Entertainment,who has yet to release the series onto DVD! the musical theme to the series was preformed by an unknown group of lads,to be known as
      "The Osmond Brothers",as in Donnie Osmond,and his brothers,a decade before they hit the music charts in the early 1970s,with such tunes,as "Sweet and Innocent",and
      eventually hitting it bigger by the later half of that decade! by that same time,Kurt Russell had already established himself past the Disney movies!

    Walt Disney was a man of his time, he's been accused of racism, antisemitism, sexism and many other descriptions. But the reality is that the average person from that period could be accused of the same thing. It doesn't mean we have to agree with it or like it, especially now with our more advanced ideals, but atleast we can recognize that Disney was a visionary who created worlds and characters that enchanted us in childhood and posses a special place in the hearts of millions of people. Stop bitching about his failings as a human compared to our modern standards and enjoy what he has created. It isn't fair to compare him to our ideas of PC. It is, however, fair to judge how his stories have held up over time. And I think that his stories, and those of the studio he created, are timeless and unforgettable. So enjoy Disney's work for what it was and is, and leave your judgement behind, because it's not relevant or helpful.

And as much as i love Disneyland, i find Walt's attitude hurtful, especially since racism,mainly against African-Americans, thrives! They are a people who have, and ARE vehemently sinned against! And Americans attitude toward racism and discrimination is" Believe what we tell you, and NOT what you see with your own eyes!" Shameful! Racists WILL reap what they sew! GOD says so! If Walt had loved his fellow man as GOD commands, he may hav lived longer, despite his chain-smoking!

      i often think the same overall i think he would be pleased he would find Pixar very intresting and would be very curios over the technology they have to offer and would be pleased that they aquired that, he would of loved the disney Renasciance with all those classics coming out such as Beauty and the beast, Lion King ,Aladdin ect he would also be pleased about the disney revival as i call it with Tangled and Frozen i don't think he would be pleased thou that disney has basically abanoned traditonal animation i think he would love CGI but he knows that Traditonal animation also plays a big part , he would be dissapointed about what Epcot became and the Disney Channel he would hate , he would hate how Micky Mouse in Micky Mouse clubhouse is just a toddler show and embarrased by alot of the actors that have come out of Disney Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus,Shia LaBeouf also the shows they produce i'm not shore how he would think of the accusations of Marvel or Lucasfilms i think he would be pleased Maker STudios he would defintley be getting into the growing media on RUclips would be something he see's that should be done, he would see Dreamworks and Anime as big rivals, he would of enjoyed who framed Roger Rabit while his rivals charatcers were there he would realise how much of an impact it would be too see Micky Mouse and Bugs Bunny on screen and how it would thrill many children, he would like the Disney Parks around the world as well and glad they have been a success.

      I have to agree with you on most of what you said, I'm guessing he would be quite disappointed with the disney channel turning more into a teenage channel, and i'm sure he would be proud that disney is making three more starwars movies but I don't think he would know much about them since I'm guessing starwars came out in the 80's, but anyhow he would be majorly disgusted with some of the former teen actors who worked on Disney Channel mostly including Miley cyrus , but overall he would be very proud with his company today and I'm sure he is now watching from the heavens, but he would be terrified of the suicide mouse creepypasta.

    Walt Disney was an absolutely wonderful person with the biggest, and kindest heart, if only people knew the risks of smoking then what we thankfully do today, Disney had lung cancer from smoking, a young 65 I know people in perfect health at 95, life expectancy if a person takes really good care of themselves is increasing dramatically which is very positive. Health is true wealth.

    • @nukemanmd
      @nukemanmd 7 лет назад +7

      Actually, the potential risks of smoking were common knowledge years before. It wasn't until the 1966 that the government started requiring warnings on packs of cigarettes. But, that occurred long after the risk became known. I remember hearing reports about the risks of smoking in the late 50s. My dad, a physician, used to bring home articles on the subject in an effort to convince my mother (a very light smoker) and her mother (a heavy smoker) to quit. My mom did, but my grandmother didn't.
      And it is true that the tobacco companies had been long aware of the hazards, and had been fighting the labeling required for years before they were mandated. They still continue to deny that cigarettes are addictive or unhealthy.l
      Notwithstanding the well documented risk of smoking, people still smoke, and kids are starting up daily. When you are young, you feel invincible and refuse to believe that smoking is harmful. That's why the tobacco companies like to start them young.
      Smoking is such an addictive habit, that it is unlikely that a heavy smoker like Disney would have stopped. It also bring to mind Johnny Carson who, while fully aware of the risks, continued to smoke ... ultimately dying from emphysema.

      What's weirder is that the person you see here and his iconic personality is for the most part an act. Walt was a very introverted, shy and sadly self-depricating man with self-esteem issues. Since he was Walt goddamn Disney though, he built a far more outgoing persona for his public appearances. May also explain why he smoked his entire life which was eventually what killed him. The man himself identified as two people; Walter Disney the shy businessman and Walt Disney the outgoing caring tycoon. Very kind man though even with his more negative traits. Not a man to give much praise beyond "that'll do" but very generous with raises.

    I am not sure if it's just Walt, or just the way things were done back then, but I love how much personalisation went into the annoucement of a new film. It's almost like a teacher telling children of a new fun lessen, or a business owner informing his staff over a new change that he is excited about.
    There is so much passion and pride when he speaks of his film project. It is completely contagious, and you are excited along with him. His heart and soul was in everything he did.

    I recall the occasion when I learned that Walt Disney had died; I was a ten year old in the schoolyard of a Burbank school (Disney died in St. Joseph's Hospital, a few miles down Buena Vista St. - my father died there seventeen years later). A teacher had told us. I recall feeling bereft - the man who was behind Disneyland, one of my favorite places in the world? I said something about how sad it was, and a kid said, "Whattaya gonna do - cry?" I recall thinking, "Hasn't this kid ever been to Disneyland?"

      Not when the cast members actually act like they appreciate my jokes. Just got back from DW last week. I spontaneously said to a woman selling fans, that those fans are --- cool. She replied, "Very punny, mister."
      I was also on the wrong side of a white line and a cast member pointed out that I needed to be on the other side of the line. I said that I noticed the line and thought there was a 50/50 chance I was supposed to be on the side I was on - guess I was wrong. She laughed.
      In Sleeping Beauty's Castle a cast member was telling someone they had to go to a bibbity bobbity room or something. I stopped and said the bibbitity bibboity bobbity ...? She tried to help me, bibbity bobbity - I interrupted, you mean the bibbitity bobbitity bibbity bibbity bibbity... oh... She then finished what I was trying to say. I finally just said, "easy for you to say" - she laughed. Was fun to play along with them. Hope they appreciated some of my humor as well.
      One of the few theme parks anymore where you can still bring in your own food and drinks (little known fact - just let security know!). My 2.5 yr old who was clueless to many of the characters (no longer!) loved it.
      I think Disney would love the current state of Disneyworld, at least the Magic Kingdom which is best for my child's age from what I have heard.

    Everyone is talking about how they wonder if Walt would be disappointed with how Disney is now but what lead me to find this video is actually the opposite. I can't help what Walt would think about how big Disney has become. It grew greatly in his time but it has become even greater. Disney resonates deep within in so many of us, I wonder what he would think of generations being Disney lovers. Many of us ( I know not all) are taken back and in a moment of awe when we hear the old Disney songs. We feel warm and happy thinking about it. Even if there are things that he may not agree with I imagine he'd be in more amazement of what "Disney" has accomplished.

    I remember when he passed away and we we got out of school early and my bus driver cried the whole time. He was a great man and going to see a Disney movie wasn't an outing - it was an event that was highly anticipated. Based on what I have heard him say the reason he wanted his best films released only every seven years was so that the quality would not diminish and that person would see the same picture differently as they got older and appreciate it more. I believe he was right because now that everything is mass marketed it gets old quickly. The same concept made Elvis so famous because he didn't do talk shows & wasn"t constantly seen in public which made the mystery of him more appealing. I would love to see the Disney classics back on the big screen again!

    I was born in Southern California in 1965. I grew up watching the wonderful world of Disney every Sunday night and watching Walt Disney talk about different subjects. As far as I knew he was alive. I went to a Catholic school for a few years when I was in fifth grade so that would be around 1975. At the time we went to a field trip at Forest lawn cemetery to see the stain glass window of the last supper. Some friends of mine and myself ventured outside and poked around and looked at some other graves and I stumbled across Walt Disney’s grave. I was actually very surprised that he was deceased. but found out later that he was and had been for most of my life. I guess that’s the magic.

    Sacrificing the wholesome, family values they've been known for all these years just to be "woke" & "with it"

I can see why....it was WAY too long at three hours. it was a period piece (set in 1914), so the budget was tremendous. And it had too many songs...none of them memorable. They seem to break into song about every 15 min or so. But it had truly xlnt performances by a very talented cast....especially Tommy Steele, Lesley Ann Downs and Fred MacMurray.
