Few figures in cinema history are as towering as Russian filmmaker and theorist Sergei Mikhailovitch Eisenstein (1898-1948). Not only did Eisenstein direct some of the most important and lasting works of the silent era, including Strike , October , and Battleship Potemkin , as well as, in the sound era, the historical epics Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible --he also was a theorist whose insights into the workings of film were so powerful that they remain influential for both filmmakers and scholars today.

On Disney , which was begun in 1940 but was never finished, was part of a series of essays Eistenstein wrote on masters of cinema; for Eisenstein, Walt Disney offered a way to think about how such impulses and animism and totemism survived in modern consciousness and art.
