Walt Disney : his life and legacy

2015
Videos and DVDs
Uniquely adept at art as well as commerce, Walt Disney was a master filmmaker who harnessed the power of technology to tell stories of outsiders struggling for acceptance and belonging, while questioning the conventions of class and authority. As Disney rose to prominence and gained financial security, his work became increasingly celebratory of the American way of life that made his unlikely success possible. A polarising figure - though true believers vastly outnumber his critics - Disney's achievements are indisputable. This series examines Disney's complex life and continuing legacy, featuring rare archival footage from the Disney vaults, interviews with biographers and historians, as well as the animators and designers who helped turn his dreams into reality. Walt Disney is both an inspiring story and a cautionary tale about the price of empire.
