If you are a fan of Walt Disney, his work, or just of documentaries in general, don't pass this one up. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll wish you could have known him. He is Walt Disney, the man who started an empire with a mouse named Mickey. The film tracks Walt's life from his birth in 1901 until his death in 1966. The film delves into Walt's work life and his personal life; the moments he shared and the moments too personal.
The Man Behind the Myth is the most intimate documentary on Walt, and the most personal, as made with the help of his still living relatives (at the time) and his employees (including some of the original 9 Old Men). You may walk away with a new perspective on Walt, or the Disney company after watching and realizing he was just a man, and not a God.
