Walt Disney In 1966, the year Walt Disney died, 240 million people saw a Disney movie, 100 million tuned in to a Disney television program, 80 million bought Disney merchandise, and close to seven million visited Disneyland. Few creative figures before or since have held such a long-lasting place in American life and popular culture. American Experience offers an unprecedented look at the life and legacy of one of America’s most enduring and influential storytellers in Walt Disney, a new two-part, four-hour film premiering Monday and Tuesday, Sep. 14-15 from 8-10 p.m. The film examines Disney’s complex life and enduring legacy, featuring rare archival footage from the Disney vaults, scenes from some of his greatest films, and interviews with biogra- phers, animators and artists who worked on early films, includingSnow White, and the designers who helped turn his dream of Disneyland into reality. Disney’s movies grew out of his own life experiences. He told stories of outsiders struggling for acceptance and belonging, while questioning the conventions of class and authority. As Disney rose to prominence and gained financial security, his work became increasingly celebratory of the American way of life that made his unlikely success possible. Yet despite that success, he was driven and restless, a demanding perfectionist on whom decades of relentless work and chain-smoking would take their toll. Never satisfied with his previous efforts, he always pushed forward to a new adventure, but his attention to detail and quest for innovation frequently meant delays and cost overruns. When his employees organized and went on strike, Disney felt betrayed, unable to understand how people who worked for him could be unhappy; years later he called them communists before the House Un-American Activities Committee. “Oftentimes, the character at the center of Disney’s work is an outsider, an underdog of sorts, who is trying in a way to buck the system and find their way,” says American Experience executive producer Mark Samels. “I think Walt Disney really saw himself that way.” WTVP—More Choices For complete listings information, please visit wtvp.org 3 3 WTVP 47.1 HD WTVP 47.1 HD WTVP 47.1 HD WTVP 47.1 HD WTVP 47.1 HD WTVP 47.1 HD Daytime Schedule Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday 5:00 BBC WORLD NEWS 5:30 ARTHUR When Scary Things 6:00 ODD SQUAD 6:30 WILD KRATTS Happen 7:00 CURIOUS GEORGE Sometimes scary things happen. 7:30 CURIOUS GEORGE Hurricanes, tornadoes, thunder- storms…Things that can leave kids 8:00 DANIEL TIGER’S NEIGHBORHOOD scared, confused and feeling unsafe.
