As Dreamers Do Trailers

The early life of Walt Disney is explored in this family film with an art house twist. Though his reality was often dark, it was skewed by his ever growing imagination and eternal optimism.

The story of the beginning of a great artist... One of the most magnificent artist in modern history, and we get this?A lot of the acting was stiff and lacked passion as well as compassion. It was like watching an amateuremovie... The setting was alright, partly the cinematography too, though i would expect something more bright and vivid when telling the story of an artist... Anyway... The Disney family moves to Marceline - and young Disney learns important advices for future life. Already at that point in the movie, the poor acting shines through - or is it the directing, that lacks compassion?- I can't tell. The lines are great and quotable... But lacks life. :( And that's pretty much the same for the rest of the movie as the Disneys move on from one place to another.Well, Elias Disney was great - and Walt the older grew by it.the story IS worth telling, so watch the movie, if you want the story behind Disney. But if' you're looking for a good time... find another movie. I'm so sorry... And the Ending? - I would expect some scenes from the successful Disney Studios - delivering something known - you know - to end the circle... So don't expect it. It won't happen.

well, if you copied the whole script into g00gle translate, and you would let her read it for you, then you'll hear some acting, but this is just reading words in front of a to expensive camera. I really can't get my head around it, how could people be so stupid or naive, or both. At a point you must be thinking, if I was the director, or actor, that this (bleep) we are making is really wrong and bad, and wouldn't you talk about it and do something completely different of rehearse the scenes or something. I really don't understand. I'm very sorry for all the people, I may have hurt, but I am only trying to help. do something you like and please go the full 100%, and not this half baked (bleepbleep)

15 minutes in and I had to Google reviews of this film to make sure I wasn't going crazy in thinking this was HORRIBLE! The trailer made it look decent enough, but OMG I agree the acting is horrible, the dialogue is horrible, and it doesn't do Walt Disney justice in the slightest!Maybe they should thaw out Walt's brain to get a better movie, as this was pure madness.My 13yo could write, direct, and act a better movie than this!Not understanding why I am forced to write 10 lines for a review.If it stinks, then there isn't much more that needs to be said about it!

Walt Disney is a man who had a huge hand in shaping cinema into what it is today. His legacy will last for eternity and his life was a marvelous mark on the world. This being said, As Dreamers Do is a segment of his life and some of the struggles that helped create the man, Walt Disney. While this story is well told and the performance from Olan Rogers is brilliant, the film struggled before Olan was introduced. The children that played Walt and Roy's younger selves were not trained actors (not that I blame them, they're children for goodness sake) but to be fair, it was tough to watch the first bit of the movie. I was able to push through that segment of the movie for a combination of the performance by Mark Stuart who played Elias Disney and the beautiful cinematography. Overall this movie was above and beyond my expectations and I would advise strongly to partake of the cinematic experience.
