It’s blocked in my region sadly

I’m not sure if you’re able to access it, but PBS.org hast he entire documentary available for viewing for a limited time.

I agree that it was rather well done–even better than I was willing to hope. My only real quibble is that the negative aspects, which were all true to the best of my knowledge, were sometimes emphasized without some of the qualifications that I’m aware of. But that’s nicely balanced with sections that played up just how genuine Walt’s passion and drive were. In short, they amped things up just a little bit, but what’s important is that the end effect is that Walt truly came across as a real person, even to casual viewers I’d imagine–larger than life compared to the rest of us, to be sure, but sympathetic even in his foibles and surprisingly (well, not to me, but I mean in general) relatable. It was his failings as much as his genius that allowed him to create what he did, which makes this a very human story, and hopefully those creations themselves will seem more real to those who watched this program.

This is so refreshing compared to how so many Disney (and especially Disneyland) “fans” these days keep cynically reiterating that Walt was a shrewd and cunning businessman, as though he were P.T. Barnum or something, when the truth is that the man himself was in most respects anything but that. If he’s such a phony, then why are they fans? At least those who do actual research into his life and work–like the people who made this program–know better, and hopefully a decent number of viewers now do, too.

Haha I have school tomorrow to but hey I’ll take the risk ?. 33 mins till showtime!
