Review - Walt Disney

I felt it got bogged down in details at times, but it was interesting insight into the founding of Disney. Gabler portrays Disney's drive as one, not for art or money, but for order — the attempt to create a world where he had control. This explains why Disney was thought to be a good guy to his employees when things were going well and a dictator when things were tough.
