  • 02:51 "...all the liberalisms that really are american...".

    Wow... in other words, "racist".

    They can be good ideas, as long as americans have them. In America.

    But not for the benefit of anyone else.

  • @Hereitbegins - would it be possible to make this video available on mobile, please? Thanks.

  • I think the thing about him being racist and anti Semitic is probably true. However, at the time it was acceptable, not only in America, but across the western world black people and Jews were seen as second class citizens. So I hold no grudges against him for that. But over all, (and I'm not just basing this comment on this documentary by the way) I just don't think he was a very nice man. But hey, you get good people, and you get bad people in life. Although you can't deny the man did good.

  • Btw the facts in these documentaries are not only made up but are false and can be proven false. Go to the Academy Award website and look at their archieves you will see all the Awards Walt Disney got were for film titles not for "background design" This is pure slander. If you do research you would see the facts don't support this. No one has a reason to hate Walt Disney, this documentary was made people who got fired from the studio. They would love Disney if they still worked there.

  • Awesome documentary.

  • the only reason why americans were really afraid because the communist parties of countries were put in power by force because alot of them were backed up by the soviet union though whenever america took out communists in other countries they have to make that capitalist though the reason why people thought that america was the good side because the communist were coldblooded killers

  • All men are flawed. King David stole a man's wife and had him killed.

    Disney had flaws. He went through hell to build his company. He was double crossed by his distributor and had his first character stolen from him. That was business in those times. As was racism. Comparing Disney of 1940 to the 21st century is not fair. The founding fathers owned slaves. It was the culture of their time. Disney was a great visionary. And faithful to his wife. How many Hollywood people can say that today?

  • @ 7:03 "The years to come would be good to Disney"

    That's what you call good KARMA..... =]

  • Walt was right!

  • @theOstara,4 real did u watch the videos a hero not both was a@@es n made life very hard 4 ppl!

  • Walt Disney, like Henry Ford was an American Hero

  • @TheOstara -- This is a joke about how Henry Ford was a piece of shit too, right?

  • Those guys were really communist. No one ever talk about it but its true. Look at those angry America hating hollywood Jews. They are the ones harassing people.

  • Does this change my views on Walt Disney... not really... but it is something worth taking on board and anylising in my own time!

  • Something so strangely republican about all those trials.

    If Disney was alive today working on building his empire he would have been on FOX news, and been a valuable candidate of the republican small town Christian movement. You probably would see the Palin children at Disneyland kissing uncle Walt.

    Reagan was at that communist naming conference too, along side Disney, and wasn't that a treat to see?

    Was Reagan a Republican? Yes

    Did Reagan become a Major political figure in CA? YES

    SAD

  • My god Americans hate communism and THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IT FUCKING IS.

  • WALT DISNEY: WAS A TYPICAL CAPITALIST ENEMY OF THE PEOPLE..

  • Walt Disney was an asshole. That's all you can say. I wish he can come back to life and see all the AMAZING Disney classics that he didn't get to see and see how nobody is racist anymore and how there is a lot of princesses with different races and are still beautiful so he can have a heart attack :D

  • @DaisyFknMadeline Disney sucks now though, Pixar is good though

  • @DaisyFknMadeline nobody is racist anymore? In what world do you live?

  • @DaisyFknMadeline Do you know anything about Walt Disney? Did you know he always wanted to make Aladdin? an Arab princess. Did you know Small World was a ride to teach the world we are all the same? It's actually a peace anthem. Walt Disney would LOVE the new movies they made, in fact people in the studio his family and animators who lived in his time made sure they can make movies in a way Disney would approve. Learn about the studio before talking.

  • @edwardo44 how about you chill? drop the sack & respect.

  • @DaisyFknMadeline Read the comment above.

  • @edwardo44

    Say what you want, but your kidding yourself. Disney was a rasist, no doubt about it, he was a rasist. You can believe whatever but a fact is a fact.

  • @ckMC13410 Good thing you lived with Walt Disney to be so sure, right? :p You are taking the word of white people Walt Disney fired against the word of actual Jews and black people who worked under him and said he wasn't racist?? You're the one kidding yourself :p Fact you say :p Being pessimistic and hateful towards a cartoonist for children without evidence doesn't make you seem smarter, I know it's what you aim for, but you are failing miserably :p Realistically you all you have is claims

  • @edwardo44

    The whole reason why I watched this is because I love the company Disney, I love the films and animations, and I wanted to find out the truth. How do you know that other Jewish & black people have said he wasn't rasicist. If you was to watch the whole of this you'd acturely see that a woman who was part Jewish told how Walt displayed some rasicm towards her, your telling me all I have is claims, but wheres your proof? I'm not trying to seem smart, I just wanted to let out my opinion

  • @ckMC13410 Well for the Jews his favorites in the studio were the Sherman Brothers in fact everyone else in the studio was jealous of them. They saw him as a father. As for woman when his company turned against he took the workers that he trusted and loved the most on a good will tour, that team had woman in it, in fact she inspired a lot of the art they used. Watch "Walt Disney and El Grupo," "The Boys: the Sherman Brothers story," and "Walt: The man behind the myth."

  • @ckMC13410 One thing you need to keep in mind (if you watch the documentaries I mentioned) Walt Disney was demanding and the only people he ever said "good job" too were the Sherman Brothers. Chances are these people that got fired were just not good and their race had nothing to do with it. He worked with blacks, Jews, and Woman who said he's the kindest spirit. And these people were probably good at what they did. More people said good things about him, and these people weren't fired by him.

  • @edwardo44 The disney company is different than Walt disney originally dreamed it to be. He meant for it to be for pure christian white 'americans'. Nothing wrong with that, but once you start a company and invite people to come on board, you must respect that work that you bring on, otherwise you only want slaves, right?

  • @ckMC13410 Do you think this documentary was made with good intention?? It's made by guys still holding a grudge. It's senseless slander, and it's illegal in America.

  • @edwardo44 How else can you explain his hatred of the workers wanting to talk about rights for two months, and his brother getting results in a day? Walt chased an idea like a young girl's fantasy of marriage, but he was a tyrant who wanted people in his own image.

  • CONTINUED..........The fact that movie stars and producers were named in the witch hunts is silly because they are not about to give up their mansions and and millions. How does Communism even work in a capitalist society?? Does communism even truly work IN countries under Communist regimes? Most probably want out.

  • At "best", denizens of Hollywood would be Communist SYMPATHIZERS. No single individual can BE a Communist, all alone, by himself, without anyone else. (Yes, I well aware of the multiple redundancies in that sentence. I'm making a point.) . By definition, the entire country would have to simultaneously become Communists. The government would have to switch over. All money would have to be destroyed. The fact that movie stars and producers were named in the witch-hunts is.......

  • this is stupid everybody has a bad side soo why show his yeh sure he hated communism so did jack warner and a million other americans i mean come on walt disney is a great man and whoever watches this and thinks other wise is a dick who doesnt understand everyone has good and bad sides

  • @assassinator48 there's a difference between Walt Disney and a normal person with a conscience. People have a bad side but it's NOTHING compared to Walt Disney. It's not just that he hated communism,there's more to it.

  • @assassinator48 The fame made him a little koo koo.

  • This man was a true son of a bitch.

  • Politics, the bane of the world.. If not the universe.

  • The constitution is an outdated document. Meant for greater, but left for art. One can only look in the mirror to find blame.

  • @FmlyDskst5314 The Constitution is a document that is idealogical. It is full of ideals that are not confined to time or place. They are the ideals of freedom, and laws to protect the freedoms that are a divine right. To say that the Constitution is outdated is saying that freedom itself is outdated because that is what the Constitution is all about.

  • @natkra90 my statement was of observation, you are correct I was saying freedom is outdated as well. This is what we the people let happen daily. It is truly sad. There is no more worse than an able person to see wrong doing and just sit by and do nothing.

  • I find this clip funny - because the liberals were calling out saying that the McCarthy hearings viloted their constitutional rights. . . but nowadays they are calling The Constitution an outdated document.

  • @4oldskool not really, more like a paranoid capitalist state of mind.

  • Thanks ror sharing!

  • disney and hitler had alot in common, and they admired eachother.

  • Another example for the history books: that a man with charisma, a certain charm, and the ability to create a polished public image can achieve a great deal, for good or ill, despite being barking mad. Why did the FBI black out those files? What did they really say? What possible horrors did the man commit during the McCarthy era, a time when such actions were the norm?

  • the whole thing is deffenently food for thought. shows how someone with bad treats can have a oppsitive impacte in some way. how some things can be over veiwed when in a formiler or good lighting...Gives you somthing to think about.

  • A brilliant man, all the same.

    You can tell, with most of the interviewees, that they still have respect for everything he did for the movies.

  • also i think that at he wasnt exacly a racist because during the time zone of disney life there was racism everywere... and woman didnt have the rights they have today, so disney wasnt to uncommon

  • if, you study communist in depth... it acually follows the exact rules of the bible... =P

  • Communism was and is something to be feared. However it is clear that Walt Disney was a media mogul and was in bed with a government agency (FBI). The definition of facism is corporate governance, They just fought a world War against facism so its interesting that America would be so facist (but not when u think of op paperclip and the ruling elites.)

    The demands of the union here seem reasonable. However today Hollywood and even Disney stand against his conservative values. Maybe he was right?

  • So disappointed (Disney and America)

  • The thing is those people who were named were registered members of the communist party. He wasn't throwing these people under the bus, what he said was true

  • Herbert Knott Sorrell was an asshole and far worse. The Commie stuff was bad all around, bad on both sides. Walt felt that communism was un-american. As did most americans at the time. People love to find fault with Walt from todays eyes. He was a complex man, who got angry like a bear but was driven for perfection. He also helped a LOT of people, employing people during the great depression, paying them well. For all those who worked for him only a handful speak bad about him.Tells ya something

  • @plausibleimpossible Tells you that for most of the workers to go on strike, the bulk of them felt wronged. True he was a showman artistically, but a bad man personally. He wanted to control the world's image.

  • Two of those interviewed looked like Gene Shalit and Al Pacino (or the late Ron Silver).

  • Typical american cowardise towards Communism, they demonized it and never truly knew what it was...

    How many people were black listed and endured a hard life simply because of the wealthy and power beurgois American fearing that Communism

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 So I guess you're implying that communism is a good form of government.

  • Real Communism (which has actually never existed by true definition) is

    the bastardized version of Communism that Stalin, Mao, Kim-Il-Sung, Ho Chi Minh, Castro and other communist revolutionaries used isnt

    Communism would be the ideal way of politics and life, the only problem is humans r too greedy for hav a stateless, moneyless, classless society

    humans think inwardly and only care about themselves, which is why capitalism is rife

    The Communism u know from the cold war is WRONG

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 yeah i like to call cold war communism state capitalism it seems as if like the leaders of such regimes never read anything by karl marx ,however i disagree with marx in many points and i consider myself to be an anarchist since i follow the libertarian comunism movement and mikhail bakunin's ideals

  • @DanteWhite no im opposed to anarchism, its just like communism in that its an ideal ideology but humans themselves are too incapable of holding it together

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 it worked once in spain check out documentaries on spanish anarchism and the CNT

  • @DanteWhite and what did you think?

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 its a shame that they lost the war and their system was ended but while it lasted even they say it was the greatest moment of their lives and we should look up to spain's model of anarchy revise it so that if there is a flaw work it out and create new political philosophies that can ensure a better life for all more than the current social/economic systems of the world

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 a nation can't prosper with communism. If everyone is paid the same, and has the same earnings, then what's the point of innovation? Who's going to strive to create if there is no reward for it? Why should I work twice as hard as someone else and get rewarded the same? Innovating is not easy, and those who work hard should be rewarded for it :)

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 no but your forgettting the other human condition which is laziness and if there wasn't goals or extra incentives then we would not be no where near as developed as we are today why study medicine if your only get the same as a janitor gets

  • @liverbird66 because it's the right thing to do, we shouldnt have to help people simply to get something in return cause not everyone can give when in need but sadly humans aren't like that and the complex society that has been set up today and the mentality people have gained over the years makes it impossible

  • @ElectricEdgewave192 I know it has been said many times before, but it is worth repeating. True Communism looks and sounds really great on paper, but it never has nor will it ever work in a real world application. Yes, for the most part people are greedy, but more people are just plain LAZY. Capitalism works because hard working people want to reap their benefits and not share them with LAZIES who don't contribute. However, if everyone did their part, then it would be a different story.

  • @ScubaSteve228 well im surprised im still getting messages after a year. Capitalism doesnt 'work', its got many flaws and is simply the lesser of two harsh ideologies. Whats to stop rich folk from creating monopolies, using money to influence government, to pay lower and lower wages?. It was only through the introduction of some socialist ideals that capitalism is less flawed. Like the great depression, lasseiz-faire capitalism failed and a mixed market was introduce, ie some left-wing policies

  • It is, although I think (real) Socialism works better. It's a bit more... balanced.

  • not that im defending the man...but this was perfrectly natural during his time so blame society, not walt

  • Racist ahole

  • Watched the whole thing. Pretty deep.

  • Thx for uploading this. Always interesting to take a look behind the curtain!

  • yes indeed. and I liked they way you expressed that.
