PBS's American Experience produced another good one, and this one is a two-parter! Walt Disney, the biographical documentary, covers the entire subject of Walt Disney and goes very deep into his life, processes and motivations. Honestly, I didn't think Walt Disney the person would be intriguing enough to warrant a two-part documentary, but I was pleasantly surprised by the amount of captivating information and archival matter.
My favorite facts learned were 1. Walt Disney Company used to be Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio. Walt and his brother Roy ran the company together. That's awesome since you always hear about people parting ways because they're "heading in different directions" or something like that. 2. Many of Walt's ideas were often a creative way for him to relive part of his childhood, especially the time spent in the town of Marceline, MO.
I'm giving this three stars *** because I think it was really well produced, entertaining and I would watch it again and again.
