Watch Walt Before Mickey For Free

Save your money for something good and enjoyable

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

Everything about this movie says "amateur time." Bad script, middle school acting, horrible direction. It's like the writer/director got his buddies together and said, Hey, gang! Let's make a movie! The director's mom must have sewn the costumes, while Uncle Gus built the sets. I only watched out because of my interest in Disney, and I'm assuming the basic story line is based on Disney's early years. But It was painful to watch. Sorry, Armando, but I can't imagine why anyone would have underwritten this "masterpiece."

I honestly have no idea why everyone seems to find this film boring. Yes, the production values are a tad cheap, but there was no need to spend a big budget for this type of film in the first place. The acting was not atrocious by any means. On the contrary, I thought it was simply brilliant. Thomas Ian Nicholas did an amazing job playing a man the driven and relentless Walt Disney before he became a historic legend,John Herd plays Walt's concerned but supportive brother Roy beautifully, the actors playing Walt's former animators who abandon him out of dissatisfaction with their pay are all nice, the actor who plays Mintz was perfect at capturing his manipulative and conniving tactics. The story is that of a man who had a dream and had to work hard to step up from being a miserable failure to the most successful animator in history while faced with financial problems, stubborn animators, and even his distributors out to steal his work. I have no idea why people find that boring. The movie could have been a little longer allowing more details on Walt's beginnings, but for what it is, it's really not so bad. If you want to learn how Walt Disney studios began, go to Netflix.

The heart of the story was there, but however, the way the story was presented was not. It felt like a cheap Hallmark movie. Even though the shots were fine, the direction the actors were forced to take, the movie score, and the desperate attempt to make you feel emotion was VERY cringe worthy. That's something the story should do itself. Throughout the film, the movie continually tried to squeeze some 'inspirational' piece of crap, line of dialogue to pull at your heartstrings, and it ultimately failed. The movie took me two days to watch because I was so bored 75% through the film that I couldn't finish it in one sitting. That is a movie sin that even God can't forgive. If you can't entertain the viewer, why are you making films? The movie was released in 2015 and it just so happened that I came across it on Netflix. I wondered why I never heard of it, but now I know. I don't recommend this film on any scale, but because I'm a fan of accuracy, I feel it's the only redeeming quality of this film. 6/10, just below average.

I downloaded this on iTunes and it is one of the best movies I've seen in months. It really got across what it is like to be a visionary and having to deal with constraints of the business world. I believed in the characters and cared what happened to them.I felt the film got across a lot of Walt's character, his nature of biting off more then he can chew, of risking everything and of bringing everyone into danger too.If you've ever read or seen documentaries about starting a small business this film illustrates the trials and troubles excellently. As a bonus you see many clips of the earliest animations he put his hand to (literally). I can't wait to watch it again.
