Talk:Walt Disney

• The stuff about Eisner, et.al. and the strife, there is about a 10 year gap between Walt's death and all of that...so it isn't very accurate. Roy O. Disney ran it for years after Walt died. --Sysop-TK _/MyTalk 12:28, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

I worked at ABC for 8 years, and I also read some books about Walt Disney and The Walt Disney Company. There was strife and factionalism, Terry. --Ed Poor ^Talk 12:32, 21 June 2007 (EDT)

"Gay Days" are not a Disney-sponsored event. Dadsnagem2 14:43, 23 May 2008 (EDT)

True. That really shouldn't be on there. A better example would be their extension of medical benefits to "domestic partners" of their employees. --Birdie 13:07, 22 July 2008 (EDT)

I just removed the "strife" paragraph. On the one hand, it's long after Walt Disney's death and doesn't belong here, but into the The Walt Disney Company article, if at all. Furthermore, Mulan was released and Gay Days began while Roy Disney still was "chairman of Feature Animation", not as a consequence of any "era of bottom-line corporate thinking" ushered in by Roy Disney's departure.

Wasn't Eisner largely responsible for the Gay Days scandal, though? Either way, yeah, doesn't belong. Pokeria1 23:19, 29 June 2013 (EDT)

Steamboat Willie wasn't the first appearance of Mickey Mouse, but it was the very first cartoon with sound on film as opposed to on wax cylinder, bakelite or vinyl record as sound had been done before.--Monbuoy 11:42, 17 October 2014 (EDT)

Content

Some of this content probably belongs in the Disney article, and not in Walt's bio. RobS^{Ich bin ein breakfast taco} 19:57, October 15, 2022 (EDT)

The whole article, as written, tells us more about the Disney Corporation, and particularly after Walt's death, than it does about the life of Walt Disney. RobS^{Ich bin ein breakfast taco} 19:59, October 15, 2022 (EDT)
