Amusing Disney Org Chart - From Walt on Down

I'm not sure how old this Disney org chart is, but I'm guessing very. Ink and paint? What are those? In any case, it's amusing. Why are nurse, army coordinator, police, and morgue on there? The animation business is clearly more complex than I thought.

    Niurse: self explanatory in a large organization
    Army coordinator: clue as to the vintage of the chart (probably near WWII when Disney supported the war effort with propaganda (e.g. video found here: http://warpropaganda.wordpress.....sney-1942/)
    Police: security?
    Morgue: term for a publisher’s library

    This harkens back to a kinder and simpler time, when the release of a new Disney film involved national security, crowd control, and notification of Next Of Kin.

    Nice. We’ve come a long way since.

    Ink and paint are actually the depts that did the animation on the clear cells.
