Many poets, musicians, painters andcineastes used at least one element from these greatimaginations and creativity in their artworks.The Arabs weren't away Animation too; and when Disney(1901-1966) started to make his first featureanimated film Snow White and Seven Dwarfs in 1930s, there was a small group of Russian carpenters whoworked with their Egyptian partners to create a filmfor the Egyptian Ministry of Defense as amobilization film for the national army against theNazi army attacking in the World War II.
