Overview: I sat down and watched all 4 hours of the American Experience: Walt Disney, and I provide something that is part review, and part my thoughts about what I saw and heard. I find the man to be complicated and pretty interesting. As I note in the podcast, he was larger than life and that really shines through the production. But he also was very family oriented and considered people who worked for him as such - making his life as the head of a company bearing his name....complicated.
Notes: You can watch a preview, order a DVD, or learn more about the show by visiting the PBS website.
And if you want to read more, Slate did a nice piece about the show.
