Weird connection between Walt Disney and Barcelona

This is a weird theory of mine that has absolutely no factual bases, so don't read allot into it.

It all started when I was doing research for our last studio project on La Parc de la Ciutadella here in Barcelona and noticed that there is a monument to Walt Disney in a corner of the park, which for the most part only has monuments to mayors, generals and other important people to the history of the city.
Perhaps it is because I grew up watching the Little Mermaid, but The Sagrada Familia has always reminded me of Tritan's Palace that the Little Mermaid lives in.

I don't know if it is because both include organic curves and structural systems that seam impossible, but the two have always shared some magical quality to me.

The same is true about the Cathedral on the top of Mount Tibidabo. From the first night we were in our apartment we were calling it Cinderella's Castle because we can see it from our balconies and windows lit up majestically at night on the top of the mountain. Over Spring break we finally made it up to the Cathedral, which during the day and up close doesn't look like much. It's definitely not the best Cathedral in Barcelona, but it too has magical qualities.


So maybe these are just the architectural observations of someone who never grew up, but who would want to do that. I want to stay an undergrad in Barcelona forever.
