Bruno Girveau reveals that castles dominated the imaginary of Walt Disney's films, becoming the center of Disney parks and, with Mickey, figuring the emblem of the Disney co. Someone like Walt could see the immensity of the small and the accessibility of the great: Tiny Mickey's heroic dimension; parks' castles toy-likeness. Disney fantasy has the generosity of saints in loving everything alike, giving to great and small common attributes. (Disneyssence)

I saw the movie last week - it's really wonderful. Go see it.

Walt Disney was said to be "mercurial".
How can someone have integrity, be in synch with life, if life, for the creative person, is always a source of surprise, that is, is "mercurial" itself?
Mercury is the Roman name for the Greek god Hermes, the messenger of the gods. He had to be everywhere, as fast as he could, to carry the Olympian designs. That is the way Disney acted too, bringing to fruition heavenly designs.

I walk from the 43 bus that lets you off at presido blvd and letterman blvd..about a 5 - 10 mnute walk from there

it was lots of fun!

I'll be seeing it Saturday. Looking forward to it ... and to listening to Imagineering "Hall of Presidents" scupltor extraordinaire Blaine Gibson, Imagineering's model shop legend and Tiki Room god Rolly Crump; and the tunefully prolific Disney Legend Richard Sherman.

Just great...love the home movie clips!

Amazing

The museum is about his family not the company that's just one of the reasons it's in SF.

John, once you see this historic building with its ultra-modern high tech features and a jaw-dropping view of the S.F. Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, you might just come to appreciate the site.

Why shouldn't it be located close to the headquarters of Diane Disney Miller, Ron Miller and the area Lillian settled after Walt died?

The family who ... See Morefinanced the project wants the museum close to them to keep tabs on things ... and yes, the Millers are frequently there, especially for special events like Marty Sklar's recent talk on Herb Ryman.

Yay for Anel! Woohoo!

love it!

I have yet to go, wanting to avoid crowds so thought I'd wait, but this is my favorite time of year, don't think I'll be waiting too much longer...

My husband I flew up to San Francisco (from Santa Barbara) and visited your museum today (on our way to honor our Veteran's at the Presido National Cemetary) and we were amazed at the beauty and storytelling weaved into every exhibit we viewed in the museum. The staff in the museum store were beyond polite... Thank you for making the"magic of the value of family" resonate throughout our experience at your museum.

Everyone should get to the museum. I went last weekend to see a showing of some of the "scary" shorts and it was amazing! Haven't been in the museum yet, need to wait until I have the money after going to Disneyland in December.

Sooooo excited to see it!!!!! :)

I liked it too, a very well made documentary on that rarely known period of Walt Disney's career.
