WALT: THE MAN BEHIND THE MYTH (VHS Release USA 2002)

Ben Meyers’ rating: 4.6|5.0 Starsìììì

Walt: The Man Behind the Myth—real entertainment value—tells a more thorough story than Walt Before Mickey. Good to see increased archival footage of Walt Disney and his brother Roy than some documentaries show. Using Dick Van Dyke to narrate absolutely enhances the pleasing delivery of the biographical information. This film was exclusively featured on the Wonderful World of Disney TV Show in 2001.
