What Tezuka thought about Disneyland and legacy.

[dannavy85]

One story from Tezuka's life has to do with a conversation he had with his son Makoto in the early 1980's. Makoto asked his father if he ever considered a Tezuka theme park much like what Walt Disney had done and that Osamu reacted quite negetively, calling Disney's theme parks an enormous self-grandizing waste.

One elementary school manga textbook for K to 6 grade that documents Tezuak's life has him saying that lasting education is far more important than some temporary moment of bliss. He tells Makoto that he wants to leave behind a lasting legacy to his name and that if someone learned something good from all his years of work, that would be enough.

"A library or a museum...simple enough." He says to Makoto. "They last well beyond a park boundry."
