This is an interesting video essay about the unlikely friendship between Sergei Eisenstein and Walt Disney. The two met during Eisenstein's stay in Hollywood in 1930, and Eisenstein considered Disney perhaps the greatest artist working in film, and would later call Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs the greatest of all films. It has been argued that Disney's style had a big influence on Eisenstein's approach to making both Alexander Nevsky and Ivan the Terrible Parts 1 and 2.

Hello, I find very interesting this article. Eisenstein has an unfinished movie about mexican tradition and as a mexican myself is very interesting to learn more about him. Now I see he has a wide comprehension of art, culture and politics
