Superficial but Interesting
Most Disney fans will find very little new information in these episodes, but they are entertaining and interesting.
Unfortunately, the role of Walt was terribly miscast. He's portrayed almost as a male version of Tinker Bell, happy and go lucky one second, then pouty and tantrums the next. Not even close to what we known of Walt Disney.
This series is like the rest of the History Channels "__ Built America" series- a lot of overacting and deep mime reactions on very simple sets, along with many of the same talking heads from all the other series. There are some Disney experts, but they are not utilized enough.
