The music playing as part of the cartoon Tony is watching also accompanies her bat withdrawal perfectly, creating a slapstick soundtrack for an ominous moment. Key Disney/Warner Bros. device: paradoxical timings  that waver between nightmare and comedy. Again using the visual metaphor (unseen animation) to subconsciously bridge-merge genres. A Louisville Slugger, an American iconic ball game/tool now weapon. The Disney-Warner Bros. animation references now inhabit the adults, blending archetypes (Big Bad Wolf vs. Olive Oyl) and time distortion for a genre bending futurism. Kubrick is suggesting the ghosts are already animations of archetypes (like the stickers on Danny's walls in Boulder coming to life) with movements that are mechanical, lifeless, yet they seem real. Torrances enter the hotel and become animated archetypes. These spectral beings are animations of the hotel and behave, strangely, eeirily, within the Disney rulebook.
