Eric Butterbaugh said:
During a recent symposium entitled Lolita in America (The New School,
NYC, 27-Sept-08), Alfred Appel briefly discussed *Lolita's *self-reflexive
structure (i.e. narrative involution, self-conscious fiction, etc.). He
said something to the effect of "[Disney's] Duck Amuck is the best
example of self-reflexivity in art." It's posted on YouTube and appears
on *Looney Toons Golden Collection: Volume 1.* Hope this helps.
MR: I was really happy to see this comparison from Appel, since I have, for several years now, used "Duck Amuck" (1953) in my course on VN as an example of VN's view of art. I should mention, however, that it is a Warner Bros. cartoon, not a Disney cartoon.
