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They also have Donald Duck's age as 64 (he's 74, it could be out of date or a typo..)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

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