[hamlin81]

I'm very interested in reading a biography on Walt Disney. Can anyone recommend a good one?

Thanks so much

I really liked Walt Disney: An American Original by Bob Thomas. I think this is the one they sell in the parks, but I got my copy from Amazon.

I've just finished Walter Disney: Triumph of the American Imagination. The best book i've ever read.

You might also be interested in renting the documentary "Walt Disney: The Man Behind the Myth". You'll find it on Netflix. Also check out YouTube for "Walt Disney: Secret Lives". Here is part one:

Here are two more that haven't been mentioned. The second book is actually a companion piece to the "Walt Disney: The Man Behind the Myth" documentary.

This is a pretty good book (it's actually called "Walt Disney: Triumph of the American Imagination"). I can recommend this one, too -- although I think the author hurries through Walt's final years a bit. It's still a very good read, though (but it's not even close to the best book I've ever read).

I have read quite a few, including the ones PP's have mentioned, but I really liked "The Man Behind the Magic" by Katherine and Richard Greene best.
