A revelation of the darker side to Walt Disney's character looking at his racist, anti-Semitic, misogynist tendencies which finally led to a pathological hatred of communists and an active particpation in McCarthy's House Committee on Un-American Activities.

  • 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

  • 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

  • @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.

  • @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."

  • @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 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.

  • @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

    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.

  • 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.
