Walt Disney, An Intimate History of the Man and his Magic 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."
