"The Golden Touch": Walt Disney's Actual Folly

Have you ever been tempted to own DVD sets, not strictly for their contents, but for the appeal of their packaging and presentation? Have you ever been tempted to own DVDs that were enclosed in a sturdy aluminum tin case, like they emerged from a cold vault buried thousands of feet beneath the earth's crust? Have you ever been tempted to fool your fellow schoolyard chums by placing these tin jalopies in a mini fridge and handling them with sterilized tongs like they were ancient jade necklaces that you sold on the black market? Have you ever been tempted to wave the DVD's 'certificate of authenticity' in some stupid nerd's face and tell them this is only one out of a limited 150,000 copies?

These hypothetical queries were directed toward myself and I answer all of them with an emphatic "Yes"!

These DVDs that I am belaboring-ly alluding to are the Walt Disney Treasures. The brainchild of film critic/perpetually well-groomed beard-man Leonard Maltin, the Walt Disney Treasures were a collection of historic (and even rarely seen) Disney content. It covered pretty much all the bases: old Mickey Mouse cartoons, World War II propaganda, and TV shows like The Mickey Mouse Club, Walt Disney Presents, and Davy Crockett.

One of these Walt Disney Treasures DVD sets that I owned and (I suppose) cherished were the Silly Symphonies, the musical-oriented Disney shorts that were made between 1928 to 1939. Beside the fact that these shorts were delightfully frothy bon-bons made for quick consumption, they were a sort of experimental testing ground for future Disney productions (Disney's ground-breaking work with the multi-plane camera would prove useful in their first full-length animated feature Snow White and the Seven Dwarves). They also provided a refreshing diversity of form and style. Audiences in the 1930's probably wanted a change of pace from the Mickey Mouse content they were subjected to monthly at the local movie station house.

(This is my copy of the Silly Symphonies DVD set, though I seem to have inexplicably lost the tin case, unfortunately exposing its contents to all manner of elements, including that red pepper flake lodged between the doubles L's in SILLY.)

I'd spent many hours watching Silly Symphonies as a young child and I've been revisiting them recently just to see if they still retain their, shall we say, symphonic silliness. And as I was watching old King Cole prattle on about how he was, indeed, a merry old soul and how a merry old soul he verily was, I reflected on how I use to frequently spin the Silly Symphony disk on the DVD turn-table and I suddenly remembered the first short I would watch as the needle dropped onto the disk, and that short was The Golden Touch. And, frankly, I'm not sure why. There were definitely better shorts than The Golden Touch, both visually and musically. But why did I gravitate toward this one, so much so that it was a first priority watch? Was it simply an aperitif before the main entrees of, say, a Music Land, or a Three Little Pigs, or a Who Killed Cock Robin? Or was it more than that?

The Golden Touch is an adaptation of the Greek myth of Phrygian monarch Midas (the son of Gordias, inventor of the most excessively over-tied rope knot in antiquity), who makes a wish, to the Greek deity Bacchus (also best known as Dionysus), that everything he touches transforms into a yellow-orange-colored soft metal with an atomic number of 79 (Midas is granted this request after he saves Dionysus' drunken satyr of an adviser, Silenus...actually, that's a lie....Midas found him passed out in his rose garden and politely drove him back to his Bacchic abode; no harm, no foul....at worst, a speck of vomit on the rose petals). Midas revels in his new gift, but later has the harrowing, if not unsurprising, revelation that comestibles of any kind can turn into gold as well. Unless his stomach doubles as a foundry furnace, he can't very well pass gold through his digestive tract and get any meaningful nutrients out of it. Fed up with this inconvenience, Midas decides to wash his hands of the whole thing...literally washes his hands in the Pactolus River and that's it.

That's the original version recounted by Ovid, author of the Metamorphoses (according to Edith Hamilton in her landmark 1942 text Mythology). It wasn't until Nathaniel Hawthorne came along that the fable developed a tragic angle by giving Midas a daughter that he accidentally turns to gold (from his 1852 children's book A Wonder-Book for Girls and Boys). For the purposes of brevity and a desire to not be a harsh vibe-killer for ten minutes, Walt Disney chose to stick to the safer self-preservation angle of the original.

The myth is iconic in its own right. The name "Midas" is synonymous with irresponsible, unchecked greed and its consequences....wait, is it? "Having the Midas Touch", is a common phrase that, ironically, obfuscates the tale's cautionary moral with a more generic definition of easy success. There's even a company named after that greedy bastard that installs car mufflers and they tell us to "trust the Midas touch."

I guess we haven't learned anything from this myth, have we? My guess (I almost said "theory" but that would imply that I'm smart) as to why there's still so much greed in this world is that there haven't been any real substantial King Midas adaptations in popular culture. How can we learn when the masses have not been exposed to this important myth by way of a giant, money-making blockbuster? Timothée Chalamet in a fat suit laying waste to nature and his fellow humans with garish CGI effects, throw in a couple of songs, and pad out the running time with a giant battle at the end with a golden terraforming laser shooting out of the sky and you have yourself a flop...I mean, a hit!

As much as movies, television, and pop culture in general have confronted the myth's themes of greed and isolation, direct wholesale adaptations of the myth itself are few and far between. The only half-way substantial adaptations I could find on YouTube (ones that were not cheap educational kid videos) was an episode of Mythic Warriors, an aggressively mediocre late-nineties Saturday morning cartoon show that retold Greek myths, and a fairly impressive stop-motion short film from the fifties (produced by none other than stop-motion animation pioneer Ray Harryhausen). TVTropes.org lists some animated series that have dedicated episodes to the Midas concept (Hercules: The Animated Series had an episode that depicted Midas as a Bond villian and there's an episode of Yogi Bear that has Yogi blessed with "The Pik-a-Nik Basket Touch"). And if you've ever frequented a elementary school library (assuming you were, at one point, a child), you'll probably remember seeing that horrifying book cover for The Chocolate Touch, where a young boy pecks his mother on the cheek and her upper torso turns a shade of cocoa-brown. Let's also not forget the middle school play that I co-starred in called "King Midas and the Touch of Gold" (written by Vera Morris, published by Pioneer Drama Service, the leading name in easy-bake, royalty-free community theater/primary school theatrical productions since time immemorial) where I played the pivotal role (or at least that's how I delude myself into thinking it was) of Prince Ajax, Midas' future son-in-law.

Disney's The Golden Touch, as far as I can tell, is the most well-known adaptation of the Greek myth (or at least the only one with a Wikipedia article, which is its own form of legitimacy), despite it also being one of the lesser known Silly Symphonies, one that was willfully obscured by its creator and director, Walt Disney. Snow White and the Seven Dwarves is often given the ironic moniker of "Disney's Folly" due to the fact it was a risky venture that was predicted to fail, but ended up being the highest grossing film of 1937. That's all fine and good and hopefully you get pats on the back for relating that anecdote at a future cocktail party, but if there is a project that could rightfully be deemed Disney's actual folly, it was The Golden Touch.

It was the first cartoon that Disney directed in five years (his last being 1930's The Cactus Kid, though he technically directed a couple of little things here and there, like Parade of the Award Nominees, a tiny short specifically made for the 1932 Academy Awards). There are varying interpretations as to why exactly Walt Disney returned to the director's chair. One of them was that he wasn't satisfied with his animators' work so he felt the need to show them a lesson on how it's really done. Another was that one of his head animators left and decided to take it upon himself to fill that space. Or he wanted to make important movies with strong social messages. I don't know. Who knows? So anyway, he utilized only two animators for his production (Norm Ferguson and Fred Moore) and it took about eight months to finish. And it flopped.

It was such a flop that Disney's animators would often use it as a riposte to any of Walt's nagging complaints. The animators could just say The Golden Touch and the sound of bellowing airhorns would pierce the air as a plum-faced Walt Disney left the room in silence.

And that was the last time Walt Disney directed anything. Ever.

It is not a highly-regarded short, though I would argue it gets way too much of a bad rep, which is why I will defend it in my typically over-rigorous way. Let's take a look, shall we?

(Keep in mind, this adaptation is set in a medieval setting, so don't expect Mount Olympus looming over the horizon.)

We open on a wide shot of a dungeon that serves as King Midas' treasury/counting room. The floor is covered with bags and chests of gold coins. Midas is at his desk, counting each individual coin (with no aid of abacus or feathered quill to keep track of his slow progress) as a black cat, wearing an Elizabethan ruff around its neck, looks on, rhythmically curling and uncurling its tail. The location is dour, with grey stone walls and a barred window casting a solitary shaft of light on our lone protagonist (one of the bars on the window is suspiciously bent, giving the scene a more sinister cast than is necessary). There's a garish sign over the stairwell passage that proclaims, "IN GOLD I TRUST", the kind of vulgar display you'd see displayed unironically at Mar-A-Lago. The gloomy mise-en-scène is starkly contrasted with the merry counting ditty Midas sings as he stacks each coin into unorganized piles.

One billion, two million, twenty-five-thousand, nine-hundred-and-eight,

One billion, two million, twenty-five-thousand, nine-hundred-and-nine,

One billion, two million, twenty-five-thousand, nine-hundred-and-ten,

One billion, two million, twenty-five-thousand, nine-hundred-and....

Before he can say eleven (cheekily nodding that eleven would break the syllabic count of the meter), he mightily sneezes, knocking over all the piles. He notices the camera, tips his crown to the audience, and launches into an introductory song about himself.

Before he starts singing, let's take a moment to describe King Midas' appearance (or at least Walt Disney's interpretation of him). Imagine the kind of fat, middle-aged slob you find haunting the dog track, or the local OTB, adorned in slovenly dress and a cheap stogie clamped in his teeth (narrow it down to a less lovable Uncle Buck). The kind of long shot loser that, if you even emerge within his eye-line, will chatter your ear off about how great a handicapper he is and how the so-called "experts" don't know jack-shit. A red drinker's nose, a bald dome with clownish tufts of black hair on the sides of his cranium, flabby arms, large hairy man-hands, and a stringy mustache that reminds one of a hairbrush if its bristles were made of insect-legs, all ensconced in a hourglass-shaped head. Top it off with a Jughead-like crown askance on his noggin and a ratty, oversized robe purchased from a thrift costume shoppe. It's a comically grotesque character design, like a lazy court jester posing as a king. It's like if the real king took the week off and handed off the reins to his shiftless, dead-beat brother-in-law.

The song goes as follows:

I'm known as rich King Midas,

And when you look at me,

You see a king who knows a thing

About his treasury.

I've never cared for women.

I've never cared for wine.

But when I count a large amount of money,

It's divine!

(giggle)

Gold, gold, gold!

I worship it! I love it!

Gold, gold, gold!

I wish I had more of it!

My love for shiny gold is such

That I could never have too much.

I wish that everything I touch

Would turn to gold, gold, gold!

(laughs uproariously)

It's not a good song and Midas is not a good vocalist, but it fits his boorish character and it's an efficient introduction. Being someone who is not musically inclined, it's the kind of song I would come up with in an unguarded moment.

Just then, a little man appears out of thin air. The stone walls turn golden, giving the room a warmer cast. The little man is a stereotypically androgynous elf character with bald head, big ears, pointy nose, green tights, and a feather in his cap. I'm reminded of those Santa's helper elf dolls my grandma used to stick in her Christmas tree.

A startled Midas cradles his gold doubloons and asks, "Who art thou, stranger?" The little man introduces himself as Goldie. Midas replies, "What do you want? My gold?" Goldie claims gold is "chickenfeed" to him. "Behold!" Goldie proclaims as he delicately places an index finger on the black cat's head. The cat, frozen in place, transforms into a golden statuette (an 18 K designation embossed on its torso). Midas' crown does a back flip. Seemingly unconcerned about the cat and its possible demise, Midas flicks the statuette for authenticity and it "dings" in reply. Midas begins to salivate. The Golden Touch!

There's a lovely moment of acting from Midas here. Midas lasciviously grabs the statuette but Goldie stops him. Goldie wags his finger like an adult scolding a child. A look of petulance, followed by a cocked eyebrow of suspicion clouds Midas' features. Then, he reluctantly lets go and sits back with this helpless expression on his face as Goldie snaps his fingers and claps his hands, and voila, the cat is back to normal. When the cat runs away, Midas looks briefly disappointed. In a performance dominated by broad strokes of acting (his performance is mostly ham-and-cheese with a side of big hairy mitts wildly gesticulating), it's easily the most humanizing characterization of Midas we get throughout the whole short. He's a fat, stubborn child, but not so stubborn to where he won't listen or be guided by a little reason. Underscored by Frank Churchill's lilting string section, it's a moment that gently nudges towards Midas' redemption.

Midas offers his gold and his kingdom for the Golden Touch. He even takes off his robe (leading to a funny reveal that he's not wearing a regal gown so much as a regal undershirt, exposing hairy, liver-spotted shoulders). Goldie warns of the perils of the Golden Touch, but Midas won't hear of it ("Fiddlesticks! Give me gold! Not advice!"). Goldie relents and blesses Midas with the Golden Touch. He hoots a little "toodle-oo" and disappears into the invisible ether from whence he came, the room returning to its original gloomy state.

Midas twiddles his large sausage fingers, now containing a terrible power. What can he test it on? Why, the cat, of course! This rotund fool chases the kitty around the castle, with his index finger stupidly pointing out in front of him.

When the cat runs out into the courtyard, we finally get to see the extent of Midas' kingdom. It's completely devoid of humans. No servants, maids, courtiers, or jesters in sight. It's emptier than the Queen's kingdom in Snow White and the Seven Dwarves. At least she had a burly huntsman and a creepy mirror to keep her company.

The cat climbs up an apple tree, which Midas collides into headlong. The tree transforms into gold, as golden apples (due to the the sheer weight of this miraculous alchemy) fall on Midas' head (though some of the apples still retain their red hue, which never made sense to me. I presume Midas' initial collision with the tree shook some of the apples off the tree before the alchemy took effect). Unfortunately, the cat is transformed into gold as well. Midas, delighted, grabs the stiff tail of the golden cat and lifts it up like a scepter, proclaiming, "It works! It works! Whoopee!"

Midas launches into a giddy dance, holding up his robe like a maidens' skirt (why doesn't his robe turn to gold?), and sings a mindless ditty that seems, much like the first song, shot from the hip in a passionate moment:

The Golden Touch!

The Golden Touch!

The Golden Touch!

The Golden Touch!

La La La La!

La La La La!

La La La La La La La!

Midas touches the flowers, each flower (well, they're golden flowers now) sounding like a tinkly bell in rhythm with the song. He approaches a bird fountain and twirls his finger in the water. Somehow, he is able to twirl the water upward as it turns to gold, creating what looks like a pile of excrement with a curlicue pig tail on top. The birds appraise it like studious art history majors.

He approaches a water fountain, places a hand atop the gushing water, and an avalanche of gold coins spurts out (the visual of this moment, coupled with the sound effect of the coins, reminds one of a big cash payout at a video slot machine). Then he turns the fountain into gold, mid-gush.

Then he turns two pan-flute-playing satyr statues into gold (you begin to feel the creative vitality of this sequence winding down if two boring satyr statues is Walt's idea of a victory lap).

Midas prances through a hallway before approaching a big mirror. Since he is a lonely monarch, he talks to himself. More specifically, he discusses the possibility of turning the whole world into gold. His reflection becomes a separate entity and applauds the king's lofty ambitions (a overused visual gag, but it's fine). The king smiles and gives himself a golden tooth.

After a long morning of touching things, Midas treats himself to a full banquet of food. This scene is the revelatory moment when Midas discovers the foolhardiness of his wish. He attempts to eat grapefruit but as he dips his spoon into the pulp, a stream of coins shoots into his face. Midas takes it in stride at first, affecting an aristocratic manner, using a gold coin as a mock monocle. Peeling back a banana, he gets a pile of coins rather than a sweet fleshy treat. He grabs his goblet. Mouthful of coins,

Midas is starting to get worried. He forks a succulent roast chicken from across the table. Just as his teeth touch the skin, the chicken is now a golden chicken. In petulant frustration, Midas touches all the dishes before flipping the entire table.

(The sound design is also quite interesting: throughout the short, when Midas turns things to gold, there's a tinkly, quavering bell sound that emanates. It's frothy and angelic, echoing Midas' glee at his newfound power. Now, when he's touching all the dishes in the throes of hunger, the sound is more hollow and cacophonous, evoking the gold's now chilly uselessness. When he's biting the gold-plated chicken, it sounds like someone hammering a slab of metal.)

Midas is pulling his hair out and laughing maniacally. He approaches the mirror from earlier and asks his reflection, "Is the richest king in all the world to starve to death?"

His reflection, now a golden skeleton, nods in assent. Frightened, Midas tries to flee the castle. Unfortunately, his long shadow serves as the veil for a giant golden Grim Reaper blocking the door. The sound that comes out of Midas is.....is it possible to call one's frightened gasp 'blood-curdling'? It's a gasp that has 'fatal coronary' written all over it. The skeleton makes a slashing motion across his throat and the king runs away. Probably my favorite moment in any cartoon.

A shaken Midas returns to his treasury and pleads for Goldie to return, all the while crying like a infant. Goldie, indeed, does return, mocking Midas' vanity. Midas begs Goldie to erase "this golden curse". He offers Goldie his entire kingdom for one "hamburger sandwich" (charmingly redundant phrase). A pretty drastic offer: a complete enunciation of all materialism and power, all for a sandwich whose existence would cease after three masticatory cycles of the lower jaw (it takes me three bites to finish a hamburger, a pleasant sight for anyone whose ever eaten in my presence). Being the maniacal sadist that he is, Goldie teasingly asks him, "With or without onions?" Midas says plain is fine. Goldie "toodle-oo's" back into the eighth dimension.

We get a wide shot of the dungeon treasury (if you notice, the desk is not centered in the shot like it was in the opening and the ceiling is way higher. Mainly because it's about to be used in an upcoming match cut where we see the massive dirt pit that was once the treasury, to show the overall scale of the castle's evaporation) as the castle begins to implode. Debris is falling and there's this putrid gold filter that flickers on screen (like a strobe effect) to simulate the implosion. It's not great.

Midas is now standing in an open pit that was formerly the treasury. His kingly robes disappear, replaced by a Depression-era railroad bum outfit with polka-dotted undershirt, striped boxers, and a tin can as a replacement crown. Then, as promised, a hamburger sandwich appears out of thin air. Midas is ecstatic, but hesitant. He slowly and nervously touches the hamburger sandwich (covering his eyes in the hopes that...well, his hopes won't be dashed). It remains a hamburger sandwich. He looks under the bun and exclaims with a toothless smile (the gold tooth is gone...little details do not go unnoticed), "With onions! Whoopee!" Midas voraciously gnaws at his hamburger sandwich. La fin.

So, why is The Golden Touch considered such an ugly duckling in Disney canon?

Backlash towards it, at least from the perspective of the animators, was either a case of expectations being raised too high (considering that Uncle Walt was behind it, you would think it would be the most amazing work of animation to have ever been farted out of that blessed studio), or just plain old schadenfreude (Walt was known to be a prickly pear, so animators rejoiced at this supposed "failure").

I don't have an opinion on what makes The Golden Touch strong or weak from an animation standpoint (I'm not an expert on the finer details of animation). You can't really go wrong with Disney in terms of technical craft, so all I can is say is that I like the animation. It's good....except for that palace destruction sequence.

A common criticism of The Golden Touch are that the characters are unlikable, with Midas being a loud man-child and Goldie being a snide rogue who harbors no sympathy for the king. It's also criticized for not being terribly effective as a fable either, with Midas' redemption hinging not so much on a moral realization of gold's inherent evil, but rather on the self-preservation instinct that starvation inspires in desperate, selfish people. Sure, Midas' hunger for gold is extinguished, but it just ends up being replaced by a different kind of hunger. And judging from his rotund physique, his whole existence is driven not by any sort of human compassion (since there's no one around for him to be compassionate towards), but rather by satiety. You could argue the ending has a Depression-era populist moral, relating to the common man and how to be content with little, but it doesn't seem to point in any hopeful direction in its otherwise hopeless protagonist.

And also, people didn't find it funny (well, Disney shorts were never that funny; they were just clever in a smirky way) and thought it was too long (The Golden Touch is ten minutes long, the longest of the Silly Symphonies). But that's subjective.

And if we want to be shamelessly nitpick-y about it, we could say it barely qualifies as a Silly Symphony. It only has two songs, and they're easily disposable. It leans more on the "silly" than the "symphony" and it falls short of the mark of being both at the same time and that's probably irritating for anyone who is that much of a literalist.

These are understandable criticisms, but they're also rather narrow readings. It's being judged too much through the lens of "meaningful fable" or "typically whole-hearted Disney fare".

The Golden Touch, at least to me, feels more like a farcical condemnation of privileged wealth. Its flippant tone and irreverent disregard for easy morality is more akin to a Warner Bros. cartoon. It doesn't have the same snide mean-spiritedness as Bugs Bunny torturing an opera singer, but there's a noticeable lack of sentimentality, especially compared to other Disney projects. This tonal flippancy can be seen as a failure of intent, but if it is, its unintended effect still works. It felt different from other Disney shorts and probably why I gravitated towards it the most. It had...edge. Well, about as much edge as a butter knife, but relative to other Disney shorts, it manages to draw a pink mark on the studio's lily-white skin.

I like King Midas. Midas is a larger-than-life clown whose childishness and slimy charisma are engaging in a mildly acidic way. This is all due to Norm Ferguson's amusing character design and Billy Bletcher's gargantuan baritone. It's a well-realized interpretation. I can't say the same for Goldie, who is basically a squeaky-voiced dime-store leprechaun with a mischievous countenance, but it's serviceable.

It's enjoyability is also enhanced by its visuals, especially when Midas is turning everything into gold. The golden touch is, obviously, the short's creative weapon and I'm still entranced by its various visual gags. The sequence when Midas is prancing around in his garden has a playful tone that is acerbically contrasted with his casual destruction of nature. The sequence with Midas at his banquet table is funny while also being palpably tense (you cam feel Midas' panicky frustration at not being able to eat).

The ending itself is a pretty bold reimagining of the blandly happy ending that often bookends the Midas myth. It often just ends with Midas learning his lesson and retaining all his worldly goods. In Disney's The Golden Touch, Midas literally loses everything. Sure, it's based on Midas' impulsiveness (he doesn't even think twice about what he's saying when making that fatal deal with Goldie; he's just an mindless animal blurting things out in desperation), but that impulsiveness and recklessness is just punishment for a man who has no business ruling over anybody, or anything for that matter. Uncle Walt is a much harsher critic of Midas than Ovid or Hawthorne ever were.

I also like The Golden Touch simply because I like the dark, suggestive undercurrent of the tale. The myth itself is already bathed in frightening implications. The eerie uniformity of a kingdom glazed in a dull sheen. And not being able to do...anything, let alone eat. It's crippling and isolating and would send even the most stalwart soul into the fetal position.

Granted, The Golden Touch doesn't morosely dip its head into the widening gyre of its scenario. It is ultimately a silly, harmless cartoon at its core, but it's the suggestion of that darkness that matters. It's only a ten minute short and yet, its conveys its world with brisk efficiency and surprising creativity. And though it might not feel wholly satisfying in its brief running time, it managed to fire up my young imagination.

Even its inconsistencies are engaging. Like, when he touches his cloak, why doesn't it turn to gold? When he touches the apple tree, why are some of the apples still red? When he forks the big chicken, why doesn't the chicken turn to gold right there since the chicken is touching the fork that he's holding? Why does the chicken turn to gold when it touches his teeth? Is it implying that other parts of his body have the golden touch? If that's the case, then why don't his slippers turn to gold? This infinite regress of nitpicks, far from being frustrating, are actually tantalizing and fun. It gives the viewer license to wrap their head around the thorny practicalities of having such a curse. Like, I'm just imagining one of Midas' servants (if he has any) dangling from a rope and dropping pieces of chicken into Midas' mouth, in the vain hope that none of the meat turns to gold if it touches his uvula.

Also, I like the golden skeletal specters of death near the end. It's always nice when a cartoon aimed for children reminds me of the finite time I have left.

Would it be trite to compare King Midas to Walt Disney for the purpose of a sassy put-down? Yeah. I'm sure one can't help but make that comparison. Were they both somewhat controlling bastards who got a taste of their own medicine? Sure. But that's just symmetrical poetical thinking.

If anything, I could almost see the short as being self-deprecation on Walt's part, playfully imagining himself the way he thought other people saw him. He purposefully created a demon so others could slay it, and hopefully inspire confidence in his animators to outdo themselves. But that's symmetrical poetical thinking on my part.

The simple honest answer is that Walt Disney sincerely tried to direct a short, and nobody liked it, and he remained wounded about it ever since. But I think ol' Walt might have been a bit hard on himself. The man tried and I think it worked. It was a noble attempt at something different after multiple cartoons tackled such tried-and-true subjects like cats, birds, flowers, trees, mice, pigs, kittens, bunnies, insects, fish, and other assorted nursery rhyme miscellany. Walt tried to tackle the inner darkness of mens' souls, and he did it with the kind of palatable whimsy that we can expect from the man. It's good. I like it.

Now, I will end on my own sassy critic blurb: "The Golden Touch? More like The Silver Touch."

Thank you.

Further Reading

Mythology: Timeless Tales of Gods and Heroes by Edith Hamilton (the classic, go-to source for Greek and Roman mythology, although her section on Midas is listed in the section entitled "The Less Important Myths", which frankly kind of undersells my rigorous, pain-staking scholarship on the subject; how am I to be taken seriously on Tumblr with that kind of attitude, Ms. Hamilton?!?)

The TVTropes page on the Midas Touch provided examples of the myth's impact on pop culture; not an exhaustive list, I imagine, but it definitely answered my persistent queries on whether there have been any substantial adaptations of the myth.

When Walt Laid a Golden Egg by Jim Korkis https://www.mouseplanet.com/10214/When_Walt_Laid_a_Golden_Egg

Lastly, an interesting little article about the history of the short in question.

Any orc headcanons?

Orc Headcanons

Orcs are very sociable. They are a very commit oriented species.

Orcs place high value on marriage. Divorce rarely happens, if ever in orc relationships.

Orcs tend to have a lot of kids.

Male orcs will court through gifts as well as hunting. Male orcs also try to impress their potential partner by showing the amount of battles that they have won.

Female orcs will show they accept the courtship by giving their own gift. This gift may be expensive gems or jewelry. Some gift customized weapons as well.

Orcs hold some traditional values in terms of marriage. They believe that family approval is a must. However, it is not hard to get the blessing of an orc family. Both families both get gifts for the opposite family. Both families also contribute to the wedding. If one family can not afford to contribute, the other family has no problem covering the costs.

Orcs will put a braid in their hair once they reach the age of puberty. They then add metal beads onto said braid to represent battles that they have won. An orc may get beads made of stone/wood/etc. To symbolize a great accomplishment.

It is common for parents to choose a gemstone for their child before they are born to be made into a bead.

Both female and male orcs fight in battles. However, there are more male fighters than female. Female orcs have been known to be the best leaders when it comes to battles.

Orcs have a strong connection to the earth. This makes them more inclined for working with metal and gemstones. 

Long hairs is custom for both male and female orcs. Orcs put a lot of care into their and only cut it if they have to fight in a battle.

Orcs tend to be anywhere from 7-10 feet, but can be either shorter or taller.

Orcs are STRONG. Even an orc that doesn’t train or do physical labor, can be extremely strong.

Orcs are known for their music. Music is often a part of many orc traditions.

Orcs often make weapons and armor for other monsters. Newer orc populations often barter in minotaur markets.

In the past there were a few battles, as well as tension between orcs and minotaurs. Older generations of these parties often still hold resentment or biases against the opposing party. The newer generations no longer hold this rivalry.

Centaurs and Orcs also get along well. They have historically fought battles together. Centaurs get most of their armor from orcs.

The thermal expansion of rare earth permanent magnets and the 20mm diameter neodymium iron boron strong magnetic tension and Gauss value data reference

The thermal expansion and magnetostriction of rare earth permanent magnets will cause the size of the magnet to change to different degrees. If the thermal expansion and contraction of other assembly materials in the magnetic assembly are quite different, this size change will cause a certain stress to the magnet. It may cause mechanical damage or deterioration of the magnet. In the application of large-scale permanent magnet materials, thermal expansion and magnetostriction phenomena need to be given full attention.

Conventional metal and non-metal materials have positive linear expansion coefficients, so there are often sayings of thermal expansion and contraction. For example, the linear expansion coefficients of steel, copper and aluminum are 12 x 10-6/℃, 17 x -6/℃ and 24 x -6/℃. The coefficient of linear expansion of sintered ferrite and sintered samarium-cobalt magnet is within the range of (10~15) x 10-6/℃, which is very close to steel. Therefore, when these two magnets are assembled with iron yoke to produce magnetic components, No need to worry about mismatch caused by thermal expansion. However, the strong magnetocrystalline anisotropy of SmCo and ferrite will cause the thermal expansion coefficient of the sintered magnet that needs to be oriented to also have anisotropy, which is a phenomenon that needs to be considered in the preparation and application of the magnet.

The thermal expansion and contraction behavior of neodymium iron boron magnets is even more strange. At lower than the Curie temperature, the main phase Nd2Fe14B has obvious Invar effect, and the linear expansion coefficient perpendicular to its c-axis is negative, parallel to The linear expansion coefficient in the c-axis direction returns to a positive value after about 70°C lower than the Curie temperature, and the average value of the linear expansion coefficient is 1 x 10-6/°C.

The abnormal thermal expansion of neodymium iron boron magnets stems from the 3d electronic magnetic characteristics of iron atoms. For example, if the magnet is assembled with other materials into magnetic components by bonding, the mismatch during assembly and use is more serious.

20mm diameter neodymium iron boron strong magnetic tension and Gauss value data reference

The 0mm rare earth magnet is a commonly used specification in the market. The shape is mostly round, square, ring, and counterbore. Many customers often inquire about a 20mm diameter round magnet and ask about its attractive force. How many Gauss (gauss), today I have compiled some 20mm magnet tension and Gauss value data for your reference.

Test qualified by jinluncicai.com - rare earth permanent magnet manufacturer and factory.

The following data is for reference only and is subject to actual measurement. Different Gauss meters have different measurement methods and different values ​​of magnetization direction.

Tensile force and Gauss value of a circular magnet with a diameter of 20mm;

N50 performance/D20x1mm: Its magnetic flux reading is 721 Gauss, and its pulling force is 1.44 kg.

N42/20mmx2mm: tensile force is 2.6kg, Gauss value is 1060gs, sliding resistance: 0.5kg

N42/D20*5: Vertical tension is about 7.2kg, sliding resistance: 1.46kg, magnetic field strength is 3200gs.

D20*10mm, N52 performance, surface magnetism is 4600gs, tensile force is 14.8kg.

N42 grade D20*20mm strong magnet: the surface magnetism is 5500gs, and the tensile force is about 15kg.

N35/NI/F20*6*1.5, Gauss is about 1600gs.

N42/nickel/20x20x5mm, the Gauss value is about 2520gs, and the vertical tension is about 7.8kg. A magnet with the same length and width, the thickness of 10mm is about 4050gs, and it cannot reach more than 5000gs

What Are The Factors That Will Be Used In The Scandium Market Research?

What Are The Factors That Will Be Used In The Scandium Market Research?

Scandium is one of the most popular metals for many different uses. For this reason, it is a very good metal to have a scandium market analysis done. Scandium market research gives an idea of what the price of scandium is going to be over the next few months, quarters or even years. It also gives an idea of where the value of scandium is going and what it could do for you.

Many people have scandium all over their house. However, not all of them know what scandium is and what it does. It is one of the most important minerals that people should pay attention to. People should know that scandium is an extremely useful metal and there are several scandium products that they can use. If someone is interested in getting scandium for their home, they should look into a scandium market analysis to determine which scandium products are available and how much they cost.

The scandium market research will take many factors into consideration. These factors include the current prices and where the scandium is coming from. When scandium is mined, it comes from the crust of the earth and is found in the rocks. When scandium is needed, it needs to be shipped away and brought back, which takes time and costs money.

Knowing how much scandium is being mined around the world is important to scandium market analysis. This allows people who mine scandium to know how much they need to get rid of the scandium that they have mined. The scandium market research should take this into consideration as well as how much the people who buy scandium want. Some people want scandium that is rare while other people want more common scandium.

The scandium market research will also take into account how long it takes to get the scandium. If a product is hard to find, it may take a longer amount of time for it to be shipped. This is also why the scandium that is shipped in smaller amounts is usually more expensive than those that are larger in size. The small amounts of scandium can be worth more money because they are harder to find and they are rarer overall.

The scandium market research will also take into account how easy it is to work with scandium minerals. Some are easier to process than others. A process that works well with some scandium minerals is one that uses heat. The smaller crystals will be able to handle high temperatures easier. Larger crystals will not be able to handle the same conditions as quickly as smaller ones. Making sure to look at all of these factors when doing scandium market research is important.

It should also be noted that scandium is not like many other elements where the scandium market research will consider how it affects the environment. There is no study that has been done on how scandium affects the environment. There are some concerns with the use of scandium minerals though. They are known to contain a type of radiation that is potentially harmful to humans if it is inhaled.

The scandium market research that is done will be used to determine what the scandium minerals do and how they can affect people. This scandium market research should also be used to determine what the environmental effects are with scandium and whether or not the use of scandium is beneficial or not. The key thing to take from this scandium market research is that it is essential for anyone who is interested in mining scandium to make sure that they are working with an authentic supplier. By working with a supplier that is not genuine, you run the risk of investing in a product that will not provide the type of results that you want. Make sure to choose a supplier that is certified to work with scandium minerals to ensure that you get true value from every penny that you spend.

Ye Magick Shoppe for 5E

By Dracomortua:

Your players' ship arrives at the docks at last. They go up to the first stevedore or whombler they see and say: 'Excuse me there, hard working fellow - but where is the local magic shop?':

Suddenly this all takes a sharp turn and the DM goes 'Out Of Character': "What? Magic shop?" You kindly explain that there isn't such a thing. Says so right there in the DMG, see? It is impossible for one to exist in a 5e D&D world. Period.

Your sassy players do not give up. Someone points out such shops exist here in reality on Earth, despite having no provable magic. There are even different kinds (lots sell incense and religious stuff, some selling bits o' stone, people may want to stare at your crystal balls and it just goes wild from there). They point out a variant human's feat can give any commoner a bunch of cantrips and one first level spell. So why doesn't anyone own anything enchanted?

This guide gives you RaW self-defense. You can have as many magic shops as you like without breaking any rules. The trick is to put items in them that are interesting, fun and even useful despite the fact that almost nothing is an uncommon or rare magic item.

Table of Contents:

1/ Non-magical items: just like the shops you find in our world, filled with oddities and mystical knick-knacks that don't do much but may be useful as treasure, in lore or even components for your own magic items.

2/ Books & stuff to make books: Everyone who can read wants books. Many ritual casters, some warlocks and all wizards need spell books.

3/ 'Common' magic: how to expand on this short list of magic items.

4/ Why are magic items so hard to buy?

5/ Where your Shoppe is & how to find it.

1/ Curios & Curiosities: non magical items of interest:

1/ - Exotic loot: Furniture made of exotically curving wrought iron, marble with glowing runes inside or exotic shapes and designs around a silver mirror. These things look nifty, keen &/or trendy. Perhaps they have dragon designs in a bed frame, a well carved gargoyle for a working drain spout or anything with nifty (but meaningless) runes on them. Harmless - but artsy! - sometimes more valuable than semi-precious gems. You can make up cool stories about them perhaps...

2/ - Items that relate to legend, lore &/or magical history (possibly containing trace residual magick). Examples: some hero may have used a weapon / armor / shield in a great battle; a great sage may have sent calligraphy (& spell notes!) to a friend; a holy man may have used a wooden spoon in cooking miraculous foods that ended the plague; or a noble sorcerer could have an important signet ring for many decades. Any could be useful for divination, teleportation or even similar related magics.

3/ - Semi-precious gemstones / uncommon yet precious metals: The 1st Ed. 'Gygax'-DMG had a list of 'Repudiated Magical Effects' (pg. 26-27) for each gem-type. Did you know onyx causes discord amongst enemies? Anyway, you can make use of tables like these to make meaningful components for magic items.

4/ - Exotic, esoteric, cult-oriented and religious objects: This is any tool or art-objects used in religions or cults. This includes holy symbols, incense burners, sacrificial-ceremonial weapons and any crystal fonts &/or bottles. This would include Holy Water and other magical equipment.

5/ - Devices used for wizardry, sorcery and thaumaturgy magic (summoning, rituals, etc.) Such as: cauldrons, chalk, blank tablets, various candles or ceremonial daggers. Basically: any spell material-component imaginable.

6/ - Alchemy & accouterments: This includes non-magical potions of chemical potency. Consider: hallucinogens, stimulants, 'thunder stones', acids, explosives and all tools to make them with crude medieval science. More?: quicksilver (mercury), gunpowder, dragon's 'liquid fire' (an early napalm), effective cleaning detergents (like ammonia), exotic salts, beakers, telescopes / microscopes, filtering devices and accurate weigh scales.

7/ - Parts of animals / beasts &/or monsters: These parts or whole creatures bottled / with preservatives (honey and alcohol work without 'formaldehyde') - or dried, shrunken, stuffed or magically preserved. These parts may even be skeleton parts or even stuffed-mutilated versions of the original. Non-magical 'monstrous' examples: shrunken goblin heads, preserved stirge in a bottle, an ogre skull or some wyvern scales. Many mages are keen to have a stuffed alligator hanging in their study, yet no one knows why.

8/ - Adventuring gear that looks cool and maybe does something vaguely magical: pick almost anything from the player equipment list. Stick a few runes on it, add some special materials, have player's hands tingle when they touch it and WHAMMO you can put it in Ye Marvelous Magick Mysteries store. Seriously. Players want to fall for this. A Pike of Pointing (it points at stuff on its own... somewhat). Or Magical Toilet Paper, which is self-rewashing silk. Eew.

2/ Spell Books & Other Bookish Accoutrements:

1/ - Inks, normal & exotic: Actually, even 'normal' inks can be expensive. Colored inks & dyes are typically purchased by the nobility for writing, though this was most often used for clothing. Actual pseudo-magical ink used for writing magical scrolls (for any class) or even 'non-magical' wizard books need some rather rare stuff.

2/ - Paper: thin skin like vellum or parchment, pressed plants like hemp or even traditional paper from trees. Pages need to be formed and cut, threaded and bound. The actual binding and cover may have waterproofing from as simple as oil-wax to special wards to keep your information &/or spells safe. You can add such things to the above lists: inkwells, feather-quills from various beasts or monsters, ink blots, signet rings, waxes for seals, and more.

3/ - Documented & 'non magical' wizard spells, books & scrolls: Where the market for low end spells must be huge, those above 3rd level are nearly impossible to find. Both cantrips (for training students) and first level spells are easily acquired however (and commonly traded). Consider that even the dimmest mage has a listing of three cantrips and four First Level / Circle spells.

4/ - Special binding, protection &/or traps for your books, lair & abode: Mostly non-magical - but still fun! Water proofing, fire resistant materials (asbestos is considered alchemical component), self-exploding materials, simple traps and hidden compartments. Magical wards of a weak variety ('touch this gem on the cover and it rings three notes, just like a chime...') are easy to make with Magic Mouth and won't break your campaign. Also, sealed metal covers with interesting locks - surviving everything shy of a Fireball.

5/ - Various non-magical and random books: Literacy in medieval times was RARE ( though not so much in D&D - even barbarians can read) so books were considered pretty exotic-mysterious. So the romantic exploits of a famous enchanter-vizier would typically be useless - but still fetch a good price.

6/ - Plot building / hook-style books: Any topic you wish to entertain your player group! 'Dragon Watching For Beginners', 'Tales of Five Fine Feathered Bards, A Kenku Troupe', 'Carving Wands In Your Own Home!', 'Butchering Trolls: The Food That Keeps On Giving', 'Exotic Dances of the Succubi', 'Legends of <hero name> and His Kingdom of <place name>', 'Know Your Runes: Guide To Reading Magicks'. If you are interested we can generate a list of dozens of those quasi-semi-magical books... just let us know?

Almost Magical Things & Magic Item Parts:

1/ - Components for making magic items: these things either make such enchantments possible or at least reduce time &/or costs required. This can be virtually anything from strange substances (meteor metals) to parts of any monster. The study desk used by an arch mage that now has runes that crawl and dance around its magical wood. An ornate bottle filled with dragon's blood. A scroll or small book listing of (possibly true?) demon names, may contain partial or complete pictures of such creatures in their natural state. A sprig of Magewood that still grows in its pot (albeit slowly). An ingot of Mithril. Gold, enchanted by the blessing of an angel (still glows very slightly). A petrified eye of a basilisk. You name it, it is cool... but it is only faintly magical.

2/ - Valuable lore: these are more than just books on trivia as mentioned above. This should reduce costs of researching existing or new spells / items.

3/ - Plans, schematics, designs &/or construction-lists for any real magical item. These formulas can be very expensive yet are completely non magical. As a DM you can make the materials as rare-expensive-complicated as you like to get players out questing.

4/ - Long-lasting spells: True that there is no longer a Permanency spell in 5e - but lots can be built with this list of long-lasting spells. If a permanent spell is fixed in one location it is not sold in a magic shop but rather presented to your party as lore, below. Also consider magical beings can be bound via contracts or special items. These papers or amulets are typically non-magical but are very valuable. Example of this include: a demon's amulet, a conditional contract for someone's soul, etc.

5/ Actual Magical Magic Things: Consider 'common' magic items (and rarely 'uncommon' - if you are so brave). 

Scrolls: cantrip and 1st level are easily found on equipment lists. Players needing ritual &/or wizard spells of 1st or even 2nd may find it in this shoppe.

Potions: The 'common' Cure Wounds is standard equipment. Also interesting: Climbing is listed as 'common' and as easily acquired as such healing devices. You can (harmlessly) sell potions that buff any ability. Now you too can get clever on with that Elixir of Blacksmithing to fix that broken magic shield or whatever.

Plot-reasons: why are those REAL magic items so hard to find-buy:

1/ Magic items bend and twist the reality around them: Just as legendary monsters have their lair and surrounding area epic effects, so too can magic items manipulate their environment. If anyone can buy a magic item then it wants to be found. Typically finding (and keeping) any item pends on legend, prophecy, karma, scheming of heroes, will of gods, plans of heritage spirits or what-have-you. Rarely it can seem to be pure stupid luck. Smart players should be rightly suspicious if they get an item without any trouble.

2/ Magic items actually don't do much: From the commoner trying to plant crops to the noble attempting to reduce corruption or build an army, magic items don't help much. For example, a +1 sword really only has one application: cutting foes. Thus +1 scissors or a +2 printing press could be far more relevant & useful.

3/ Magic items cost much more than their production value. Most magic items do not do much. Example: a fighter with a +1 shield is a wee bit better off than a normal shield and chain - but upgrading armour to plate makes a far greater difference.

4/ Mystery: It is possible that people's minds easily forget legends or even make up stories of their own.

Places to hide (or not hide) your Magick Shoppe

1/ - Dedicated shop out in the open - like any other retail outlet:

Magic shops in our world want to be found. This makes it useful but it does take away some of the charm.

2/ - Normal shop that is typically for something common:

You go to a blacksmith for weapons. Why would any enchanted weapon NOT be at a blacksmith's shop? He can vouch for the authenticity and structural soundness in a way that any other vendor might not be able to.

3/ - Back Alley a.k.a. Diagon Alley of sorts:

It would make sense that the reclusive wizarding types have their own hermetically sealed area of business. If so, Rowling rightly points out, all sorts of things quasi-magical would be sold there (for better or worse). She makes a point of having a separate store for each magical component ('buy your fuzzy creature / familiar' or 'get a wand' or 'get your magical text books for school'). Remember these stores do not have to carry too much: lots can be done safely with cantrips, feats and hedge wizards.

4/ - That Mysterious Vanishing Shop:

This one makes a lot of sense if you put in anything that is actually magical. Instead of your party just popping in for a dozen Healing Potions and six new 2nd level scrolls (for the wizard) before going back into the dungeon, you hide it up your trusty DM sleeve. Upside: easy plot hook. Downside: feels a bit railroady as it only shows up when you want it to. Recent compromise in this sub-Reddit: [you can give characters a key to get back to this shop]()

Thanks for reading. Now you too can go on and fearlessly put a magic store in your world - and now you can fill it with interesting and fun items. Good luck and please let us know how it worked out.

Scandium Oxide Market is Expected to Reach US$ 182.3 Million by 2027

Rising demand for aluminum-scandium alloys in the aerospace and defense industry is anticipated to drive the scandium oxide market growth in the near future

The Global Scandium Oxide Market was valued at US$ 91.8 Mn in 2020 and is expected to reach US$ 182.3 Mn by 2027 and is expanding at a CAGR of 12.1% during the forecast period.

Scandium oxide is most commonly utilized in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) and scandium-aluminum alloys. SOFCs are a significant use of scandium. Scandium oxide costs are also impacted by quality, with 99.9% or greater grades indicating the highest purity, which is necessary for electrical applications but not alloy applications. The pollutants type also matters, while the selection of alloys, some are more troublesome than others in specific applications.  The use of aluminum scandium alloys in various end use industries such as aerospace is expected to drive the global scandium oxide market growth.

Additionally, the Al-Scandium alloy, provides with characteristics such as better grain refinement, super plasticity, and precipitation hardening, corrosion resistance. Recrystallization is avoided, since most high-strength and precipitation hardenable aluminum alloys are solution-heated at temperatures considerably above their recrystallization temperatures, transition metals such as zirconium, chromium, manganese, vanadium, or titanium are ineffective at preventing recrystallization. These characteristics of scandium-aluminum alloy which can be utilized by automotive industry. All these factors mentioned above are expected to drive the global scandium oxide market growth during the forecast period.
