Wesentlichen trifft es den Nagel auf den Kopf.

There's a series of short stories, by Buzzati occurring in Hell.

There's one about road rage, of course.
