Grand Nana, also known as President Dagmar von Sweetsmeyer, is a Hamster businesswoman who was the founder and President of Nana’s Olde Fashioned Karamelle Delights. She was responsible for Karamelle’s Happiness Initiative. Dangerous factory working conditions, out of control gummies, witches, and Gobbler oppression all contributed to the uncharacteristic unhappiness around Karamelle.
“Nana is not a person. Nana is an ideal.”
―Grand Nana
Walter Elias Disney (December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American animator, film producer, voice actor, and entrepreneur. A pioneer of the American animation industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, he holds the record for most Academy Awards earned (22) and nominations (59) by an individual. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress and have also been named as some of the greatest films ever by the American Film Institute.
Disney was a shy, self-deprecating and insecure man in private but adopted a warm and outgoing public persona. He had high standards and high expectations of those with whom he worked. Although there have been accusations that he was racist or antisemitic, they have been contradicted by many who knew him. Historiography of Disney has taken a variety of perspectives, ranging from views of him as a purveyor of homely patriotic values to being a representative of American cultural imperialism. Widely considered to be one of the most influential cultural figures of the 20th century, Disney remains an important presence in the history of animation and in the cultural history of the United States, where he is acknowledged as a national cultural icon. His film work continues to be shown and adapted, the Disney theme parks have grown in size and number around the world and his company has grown to become one of the world’s largest mass media and entertainment conglomerates.
GrandMa’s Cookies was founded in Portland, Oregon in 1914. The company was acquired by PepsiCo subsidiary Frito-Lay in 1980 and the cookies were sold nationwide by 1983. Currently the brand offers chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin and chocolate brownie cookies in pre-packaged two-packs. Packages of mini vanilla creme sandwich and chocolate chip cookies are also available.
