R.I.P. Walt Disney. December 5th, 2001 would’ve been your 100th birthday.

@@leahrowden3939 Dang, not quite long after 9/11.

Rest In Peace, Disney

Not that crazy. Kurt was really good in several Disney movies.

@Richard Sandberg: "Follow Me, Boys!", which Walt talks about in the clip, was Kurt Russell's first big role and his first Disney film. Before then he was doing guest spots on TV shows.

Bobbnoxious Kurt Russell first started on the 1963 ABC series,"THE TRAVELS OF JAIMIE McPHEETERS" from MGM Television,which today,is the property of Warner Bros. Entertainment,who has yet to release the series onto DVD! the musical theme to the series was preformed by an unknown group of lads,to be known as "The Osmond Brothers",as in Donnie Osmond,and his brothers,a decade before they hit the music charts in the early 1970s,with such tunes,as "Sweet and Innocent",and eventually hitting it bigger by the later half of that decade! by that same time,Kurt Russell had already established himself past the Disney movies!

I don't know about Kurt Russell, but my grandmother talks about him all the time, so in a sense, I have to agree with you. Since she watches a lot of TCM, I guess he really was a great actor

"Was"? Kurt Russell's still around. True, he hasn't worked a lot the last few years, but he's not dead! In fact, he's going to be in three new movies this year, including the new Fast and the Furious thing and the new Tarantino movie!

He was raised in a hatefull world that's what happebs to a person. Prejuduce isn't learned, It's taught. He still made good cartoons.

***** What? Did you even read my comment? I was defending him.

Actually, Walt wasn't as bad as the accusations. His best animator was -ironically- Jewish for example.

Phobos Anomaly There is NO excuse, past or present, for racism! And, NO, being a product of his time is a cop out! And as much as i love Disneyland, i find Walt's attitude hurtful, especially since racism,mainly against African-Americans, thrives! They are a people who have, and ARE vehemently sinned against! And Americans attitude toward racism and discrimination is" Believe what we tell you, and NOT what you see with your own eyes!" Shameful! Racists WILL reap what they sew! GOD says so! If Walt had loved his fellow man as GOD commands, he may hav lived longer, despite his chain-smoking!

Ericka Thankful Let me bring your attention to something. Do you realize that in the future, your beliefs, your actions, even your words, however equality oriented or sensitive you think you are, in the future even you may be called racist. You need to have a broader view, otherwise you will always judge the people of the past, and then be judged yourself by the people of the future.

I know right and sadly enough he probably did know he was going to pass away soon not that soon though

He died a few months later

Henry Robles a month and a half later

People who worked with Walt noted that in his final days, the last he spoke to his employee's, he said "goodbye" Thing is..he NEVER said that before. They say he always said "see you tomorrow", but in his final days, he said goodbye. So..he knew.

He knew, he had so much work to do before he left the planet

i often think the same overall i think he would be pleased he would find Pixar very intresting and would be very curios over the technology they have to offer and would be pleased that they aquired that, he would of loved the disney Renasciance with all those classics coming out such as Beauty and the beast, Lion King ,Aladdin ect he would also be pleased about the disney revival as i call it with Tangled and Frozen i don't think he would be pleased thou that disney has basically abanoned traditonal animation i think he would love CGI but he knows that Traditonal animation also plays a big part , he would be dissapointed about what Epcot became and the Disney Channel he would hate , he would hate how Micky Mouse in Micky Mouse clubhouse is just a toddler show and embarrased by alot of the actors that have come out of Disney Brittney Spears, Miley Cyrus,Shia LaBeouf also the shows they produce i'm not shore how he would think of the accusations of Marvel or Lucasfilms i think he would be pleased Maker STudios he would defintley be getting into the growing media on RU-vid would be something he see's that should be done, he would see Dreamworks and Anime as big rivals, he would of enjoyed who framed Roger Rabit while his rivals charatcers were there he would realise how much of an impact it would be too see Micky Mouse and Bugs Bunny on screen and how it would thrill many children, he would like the Disney Parks around the world as well and glad they have been a success.

I have to agree with you on most of what you said, I'm guessing he would be quite disappointed with the disney channel turning more into a teenage channel, and i'm sure he would be proud that disney is making three more starwars movies but I don't think he would know much about them since I'm guessing starwars came out in the 80's, but anyhow he would be majorly disgusted with some of the former teen actors who worked on Disney Channel mostly including Miley cyrus , but overall he would be very proud with his company today and I'm sure he is now watching from the heavens, but he would be terrified of the suicide mouse creepypasta.

Brandon Madin I believe he would like it, not only the animated movies, but the also the fact that he would be among the most powerful, famous, rich and loved people in the world, i think he wouldn't mind the Disney channel's teen shows too much.

I bet he'd fire the idiot who came up with the idea of the stupid sitcoms.

I agree

He was also in involved in The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, since one of the shorts Winnie the Pooh and the Honey Tree was released in his lifetime and was involved in production of Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day

He was sadly never even able to see it in it's entirety because it released in '67

he never was officially involved in it but the last film he signed off on was the aristocats

The last Live action films Walt Disney had personal supervision were “Blackbeard’s Ghost” and “The Happiest Millionaire”.

He would definitely vomit

I think he would be proud with how much it has grown but disappointed with some of their recent ventures such as the live action remakes

I'm sure he would be very very proud and happy to see his mascots used the way he wanted it to!

@@sethbangard5194 i prefer some of the live action remakes, but i believe walt would be dissapointed at a scene in a disney show, where the student says, “after school, can i clap your erasers?” and the teacher and this student bite this apple, and its weird.

I wonder how would Walt Disney react to toy story 1995

Lazbro Brony did they complete follow me guys after his death? 🤔

No mamo, "Follow Me Boys!" was completed before Disney's death.

***** Oh

KingFoofy But he made the Disney films

same to you pal.

+KingFoofy that's a common myth.

+KingFoofy yeah he did. He campaigned for the lead actor to win an Oscar for his performance in the film. And guess what? He was African American.

Yep

Vibes

He'd be VERY unhappy with the promotion of these crazy agendas too.

Yes until these jerks took over

Hed be pretty unhappy with a lot of what they've been doing.

It's too bad Walt didn't have a protege.

He would also hate the live action remakes of his cartoons.

@@freddiemercury4860 I know right they should have more ideas instead of milking Walt's movies dry

@@arielruh7773 he wouldnt have liked the idea of rehashing but I have to say they are very high quality movies and even if it's just nostalgia talking(which its not) they stand out to me as the best stuff they've done in years. But that's mostly cause they haven't done much outside of Pixar

He would have also hated the live versions of his movies..leave the classics alone

He would also hate that Disney buying company

Actually, the potential risks of smoking were common knowledge years before. It wasn't until the 1966 that the government started requiring warnings on packs of cigarettes. But, that occurred long after the risk became known. I remember hearing reports about the risks of smoking in the late 50s. My dad, a physician, used to bring home articles on the subject in an effort to convince my mother (a very light smoker) and her mother (a heavy smoker) to quit. My mom did, but my grandmother didn't. And it is true that the tobacco companies had been long aware of the hazards, and had been fighting the labeling required for years before they were mandated. They still continue to deny that cigarettes are addictive or unhealthy.l Notwithstanding the well documented risk of smoking, people still smoke, and kids are starting up daily. When you are young, you feel invincible and refuse to believe that smoking is harmful. That's why the tobacco companies like to start them young. Smoking is such an addictive habit, that it is unlikely that a heavy smoker like Disney would have stopped. It also bring to mind Johnny Carson who, while fully aware of the risks, continued to smoke ... ultimately dying from emphysema.

Actually 20% of people who get lung cancer never smoked. So really smoking isn't the main cause. My Grandfatherwas 100 when he died.He smoked and drank at parties.

@@austinklein1172 ...so then 80% of lung cancer patients have smoked in their lives, that sounds like a main cause to me, even if there are exceptions

@@JoIsAwesome my pointwas NOT everyone who's smoked gets lung cancer. My Grandfather was 100 day shy from 101 when he died. He smoked everyday. My Mom was the oldest living woman in her mothers side She was 73 when she died she smoked. Died of brain cancer. I'm NOT saying smoke but if you do you do. Other things kill people TOO are you going stop thoughs things too?

@@austinklein1172 Smoking is way too demonized and that's a big problem, becuase kids that start to smoke believe that the parents are just exaggerating the risk, which is actually kind of true... I never smoked in my life, but my parents never demonized smoke for me, they just told me that smoking was bad for me, kind of like not eating vegetables is bad. I believed them and growing up I did my research about smoking and decided I would never smoke. But I believe that a few cigarettes here and then aren't as bad as they say they are.

Nick Jasper I know that came out of nowhere! Haha Walt was amazing

Wow that's amazing, you get a gold star

@@-sdot83 do you mail it? Or... what? How do I get it? Thanks!

+Rohan Padiyar And the next time (after this post) Dec 15 comes, it will be 50 years.

+Collins Crapo Yes but after that who KNOWS how many years it will be. Could be any amount, 14, 78.

This year in December, it'll be his 115th birthday AND 50th anniversary of his death. I'm going to Disneyland this month :) I've been feeling Disney fever lately. If only they would revitalize Mickey Mouse and his gang for Disney channel instead of stupid bullshit oh the tv. He's due for another movie already!

Rohan Padiyar yup from Lung Cancer

Its 2018 now haa..... time flies by really fast

Well said and well put ! He had an excellent speaking voice !

What's weirder is that the person you see here and his iconic personality is for the most part an act. Walt was a very introverted, shy and sadly self-depricating man with self-esteem issues. Since he was Walt goddamn Disney though, he built a far more outgoing persona for his public appearances. May also explain why he smoked his entire life which was eventually what killed him. The man himself identified as two people; Walter Disney the shy businessman and Walt Disney the outgoing caring tycoon. Very kind man though even with his more negative traits. Not a man to give much praise beyond "that'll do" but very generous with raises.

Tom Hanks was an uncanny Disney in SAVING MR. BANKS, about the making of MARY POPPINS. (And Emma Thompson was uncanny as PL Travers.)

Nick Akers ... seriously... 😂

I was ten years old too in Dec. of 1966 when Walt passed away. I remember seeing it on the TV news and reading his obit on the front page of our local paper. I didn't get to go down to Orange County and visit Disneyland for the first time until 1974. Visited it again in the mid-90s. Fun & fascinating place !!

@@jubalcalif9100 I loved Visiting Disneyland Disneyworld! Wonderful memories!

I did cry

"Prior" to his death you say? Sorry, I couldn't resist. :)

Oh my God. You're serious.

Thanks for sharing that groovy memory ! Drove a Mercedes, eh ? He was always a snappy dresser and clearly he liked to drive snappy cars ! And he could afford it...good for him !! :-)

He's racist. Very racist. But did contribute alot.

GoldenEye 0010 Aren't we all a little racist in some way?....

1979WSchamps yep but I respect black people. He doesnt quite respect them. He wanted them out of his company.

+GoldenEye 0010 he was NOT racist. his black employee even said he wasnt. a lot of people in that time did use the n word. he didn't treat people like dirt because of their skin colour. why the hell would he get an ethnic minority to work for him? idiot

+GoldenEye 0010 He wasn't racist...he was racially insensitive. Sometimes he said the N word, but he did not mean it in a racist tone.

Walt was referring to future projects and one of the actors included being Kurt Russell, Kurt himself confirmed this on the View.

Hi tom. I am studying Disney. please explain your comment

You got that right! (It was an acronym of the initials of relatives who wanted him to be named after them...)

What has never been revealed was what the entire message said: "Bring me the head of Kurt Russell"

carolina barbara I love how your profile picture is Nickelodeon 😂

OceanicBlue well I also like nickelodeon so 😂😊

Zodiac signs don't mean anything

Actually I think he was an Episcopalian.

+Kyra Renee The Happiest Millionaire apparently was the last live-action film whose production he supervised, while The Jungle Book was the last animated film he oversaw.

I watched it for the first time just a few weeks ago on TCM (Turner Classic Movies) during a salute to Disney films. Leonard Maltin was the host. He said it was one of Walt's few flops. I can see why....it was WAY too long at three hours. it was a period piece (set in 1914), so the budget was tremendous. And it had too many songs...none of them memorable. They seem to break into song about every 15 min or so. But it had truly xlnt performances by a very talented cast....especially Tommy Steele, Lesley Ann Downs and Fred MacMurray.

@@CCRoxtar You are right....Walt also supervised one other life action film that was not finished before his passing: "Blackbeard's Ghost", which starred Peter Ustinov and Dean Jones. Filming had been finished on "The Happiest Milliionaire" before Walt died....but it was in post production at the time of his passing & was not released to theaters till the following yr (1967). The "Blackbeard" flick didn't get released till '68.

We can hope the urban legends are true.

+Mark Kostecki Yup, that Kurt Russell.
