• Can we submit things?

• Why Walt Disney?

He basically created this whole Disney concept, ya know?

• Was Walt anti-semitic/racist/etc?

There is NO SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE that Walt was an anti-semite. Walt shared a lot of beliefs of conservative America so I do see him exhibiting some prejudice with ethnic groups or people who differed in sexual orientation. I don’t plan to paint a picture of a perfect man because that would be a lie. Walt, like any historical figure, is problematic and always worth taking a second look.

• Was Walt a harsh boss/ cruel man?

Walt Disney was indeed a demanding boss and was difficult to please. However his workers respected him and all confessed to be fond of him. He was never cruel, though. 

• Did Walt smoke?

Yep, quite heavily. It was his vice.

• Where do you get your Walt info/pictures?

For posts and pics, mostly reblogs or google itself! My info comes from books I’ve read about him or the documentary Walt: The Man Behind the Myth. Please correct me if I’m wrong!

• Why do you like Walt so much if he was ______?

No one is purely good or purely bad. Clearly Walt had faults but was also full of hopes and dreams. What I heavily admire about him was his tenacity and capacity to throw himself to something and pull through. He took great big risks and never gave up. That’s worth admiring.
