Mon 9/17/2001 10:45p | What a great show. What can I say, it was wonderful, and a real tear-jerker. I still get choked up thinking about even today. Thank you Diane Disney Miller.
What I would really like to see in a DVD version is much longer interviews with the people who new Walt personally. I bet those full interviews are simply fascinating, and I would love to see them all someday. Also more footage and information about EPCOT and Disneyland. |

I loved the show. The old home movies were an absolute treat, but it was much too short. I suppose four hours would have been to much for the general public, but a truely comprehensive story of Waly Disney's career would require at least that much.
And for me the show came just in time.
I needed something from my TV that I could really feel good about. |

Tue 9/18/2001 5:14a | I was also thinking how interesting it would be to see some of those interviews and videos full length. I cant count the times I have seen parts of the EPCOT?WDW video and the interview with Walt sitting in the chair. I would love to see them in full.
Walt died of complications from lung cancer. |

Tue 9/18/2001 7:57a | SJHYM, thank you for the information. Lung cancer? Was Mr. Disney a smoker? |

Tue 9/18/2001 8:23a | Walt was a heavy smoker...one of his top animators called Walt a walking ash tray.
This was a wonderful show about Walt and I do hope that it is made available on DVD or video. It made it very apparent to me how much the public lost when he passed away.
Much thanks to Diane Miller and The Disney family for making this film possible. |

Wed 9/19/2001 9:22a | I missed it! The VCR was set, but our cable provider was having problems that evening... I recorded 'static'! :-(
If anyone has this on tape, and could make me a high quality copy, please email me. I would pay for the tape, shipping, etc.
I know that there's word of this coming out on DVD later, but after hearing about how wonderful it was, I'd like to see it asap!
Thanks in advance,

Tue 9/25/2001 4:10p | When the show got to the Snow White section, the narrator (Dick) said that Snow White was not the first animated feature film. He said there had been 2 in South America & 1 in Europe. I've never heard anything about this before. Anybody know more about these films? Were they a live-action/animation mix?
