What do they mean, Walt never drew? He drew Mickey, Pluto, and the other characters. I remember one time reading a story of when Walt was a little boy, he would draw on the side of a tar barrel, and his father would punish him for it. The article was accompanied by Walt's early drawings, and one I remember looked alot like Pluto. Okay, maybe they mean he didn't draw the cels for the cartoons and movies. The way it was worded, I thought they meant he wasn't an artist. (Wonder how many grandkids and great-grandkids Walt has now?)

Yeah, and he did the "Alice Comedies" (the first one almost on his own) and his "Laugh o Grams" business.

They also have Donald Duck's age as 64 (he's 74, it could be out of date or a typo..)

I agree, saying "He couldn't draw" is bull.

There are plenty of other errors, too. For example:
  • The twins in Parent Trap? (Sharon & Susan) - The first Parent Trap, yes, but not the most recent.
  • 1975 - The Tomorrowland Eastern Airlines ride? (If You Has Wings) - Probably a typo, yes, but still incorrect
  • The jealous pixie? (Tinkerbelle) - Can't blame a typo on this one. Poor Tinker Bell.
  • The race driver in Herbie? (Jim Douglas) - Herbie has had several drivers. And the original movie, with the character Jim Douglas, was titled "The Love Bug."
This is just from a page or two, and I wasn't trying very hard. I wouldn't trust this when trying to stump yourself or your friends.

Don't be fooled by appearances. In Hawaii, some of the most powerful people look like bums and stuntmen.

There is a small display at the Pensacola Museum of Naval Aviation that talks about Walt and the patches he designed for the military.


Around here, however, we don’t look backwards for very long.

We keep moving forward, opening up new doors and doing new things, because we're curious…
and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
