A little help please? :)

Does anybody know of any good articles or books that talk about how Walt Disney is an important figure in history or even in our society today? I have a few sources but I want to make sure that there isn't anything better out there. I'm looking more away from his biographies, but if you had a good passage from any of them and care to share I'd love to see if you found something I didn't!

The topic itself is " The most important person you could ever meet is " Walt Disney." And I am explaining why that is...

Sorry, I don't, but have you tried posting this question on the Rumours Forum -- they seem to know a lot of things like this over there. Lots of things like advances in technology, visions of society, etc.

But then, you'd probably be starting a thread that could be well over 20 pages long.

Good luck with this one. My youngest did this last year and had a hard time with it.
She's in bed or I would ask what she ended up with.

The historical significance was the hard part. She had in mind people like Lincoln, Ghandi, Martin Luther King, etc. I had to remind her Walt Disney had his own significance. She just had to figure it out and find a way to explain it to others.

Maybe you could make a nod to the history of Orlando, and how Walt Disney and Disney World helped shape the city today?

Thanks for all of the replies guys! It's been really helpful and I really appreciate it. I'm supposed to be at the library searching for more information but I am feeling awful right now so hopefully I can get there before it closes tonight to pick up more books on Walt Disney.

I'm not sure how much help this is, but I just asked my daughter about where she found her information and she told me online and in books. She said there is quite a lot of information about him and it should be pretty easy.

I did however interrupt her conversation with her boyfriend,
