Walt Disney
for Walt Disney in THE MAN BEHIND THE MAGIC
Suggested by enzotakerian
A biopic that shows the life and career of Walter Elias Disney, an artistic man who brought a mouse to life via animated cartoons. From when he struggled in grade school to when served in the Red Cross, to when he created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, to when he got married, to when he created Mickey Mouse, to when he worked on the first animated feature-length in animation, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Even though he wasn't actually the first man to use and publish animated works, he introduced "Steamboat Willie," the first animated cartoon, not only to star Mickey and Minnie Mouse, but also to have synchronized sound. Later he helped create and release "Flowers and Trees," the first cartoon in full color. The movie should also show the animators' strike at the studio while they were developing "Dumbo." There was also the time of Walt's most controversial film ever, "Song of the South" which resulted in backlash. There should also be a moment in the movie where Walt is on stage with Shirley Temple. All the while, he produced the popular TV show, "Mickey Mouse Club" with the Mouse-keteers. In his later years, Walt developed ideas for theme parks, like Disneyland. And unfortunately, Walt died while Walt Disney World was under construction. Rated PG-13 for "thematic elements, language, and smoking."
