I have always thought of Walt Disney as my second father.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When it comes to classic Disney, I've got it in my DNA. I mean, the guy who trained me, the man who mentored me when I first came to the Studio was Eric Larson, one of Walt's Nine Old Men.
Walt Disney was my great hero.
As a father of five, I sometimes feel I've spent a lifetime watching Disney musicals.
I look up to Walt Disney and what he has done.
Honestly, I grew up with Disney.
I first met Walt Disney 25 or 30 years ago.
His feeling was the name Walt Disney represented all of us. Walt was hanging by his teeth financially and really I think he was for most of his career. Not at all like today.
To do a studio film, something with Disney. My father is thrilled.
Walt Disney grew up in Marceline, but almost every child has grown up with his beloved characters.
I remember seeing my father only twice as a child for brief visits. As I grew up, I invented a father who was larger than life - stronger, smarter, more handsome, and even holier than other men.
