jeffathome This isn't so much of a review as a correction. Correction of a mistake the writers and creative people behind the film never should have made.Walt and anyone that knew Walt would never say he came from "Kansas." Walt's character says more than once in the movie "I should return to Kansas." or "I had the same problem in Kansas." Walt would say Missouri. He lived and worked in Kansas City, MISSOURI, never Kansas. Someone from Missouri (as Walt was) would never go to Kansas City, Missouri and later just because the Missouri City has " Kansas" in it's name call it.. Kansas. There was and is a Kansas City Kansas. It is and was very small compared to Kansas City, Missouri. KC, Kansas is a bedroom community on the most part. A Missourian would never say they were from Kansas. As far as those of us in Kansas City, Missouri, we know it's the best city that is and all we need to make Missouri better is an ocean. Let's dig up Kansas and make one.

Michael Ledo The film starts out with Walt as a youth being discouraged, being discouraged as an adult and ends with the creation of our second title character. This is "the Disney version" of his life sanitized for our protection. His interesting period as a WWI ambulance and truck driver was only mentioned. There was never any mention of infamous AWOL incident which spurred a famous urban legend I believed as a kid growing up. We see Disney (Thomas Ian Nicholas) as the world's worst business manager, forgetting to factor in things like "profit" when making a deal. The acting was not great and having Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) play his brother Roy was a total miscast. It was like watching when he ran Pedro's campaign.This is a family friendly film one that teaches perseverance no matter how wild your dreams are or who tells you no or who you have to borrow from, or how many bad checks you write, or how often you don't pay your rent...and the art of leaving town when you have a lot of bills.Yes, I liked it, but it could have been far better.

husby-91 After watching this movie, I have very mixed feelings. A part of me loved the movie for its story and the atmosphere. The other part of me is disappointed because I don't feel like it fulfilled its true potential. Many of the characters felt shallow and without depth, and the actors were just acting. There wasn't too much feeling in their performances, and the dialogue never felt natural or relaxed.But to be honest, I'd easily watch it again. I don't know why, I just didn't think it was THAT bad. Many people put a lot of hours and hard work behind this movie, the least I can do is try to appreciate it for what it is and see the positive sides of it.

ajoyful It was somewhat interesting to learn of the struggles Walt Disney went through in his early life.It made me want to read more about the story.They made some interesting choices with casting.It's always good to learn about how people struggle before they become famous.Wholesome story.The sets and costumes looked very realistic for the vintage times.I learned quite a bit watching the movie.It would be nice to see a follow up movie and take up where they left off.I liked watching a good moral story such as this.
