#disney documentary

I sat down and watched Animat's 12-hour documentary on Disney as a whole, I have sat down and watched the documentaries on Disneyland, I and now am binge watching the Wonderful World of Disney

Oh and then the Mickey Mouse Documentary Mickey the Story of a Mouse,

And then the countless hours I do on my own making sure sources are correct ect because I care that much about accuracy and respecting the sources

I'm not like modern Hollywood writers that will see oh we're handling this famous celebrity and not do any God damn research and butcher them as a result...

From watching everything I have gathered Walt Disney was a very complex individual he definitely deserves the respect and renown he does and yes I get pissed off at people picking on Walt for his actions because nobody brings in mental illness as in big issue,

I really do think Walter Elias Disney had PTSD as a result of events in his life and possibly a reactive problem as a result of things in early childhood this is why he was known to be hard to work with and incredibly stubborn

Doesn't give him an excuse but it should be brought into the arguments of people trying to slander his name as a counterpoint here,

It's like a lot of people don't realize he practically had no hand in Animated movies from 1941 all the way up until the Jungle Book and he didn't even get to see the success of that movie he was that traumatized over the Strikw deal I really do think there was a lot more going on there than has ever been publicized.

Especially since it led to him getting more and more paranoid about communism like he was looking for an escape and reason, it's honestly heartbreaking. He literally practically gave up animation because of what had happened.

Again I can't tell you the amount of Disney documentaries official and unofficial I have watched

But I do applaud animat on being the absolute insane motherfucker to decide hey I'm going to cover the entirety of the Disney repertoire

12 freaking hours long from 1928 to Frozen 2 good god somebody get an honorary award for Animat over that one please,

My favorite part of this entire doc was the restored footage and new-to-me pictures/videos!!! 🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

The first hour felt like a really great early Beach Boys documentary, but once they hit Pet Sounds it felt like “yada yada yada Endless Summer came out the end”. Like I guess I get why they ended it in 1975 but I also don’t? So so much was cut out? And I understand that maybe they didn’t want to bring up the 70s drug abuse, etc. But they still squeezed in Charles Manson. I mean I expected this to happen anyways but regardless, they deserve a 10 part miniseries imo.

The Paradise Cove reunion was very cute. If you saw the preview for the reunion, that’s it. It lasts less than a minute. It still made me cry a little because I’m sappy 🥹

Kokomo playing over the end title cards about how Pet Sounds became a iconic album at the end of the doc was really funny ngl.

It was fine. It’s a perfectly fine documentary. I miss Carl and Dennis Wilson.

Disneyland Handcrafted takes a rare behind-the-scenes look at how Walt Disney’s bold vision became Disneyland. Built from archival footage and original audio, the documentary explores the creativity, craftsmanship, and pressure behind The Happiest Place on Earth.
