"Walt- The Man Behind the Myth"

My parents recorded it for me when it was on so I could watch it.

I caught the last few minutes of it when they were watching it, but I haven't seen the whole thing yet. I want to soon!

According to CNBC's website, it's on tonight at 8:00 PM, but I just checked my listings and nada.

ETA: Ahhhh, times are in EASTERN TIME. Guess I read this thread just a bit too late

If anyone missed "Walt, The Man Behind the Myth" it is available through NetFlix by DVD.


For everyone who saw what did you think? Had you read the book too?

It's a book too? Is it also called "Walt, The Man Behind the Myth"?

I've been meaning to look around for a book based on him for awhile, but I haven't gotten around to it. If anyone has any recommendations, send them my way please!

No it's not of the same title. However two of the movies writers, the Greenes, have written a few biographys on Walt. The Movie plays a lot like thier book "Inside the Dream The Personal Story of Walt Disney"

Of course being that they are biographies of the same person you can find the same exact information in many books.


I'd suggest reading an official book and unofficial book on Disney. For the most part they are all the same in either column. If it's official it uses information that Disney the corporation owns and has been edited or approved by Disney. If it's unofficial it doesn't have access to Disney's material and is quite a bit more seedy in content. Put the two together and myths begin to form.
