- 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)
- Bows to Ed Poor's greater knowledge and personal experience. --Sysop-TK /MyTalk 13:47, 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.

I feel like this should be added...
Yes, Walt Disney was a conservative. Yes his marriage lasted considerably longer than many other Hollywood residents'.
But please, don't get your panties in a bunch Conservapedia. Walt Disney was a flagrant anti-semite and as a Jew, I take great offense to that.
So next time, please include all the facts, not just the ones that are nice and pretty.
