walt the man behind the myth | Year: 2001 Classification: Documentary Directed: - Jean-Pierre Isbouts A LONG OVER DUE FILM BIOGRAPHY OF WALT DISNEY WALT: THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTH is a warm, entertaining, and fascinating look at both the public and private life of one of the greatest show-business men of the 20th Century....a man who is still influencing our world today. The never before released photos and film footage alone make this a "must" purchase. If the production has one fault, it may be that it leaves the viewer wanting more such glimpses into the life of Walt Disney. A great companion video would be THE HAND BEHIND THE MOUSE: THE UB IWERKS STORY. The touching and definitive story about Walt Disney I am a Disney fan plain and simple. I grew up watching "The Wonderful World of Disney", going to Disneyland more than six times in my life and visiting Walt Disney World once. I buy Disney DVD's and other products from the Disney line. However, I knew a little about the man who created the "magic" and after viewing this outstanding DVD about the life of Walt Disney, I feel like I know him so much more. This is an account about the life and thoughts of the man who created a world where people are more happier today because of the dreams shared by Walt Disney. The film begins with Walt's childhood in Missouri and California. There are family films that are shown for the first time with the permission of the Disney family that show the love and warmth not only of Walt, but of his family and friends. The film also tells about his early workings in creating cartoon characters, working and paying his dues in the entertainment industry of the 1920's and finally with a bold stroke, creating his own studio where Walt could finally create much of the magic that we enjoy today. The film also tells about the work and creation that went into full length animated movies such as "Snow White", "Bambi", "Pinnochio", and other classic masterpieces. Also shown is the vision that led to the construction of Disneyland and Walt's final dream...Epcot Center. The film also has moving interviews with intimate Disney family members such as Walt and Lillian's daughter Diane, grandson Walt Elias Disney Miller, grandaughters, grandnieces and grandnephews. Close family friends such as Art Linkletter, Dean Jones, Ray Bradberry, and the late Buddy Epsen are interviewed as well as early live Disney stars such as Dean Jones. Each give a wonderful insight into Walt Disney and all still show loving devotion to him even 37 years after his death. Walt Disney definitely made the world a better place to live him and we can thank him for giving us a magical place to escape to everyday by watching the films, going to the amusement parks and so much more, because of his magical immagination. Every Disney fan will enjoy watching this DVD over and over again. Very highly recommended!! DVD Review I bought this DVD at Disneyland in the summer of 2003. At the time I was told by the sales clerk that the DVD was absolutely amazing. I didn't put much stock into what he said as he worked for Disney but when I got home and had the chance to watch it I was absolutely amazed at how good it was! It is a very well produced "inside" story on Walt's life and work. The DVD includes interviews with many people who worked with him as well as never released family videos. It is so good that I have watched it several times and come away feeling inspired each time. If you like Disneyland/Disneyworld then you will be more than pleased with this purchase (there are lots of goodies on it for the big Disney fan).
