Walt Disney. Part 2
Description
Walt Disney built a media and entertainment company that stands as one of the most powerful on the planet, won more Academy Awards than anybody in history, created a cinematic art form, and invented a new kind of American vacation destination. Disney's work counts adoring fans on every continent and critics who decried its smooth façade of sentimentality and stubborn optimism, its feel-good re-write of American history. Part two of this two-part series focuses on Disney's troubles with union organizations, success in building Disneyland and Disney World, and his battle with lung cancer.
