Description:
From Mickey Mouse to MARY POPPINS to Disneyland and beyond, Walt Disney touched the hearts of millions with his special brand of magic. In this revealing portrait, you'll discover the man behind the myth as never before. Inspired by daughter Diane Disney Miller and hosted by Disney legend Dick Van Dyke, the film features all-new interviews with friends, family, collaborators, and experts plus never-before-seen home movies. Through good times and bad, including a brush with bankruptcy during World War II, Walt remained a driven innovator and perfectionist behind studio gates and devoted family man at home. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of his birth, WALT: THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTH offers the most intimate look yet at the man whose legacy continues to inspire the world.
Amazon.com:
Dick Van Dyke (Mary Poppins) narrates this made-for-TV special, which focuses on the high points in Walt Disney's life and career. Over 70 friends, relatives, and associates were interviewed. Critics, however, weren't given much of a chance to have their say, which prevents Walt from presenting a fully rounded picture. Fortunately, this two-hour story of the great man's rise--and rise--makes for compelling viewing anyway. It doesn't merely cover his work, but personal life, as well. Milestones, such as his marriage, are brought to life using footage from a copious home movie collection. Furthermore, a few Disney animators do mention some of the great man's more negative traits, such as his legendary toughness, but such criticisms are passed over quickly. Smaller viewers may find it boring, but Disney fans 10 and older are sure to be riveted by this fascinating man's life story. --Kathleen C. Fennessy

Rating:  - Great book
We are Disney fans and buy just about anything in print related to Disneyworld or Walt Disney. This book is a great read. My 11 year old son actually requested this book to do his final book project at school this year. They had to dress up and portray the person in the book, so my son slicked his hair back, donned a mustache and suit, and gave his presentation. Because the book was so full of information and facts new to my son, he was enthusiastic to share the information with his class. My husband ... Read More
Rating: - Walt Disney DVD
This was a fascinating film, I knew nothing of Walt Disney before watching this, and now I feel I have a little knowledge of this great man. I think it was superbly produced and would recommend this to anyone wanting to learn about him and his empire.
Rating:  - If You Are a Disney Fan, Don't Myth This DVD
This is must-have if you live for Disney. We really like the mouse, but everyone should watch this once if even if you are not a Mickey fan. Rent it, but don't buy if you aren't. If you like Disney movies, Disneyland, and buy anything if it has Mickey Mouse painted on it, then you'll have to buy this and watch it over and over.

Rating: - One of my favorite DVD's about my biggest role model
Walt- The Man Behind the Myth is an outstanding DVD for anybody wishing to learn more of Walt or Disney history. The film follows Walt's life well and shows a generous amount of never before seen footage. Walt was a private man at home so it's exciting to see a better look into his family life. The film received a lot of input and work done by Walt's only surviving daughter (Diane Disney Miller) and his grandson (Walter Elias Disney Miller). The documentary contains interviews with the people that knew ... Read More
