This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

The film starts out with Walt as a youth being discouraged, being discouraged as an adult and ends with the creation of our second title character. This is "the Disney version" of his life sanitized for our protection. His interesting period as a WWI ambulance and truck driver was only mentioned. There was never any mention of infamous AWOL incident which spurred a famous urban legend I believed as a kid growing up. We see Disney (Thomas Ian Nicholas) as the world's worst business manager, forgetting to factor in things like "profit" when making a deal. The acting was not great and having Napoleon Dynamite (Jon Heder) play his brother Roy was a total miscast. It was like watching when he ran Pedro's campaign.This is a family friendly film one that teaches perseverance no matter how wild your dreams are or who tells you no or who you have to borrow from, or how many bad checks you write, or how often you don't pay your rent...and the art of leaving town when you have a lot of bills.Yes, I liked it, but it could have been far better.

I really wanted to like this film as it's subject is a person who has given much joy to millions and started from nothing. I made it about 20 minutes before turning it off. It is at best a 3rd rate school production and at worst an embarrassment for all involved. I loved Saving Mr Banks and was hopeful that this would add more to the Disney story. Sadly it was just a horrible mistake. Very wooden acting from actors who should know better and extremely poor direction from a very inexperienced director. How the money was raised for make this with the directors track record amazes me. But in watching (at least some of) it, I can see nothing was spent on sets or locations. The dialogue was terrible and very poorly written. I could go on but I have given this dog enough of my attention already.

I was appalled, cruelly disappointed at how flat this movie was. I've always been an avid Disney fan. As a kid I used to devour Mickey and Donald comics and cartoons on TV. I find his movies magical. How could anyone depict the genius that the man was in such a dreary, drab fashion? There is absolutely no drama in the script or in the direction. The man himself is so terribly ordinary you wonder how such a man could have invented a whole new grammar of films, animation. Surely some of his craft, the humanness, joy of his movies would get reflected in his personality? But what comes across in the movie is a pedestrian character whose romance (I just read up after watching the movie that Walt and his wife were married for 41 years) is so incredibly facile, one dimensional and completely unromantic that I kept waiting for that one sublimely soulful moment that would make me realise what he saw in her - but we get absolutely no insight into their relationship just as there is very little camaraderie between his fellow animators though we are supposed to believe they are like a family. In short I have yet to see a movie which had such an exciting subject and such a dull, uninspired, shoddy treatment.

I am from Kerala State, India. Today I watched this movie through netflix NetFlix. Thanks netflix for bringing such a nice movie. I would say its one of the best movies, Good direction and good acting. Very touching and true story of Walt Disney. Informative too. The ending credits music is just awesome. The film is a bit slow paced, but that is its highlight. About the other reviews, to be honest I would say that they are just poor critics. They don't know how to reivew a movie. Those fast paced action movie fans, don't likt this type of drama movies. Better they check the genre of the movie before watching. The negative reviews, they giving truly fools the ignorant ones and they may not even watch the film. Hats of the the entire crew. Bring such nice movies like this. Ignore the critics. The wikipedia article also is too confusing. Some low quality critics criticizing. Now a days critics are just money based. If the film team not gives them enough money they criticize. They wont bother the film is good or not.
