My summary may be a little harsh, but it's true. The script was horrible, the acting was horrible. The thing is, I could see this being a really good movie if those two things were fixed. The cheesy script and the abhorrent line delivery made this movie impossible to finish though.

After watching this movie, I have very mixed feelings. A part of me loved the movie for its story and the atmosphere. The other part of me is disappointed because I don't feel like it fulfilled its true potential. Many of the characters felt shallow and without depth, and the actors were just acting. There wasn't too much feeling in their performances, and the dialogue never felt natural or relaxed.But to be honest, I'd easily watch it again. I don't know why, I just didn't think it was THAT bad. Many people put a lot of hours and hard work behind this movie, the least I can do is try to appreciate it for what it is and see the positive sides of it.

I was appalled, cruelly disappointed at how flat this movie was. I've always been an avid Disney fan. As a kid I used to devour Mickey and Donald comics and cartoons on TV. I find his movies magical. How could anyone depict the genius that the man was in such a dreary, drab fashion? There is absolutely no drama in the script or in the direction. The man himself is so terribly ordinary you wonder how such a man could have invented a whole new grammar of films, animation. Surely some of his craft, the humanness, joy of his movies would get reflected in his personality? But what comes across in the movie is a pedestrian character whose romance (I just read up after watching the movie that Walt and his wife were married for 41 years) is so incredibly facile, one dimensional and completely unromantic that I kept waiting for that one sublimely soulful moment that would make me realise what he saw in her - but we get absolutely no insight into their relationship just as there is very little camaraderie between his fellow animators though we are supposed to believe they are like a family. In short I have yet to see a movie which had such an exciting subject and such a dull, uninspired, shoddy treatment.

This is one of the worst movies I have ever seen. I've never written a review before, but I felt the need to because it was so horrible. So bad, don't you dare click play on it on Netflix if that's the same way you came upon it as I did.The acting. The acting, the acting, the f******* acting is so bad. I seriously had to look up if this movie was supposed to be a satire because there's no way the acting could be this bad. I could drive to my local elementary school, grab 3 special ed children, hand them a book about Walt Disney, and they could put together a better film. I swear to god it's the worst acting I've ever seen in a movie.Now I did give it 2 stars for a reason. Because it should be labeled as a comedy. It's very DRY humor, very dry. But if you happen to be on drugs or high, I could see this movie being entertaining for you. I watched it all the way through out of boredom, and because it was kind of funny.
