The reviews are in on the CD-ROM Walt Disney: An Intimate History
of the Man and His Magic, produced by the Walt Disney Family Educational
Foundation. "The most comprehensive -- and loving -- tribute to the
quintessential innovator . . . filled with cherished family mementos
never before made public," said Associated Press. The disc ". . .
gives fans an up-close look at the creative force and Hollywood mogul
whose life and career seem to hold a mythical spell on modern culture,"
wrote the "L.A. Times." "U.S. News & World Report"
found it a "surprisingly frank look at the studio head's life." "Miles
ahead of your average A&E biography," said "Entertainment
Weekly." And the "Chicago Tribune" wrote, "This multimedia
biography etches an indelible portrait not only of a visionary artist
who had a profound effect on popular culture, but also . . . a 'loving
husband and devoted father.'" And finally, "Family PC" thought
that the disc, ". . . made with help from his daughter Diane Disney
Miller, would no doubt have pleased even Walt, who always insisted
on using state-of-the-art technology to tell a tale."
