- Walt Disney was the twentieth century’s prime example of American ingenuity. How did he do it? In this video, Glenn Beck, best-selling author and host of The Glenn Beck Program, explains how Disney became a household name, and how he proved that in America, the only limit to your ambition is your own imagination.

Script:
I want to tell you about an American Original, a man who saw into the future and made it a reality.
He isn’t the only one to do this. There were American Originals before him-Benjamin Franklin, the Wright Brothers, John D. Rockefeller-and there are American Originals in our time, like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk.
But in the middle of the twentieth century, there was no better example than Walt Disney.
Fifty years after his death, his name still stands atop a global empire.
Raised on a small family farm in Missouri, Walt Disney arrived in Hollywood in 1923 with little more than a suitcase and a pencil. But he had something else. An idea-an idea to explore humanity’s foibles through cartoon animals. Now, I know it sounds obvious now, but only because we live in the world that he helped create.
At first, Disney, like most entrepreneurs, did everything himself-he wrote, produced, directed, and animated. And animation is a painstakingly, time-intensive task. In the early days, it would take hundreds, if not thousands, of separate drawings to create a moving cartoon. But hard work was never really a problem for Walt Disney. Living on baked beans, and renting a one-room office for $5 a month, he believed he was on to something-and nobody could convince him otherwise.
And Disney would need every bit of that conviction. Now, though the barriers to entry in Hollywood in the 1920s were low, the competition was cut-throat. But a charming rodent and the coming of sound allowed him to break through.
Steamboat Willie, in 1928, starring an early version of a whistling Mickey Mouse, confirmed Disney’s belief that there was an audience-a very large audience-for what he wanted to produce.
By 1933, Mickey was the biggest star in the world. And in that year alone, a cartoon mouse received 800,000 pieces of fan mail. Within a decade, Disney had transformed his one-person operation into a major studio employing a thousand animators.
But Disney was a restless personality; he was easily dissatisfied with his own success. And he wanted to make a full-length animated feature. It couldn’t be good. It had to be great. It couldn’t be in black and white. It had to be in color. And it couldn’t just be in color. It had to be art in motion.
It would be very expensive - far beyond what he had ever spent on a single project. But money didn’t really interest him. It was only a means to an end. That end? Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.
Three years in the making, it was finally released in 1937. And it was an instant and phenomenal success-worth every dime spent, every heartache he had endured.

I'm Ghanaian and Prageru has changed the way i see the world and I appreciate a lot the American experiment. It works and your founders were full of wisdom to keep government out.
Seth Gyan set that makes two of us 😁✌️👍
Prager U is awesome. Walt Disney was a pedophile and propagandist.
Make Ghana great again!
bronxbombers1302 What are your evidences?
frankstrawnation Disney made propaganda cartoons for World War II (which you should check out). I've never heard anyone say he was a pedophile
R.I.P. Walt Disney, mankind's fantasy hero.
it truly is rare now to see anyone who comes close to "folk hero" status, the most recent example i can remotely think of is Tony Hawk, he was EVERYWERE through the 90s and early 2000's, staying the same chill cool dude he was when he started skating as a young teen in the mid to late 80's, he represented all the dreams and aspirations of us as kids and mysteriously vanished without a trace all while never skipping a beat or getting caught up in a single controversy, truly both of them were legends and I feel that today's world needs genuine role models more than ever to inspire and compel.
False idol
tony hawk or walt disney?
Ummmm He was a massive nazi supporter
@@davidstanco So was Charles Lindbergh. A New York Times reporter, Walter Duranty was a big Stalin supporter.
If only Disney saw what happened to his company. It turned from a company of creativity, pure wonderment and imagination, to a shell of its former self. Buying out franchises and companies, the live-action remakes being unoriginal garbage, shutting down their most-beloved rides like The Tower of Terror and the motorboats, and most of their animated movies are cliched beyond belief. They disgraced what Walt was trying to accomplish, turning into a cesspool of bad decisions and utter greed.
It's called capitalism. You had a chance to get rid of it and you blew it.
David Johnson
:D :D :D
Plenty of countries have made that mistake already. move to Venezuela if you really want socialism.
You're right. But so long as fans keep paying big money to see Disney movies and visit their parks in record numbers, what you've mention in your comment is not about to change anytime soon.
kristof gergely
Disney owns ABC. ABC pushes a Liberal agenda. "The View" is a perfect example. Walt is rolling in his grave.
Many children of the world, including the Vietnamese children, live their childhood with Disney's cartoons. Thank him so much! :-0
EVIL DISNEY SEX FILLED CARTOONS AND WALT A 33RD DEGREE FREEMASON .. AND MOST OF THE PEOPLE YOU MENTION ARE FREEMASONS AND EVIL AND WORSHIP SATAN.. PEOPLE KEEP YOUR CHILDREN AWAY FROM DISNEY IT IS FILLED WITH PORNOGRAPHY = czcams.com/video/fGvIkc0tdpI/video.html = Disney Illuminati Satanism & Sex symbols Exposed
do you realize walt disney was a PEDOPHILE who was obsessed with bottoms of little boys? he had witchcraft and sorcery in almost ALL his movies.....even incorporated 666 in his signature....so DISAPPOINTED in PRAGER U honoring this PEDOPHILE!!!!!
Hoàng Kim Việt
Entertain them and brain wash then
are you blind? he incorporated 666 into his SIGNATURE!!!! his logo with the tower breaking through the top was a reference to the tower of Babel...he was a SATANIST and will burn in hell forever!!!
and as far as the masons go...go do some research...you have no excuse....the info is out there......
I really admire how often you guys upload, I struggle with once a week lol. Most channels today are going for quantity over quality, and I really appreciate that you are going for quality over quantity :)
Keep up the great work!
Logan nope. They are not big as Shareblue , or NBC or CBS
Masculine Man Nice subtle self-plug.
Masculine Man
This is nothing.
Just look at the upload rate for The Infographics Channel.
Masculine Man my advice as a viewer is be consistent. Upload at your chosen rate but stick with it.
I’ve watched the likes of zero punctuation for 7 years because for 7 years he has NEVER missed an upload. Angry Joe who did a mix of content but his 40 minute reviews made up a large chunk of his audience (me included) he slowed down his 40 minute review uploads and wondered where everyone went.
Also till you hit say 50,000 subs, engage your comment users, it will keep them coming back. Something as simple as “your thanks makes it all worth it” to a fan, will make them feel valued. It’s a back and forth.
I’ve watched zero of your videos just so you know my advice I would give to anyone.
I agree! Sadly however, Google/CZcams reinforce the latter:(
I've watched so many Walt Disney documentaries I couldnt help smiling, and getting teary-eyed, about how well Mr. Beck honors his wonderful personality.
A fantastic story told by a fantastic storyteller. It is amazing what Walt did. He created an iconic character and one of the most successful companies.
You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become a villain. I will always keep the classics of Disney close to my heart, but it makes me sad to see what the company has become.
It's what happens when "they" take over the entertainment industry
For good reason too
True words
In 2003-04, I had the pleasure to work for Walt Disney Imagineering, one a live, interactive theater experience, to be installed at the Living Seas Pavilion in EPCOT, and then later copied for California Adventure.
We, the crew from California, were sent to Epcot for the final installation and refinement of the technology, I took advantage of my employment badge which meant, with a few restrictions, I could go pretty much wherever I wanted on the park, but also "back stage" where the guests do not go. Epcot was a great place to work for the 10 or so weeks I was there because there were so many great restaurants. But the best thing was watching the families when the various Characters would great the guests. Seeing little kid's faces light up when they saw Mickey or Donald or Snow White was incredible. As I got to know many of the cast members (all of whom were unbelievably sweet), I was struck by the stories they would tell about Make-A-Wish Foundation children, Autistic kids who would never talk to people, but would talk to the Characters, and so on.
Some of those stories still bring me to tears all these years later. Yes, it's a corporate giant that screws up from time to time (you try wrangling in 200,000 employees spread across the US, Europe and Asia), and yes, the parks are pricey, but to me, those kids having the experience of a lifetime made me believe in the message.
It was the most rewarding job I ever had.
I saw Disney's Snow White when I was only seven years old. At that time I thought it was the most beautiful "thing" I had seen. The sparkling diamonds in the mine were like magic to me...
Walt Disney is the prime example on how a personally flawed person can give birth to a brand that has brought happiness to children (and adults) for over 100years (regardless of color). No fan of Glenn Beck but has done a great job covering Walt Disney's relevant history without the drama.
I love Disney, and I still love going to Disneyland whenever I can.
R.I.P (REST IN PIECE)
Walt Disney 1901-1966
He was the man behind mickey and minnie mouse, donald and daisy duck, goofy, pluto, tinker bell, 101 dalmations, and many more disney movies!!!
This is inspiring. One man can indeed change everything.
So love Glenn's take on Disney. Thanks for giving him another outlet to share.
Glenn look's like a guy from KFC.
ASIAN GUY *woman
When even Bill O'Reilly says, "Okay, Col. Sanders..." Pat and Jeffy should use the airport runway signals to land Beck home...✌😛
This was very motivating to watch, Walt Disney was an inspiring figure. :) Thank you Prager U and Glenn Beck. I love going to his theme parks, they are so magical and the rides are awesome.
Great... love examples like that....بحب الشخصيات دي
NBC couldn't make up it's mind...
Classic NBC!
VariantAEC To be fair, NBC did eventually host Disney's anthology series after Walt wanted to start airing it in color and ABC didn't agree with the idea.
This is probably the best video I have ever seen Glenn Beck in. Mainly because he just has the right voice to narrate it.
To wit: "When you wish upon a star...MAKES NO DIFFERENCE WHO YOU ARE...!"
Walt Disney’s work was and still is amazing and will live on to entertain the masses for centuries upon centuries.... if the current CEO’s and executives stop ruining it like they have been over the past ten years with pushing their liberal agenda and becoming more cheap with their more recent ventures and products
My grandfather Edward Thomas was one of the original Imagineers that helped design Disneyland. I am very proud of that. My mother told me that she was able to meet Walt Disney as a kid when my grandfather and mr Walt Disney were at my grandfathers house discussing something about the plans on the Pirates of the Caribbeans ride. My grandfather was also one of the few people to be invited to Walt's funeral. He was a great person from the stories I have heard from my family. I also truly believe Walt would be sick to see how expensive it is now to visit his parks. Walt Disney wanted his parks to be affordable so anyone could attend.
These days it seems popular to deride the man because of the size of Disney as a corporation, but he did have high standards for his works and it shows in all of his efforts which had an impact on our entertainment ever since.
schizoidboy yea violating labor unions right's
I love Prager U's videos! Even though i am not American and live in a developing country, but videos like this help shape my pattern of thinking and figure out more about life in general. Keep up the good work this channel deserves more subscribers!
Max Fleischer blows Walt disney out of the water. He was the true pioneer of animation. He was the better artist and Disney was just better at marketing.
Burke Tinsley it's like Nicoli Tesla vs Thomas Edison. Tesla was good Electrical engineering and Edison was good at marketing.
Hector Vega it’s exactly like that
Burke Tinsley yet no one will know because history book we're probably paid to keep it quite. Sad to see creative minds loose, and victors write history.
Beautiful speech about a beautiful story.
On of the best videos, Thanks PragerU
God bless Prager University.. you have given me an idea
Chocolate truffles nice
Chocolate truffles
Don't bother! I've already tried resurrecting Walt Disney. it never works, no matter how many virgins you sacrifice.
One of the best videos
متعة التعليم if only it were accurate
Absolutely great video! Keep it up!
Excellent, knocked out of the park - bravo!
Stop looking at who's speaking and listen to what that person is saying. I have no idea who that person is and I don't really care. He just relayed a message and that is what this is about. It's like listening to Martin Luther King's speech and complaining that he was divorced once or that his tie is crooked. That doesn't change ANYTHING about what he is saying.
this is the mentality of the woman in a relationship with a psychopath, always getting back together and being abused again. words can be crafted to manipulate, you can sneak lies in under the veil of absolute truth by associating it with things that are undeniably true.
Glenn Beck is someone people have trusted and got back together with, only to always be abused, and after a while it is pure defense to just turn that person off. If the message is so important, don't use such a liar.
If the message is so good have someone else say it. you give such an untrustworthy person " good things " to talk about to build up their credibility again and Glenn Beck has been through this dynamic of building popularity for telling the truth then turning it into lies so many times that the people who know him for this know not to listen to him even if he is telling the truth it is only to gain trust to convince you of lies later.
I hope this explains the situation to you. if it does not then i am afraid you are virtue signalling and don't understand the situation this one man is in, nor his history with the public.
Ethoea - that's not what I said at all, you've created a strawman argument.
He can talk all he wants, but people are not going to listen him, I am pointing out that if Glenn Beck in particular was chosen to be the voice of a message, it may have been a poor choice for this reason.
I have no " authority " to decide who talks and does not talk. I do get to decide who i trust and who i do not trust, and I believe everyone does. Glenn beck has flip-flopped and broken the trust of so many people that i believe there are a large number of people that have suffered the lies of this ideological conman and will also choose not to listen to him.
Eric McLaughlin
You are just making my first comment that much stronger. If Hitler was here and was talking about Capitalism, I would say the same thing. He is not promoting himself, he is promoting an idea. This is not some political campaign. I don't care how good or bad a person is if what I'm here for is the message which I do not subscribe to. I don't listen to this video and because it's PragerU I'm right away "BAM! TRUTH!". No. I'm listening to what he has to say, trying to understand it. See where I agree, disagree and formulate my own opinion. What if that same message was brought by nobody on the screen? Would you still not listen? This is the type of hypocrisy that makes us divided. If it's "god" saying it here on this channel or a serial killer, the message is still the same.
"Do as I say, not as do". I don't like this sentence but it has a tinge of truth to it in that opinions and actions are separate. Human beings are flawed in that sense. If he literally goes against what he said in the video, it does not negate anything he said in the video. It just makes him a hypocrite. It's up to you to take the information given and interpret it in some meaningful way for yourself, regardless of who says it.
Not taking a "bad" person's opinion seriously is just as ignorant as taking a "good" person's opinion without critical thinking. "Facts don't care about your feelings" - you can hate a person for who they are, but actions and words are different.
so you don't care what source your information comes from and listen to everyone regarding anything?
Your interpretation is that Glenn Beck is not promoting himself I suppose, but i believe he is. I don't think you will convince me otherwise, and I see him as a conman.
While he might be telling the truth now, he will build up a base of followers and proceed to feed them venom later. He has done this several times. Wasting your time listening to him is foolish, seek truth elsewhere.. he might say it for sure, and I cede that this does not make in untrue or that we should rally ourselves against the truth because it is being said by such a person.. but that he is untrustworthy and listening to him speak truth would just be setting yourself up for a fall later.
You might be some absolute paragon of discernment, but most people verify a few times then just tend to believe what a trusted source says.. Glenn Beck is someone that takes advantage of this.
So I'm sorry that the majority of people do not diligently fact check absolutely everything that someone utters no matter whom they are.. and certainly in an iconic world we would all do this to the point where absolutely no lie would ever get by us and there would be true justice in the world. Perhaps someday all people will be such staunch research warriors as you, but i don't see it happening.
This is the reason for bias against certain sources of news.. it is why i do not watch CNN, I do not read National Geographic, and why i do not listen to Glenn Beck.
Eric McLaughlin
When it comes to "news" or "truth" for that matter, I also avoid certain things. But I come here to PragerU for an opinion I might have never heard or contemplated before. This enriches my own philosophy and my view of the world. If it's news that I care about in any form, I check the sources, if I don't care I won't and if I ever mention it I have it in my head where I heard it and add that to my speech. Otherwise I'll be the one spreading "fake news" and potential misinformation. And as you said, most people won't do this kind of "research", but I think following someone who is consistently telling the truth is just as bad as following someone that probably tells a lot of bs. In both cases you can have either true or false information given in any particular case, and that is dangerous no matter how amazing of a reporter you are.
Because I give the same critique to all sides almost equally (avoiding absolutely all bias is practically impossible after all) it's weird for me to see other people not doing that. As much as I support Laissez Fair Capitalism for example, I am still going to listen to socialists and capitalists alike and give their arguments a fair chance because there is always a possibility that even the tiniest thing in my ideology is fundamentally wrong.
So sure, people can avoid him if they dislike him and don't want to listen to the opinion of such a man. But if they already sat down and are listening to him, at least hear what he has to say. Otherwise you are wasting your own time and that's kind of a shame. So the bias existing I get and I apply it myself to a degree, but that bias cannot be a legitimate criticism of the words themselves, only of the person speaking them aka not what this video is about.
PragerU keep fighting the good fight we hear you
Well, at least the people who didn't exit out or scroll down to the comments when they saw Glenn Beck's face.
refusing to listen is the sign if an arrogant person
DISNEY DISNEY DISNEY!!!
I’ve done reports on this man so I knew most of this stuff but I still love it.
Thank you for doing a video on this inspiration that changed the world 👏
This is a video I can get behind with PragerU. Walt Disney started something great and many years later, it's still around for the next generation to enjoy.
So many conspiracy theorists in these comments. Shaking my head, like if you don't believe in these conspiracies.
Glenn beck and conspiracies? Those two things definitely aren't related
Lmao he worked with a nazi for the moon landing search Walt Disney moon landing and go to nasas website Also like a actually nazi he was on the German side of world war 2 this is facts
BroGaming ZJGDude05 before you call me mentally insane search that one thing up not a conspiracy theory admitted by nasa
And even before Walt Disneys animations Max Fleischer was the first to popularise animations during its time until Walt Disney used questionable methods to crush his rival who happens to be Max Fleischer.
joshua wadsworth I'm a fan of all the Animation Studios including Walt Disney in the Fletcher Studios and Termite Terrace. but you shouldn't hate Walt Disney because Walt Disney made animation into something wonderful that made all the other companies look in his direction to see how they could get better them selves. competition is always great and inspires rivals to work harder so they can get better.
RED SEA GAMING well Walt Disney did used questionable methods against Flechter.
Honestly this is the best one yet. Real motivating and well done. Nothing that continues my ongoing need for a confirmation bias lol
Wow great video! You should do more of these types of videos!
Great video Prager U
Tidus Sims HA HA HA
It's really refreshing to not always be focused on some bigger picture, moral message, or political polarity. This is a very interesting bit of history that schools today really ought to teach students.
Unfortunately, that is a utopia we will not soon achieve.
Dear, Mr Glenn Beck I love disney and I love this video that you made and it truly makes out what disney was and how many people could and may shall stride to be like him, an self made entrepreneurs and a hero in the eyes of children, and how America is the powerhouse for imagination and free thinking, please keep these Prager U videos coming these are great and very inspiring.
A great retrospective of one of the best American originals!
What about Don Bluth?
EYTPS No love for Bakshi, either...
John K was a disgruntled Hanna-Barbara employee. What is a worse "Hell"? Someone like me who has/had to struggle to focus "on model"? Or....no reason to...
Vanbo B Who quit Disney to create his own classic films
Uh, yeah. That guy.
Don Bluths company is dead and he’s still alive while Disney’s company is the biggest company there is and he’s been dead for years. Don Bluth was very much like Disney but did not have anywhere near the same legacy
Forgot Oswald the lucky rabbit
Good job Glen. Thank you!
Wow I love Walt even more now
Nice one.. I too a fan of disney
Elon Musk is in the USA to achieve his American Dream but he first gained success as a South African. Even when he came to the West he did so through Canada. Not that there is a problem with it. It’s just that this is the second recent video I’ve seen portraying his individual example as one of inherent US exceptionalism, when it didn’t work like that at all.
I’m happy that the USA helped him achieve so much, but... Ben Franklin? Walt Disney? Steve Jobs? Elon Musk? One of these things is not like the other.
I’ve got a feeling that he wouldn’t even be mentioned here if it weren’t for Bill Whittle and Co doing the same. Too bad no one addressed it there.
Hope this will help someone avoid an awkward call-out in the future. :)
Emmett Turner he is living the American dream. Could he have achieved the same in Canada or South Africa?
AlvaritoGT Probably not, which goes to show how much we take for granted. Americans generally expect opportunity to fall in their laps while motivated entrepreneurs from abroad come here to make a future for themselves (key word: “make”). Anyone who speaks disparagingly about the stereotypical Indian convenience store clerk while they pressure the government/taxpayers to pay for their education for a “better” job needs to take two steps back and look at who is really building our future. Entitlement is cancer.
Emmett Turner- Agreed, the world owes us nothing, family names that are now huge in business all started as nothings, the founders of Amazon started a little delivery company out their garage, now it's the world's largest online distribution and retail company. William Boeing started with a lumber company, and then branched into aviation and how his company is one of the largest aerospace engineering corporations in the world! There's a common theme with the big names in businesses, they all worked for their job.
Emmett Turner - "Americans generally expect opportunity to fall in their laps while motivated entrepreneurs from abroad come here to make a future for themselves" - You really need to spend a few minutes and look at the facts. Since 1965 we are not getting the people from abroad that want to "make" a future for themselves. We are getting the people that want to "take" a future from our kids for themselves. Just search for the welfare immigration statistics, native born Americans are way low on the list of people with their hand out. They even break it down by race. You'll be in for a stunning revelation.
Ben Franklin, Walt Disney, Steve Jobs, and Elon Musk are all ambitious people, but only one needed massive government subsidies. I'm sure you can guess who he is.
My favourite Disney film is where they herded all those lemmings off the cliff lol.
Well said Beck. A wonderful lesson for the younger generation to learn.
That is why America is untouchably and admirably the greatest nation ever on earth.
last time i checked, america isn't the most prosperous, doesn't have the best healthcare, not the best education, not the least corrupt and certainly not the freest nation at all. it does lead the world in debt, by like 17 trillion dollars
DaDARKPass well guess what. there are countries WORSE then America.
For some reason a lot of people want Walt Disney to have hated the Jews. It's not true. With some context, Jews were universally hated in all Christian and Muslim countries prior to about 60 years ago, still in most Islamic majority countries. There were tiny numbers of exceptions. Some countries and periods it was more universal and vocal and meaningful like the 1850s, some less vocal but still reality, and for thousands of years prior. Tacitus said Arabs volunteered to wipe the Jews out in 70 AD simply because of strong universal hatred of the Jews, and another Roman historian said Arabs were the first to burn down the temple, again because of universal hatred among them of the Jews, prior to even the Christian anti Jewish systems a few hundred years later, and the worst Islamic ones (Koran 5:82 among hundreds, and of course calling the Jews the descendants of pigs) Understanding that, Disney was most definitely not an antisemite! He had Jewish colleagues and benefactors, he was also part of clubs which didn't allow Jews. In other words he couldn't care less about the Jews, he likely had a non verbalized fondness for them seeing how many ideas he stole from Jewish animators like Betty Boop (who did a full length feature Snow White 5 years before his) among many examples.
Walt Disney is a super big inspiration to me. Even down to the last detail Disney wanted things to be perfect and in a lot of ways you can still see that in the Disney parks today
I hate what Disney has become now, but their films are a part of my childhood now.
He looks like that kid from "A Christmas Story" in this video. Pat and Jeffy should smack him around more...✌😊
Oh how the mighty have fallen. Walt would be ashamed of what his company has become. A wokeist mess. Let us all pray that the good lord will send down a new hero this world so desperately needs, one who will kick corruption in the core, and save our world. Rest In Peace Walt, you will be missed, and hopefully, just maybe, someone will come along and save your legacy.
Rockatoa, Brickticks out!
Hard work is always rewarded
I'm glad to be subscribed to a channel that recognizes the strengths that America has for its citizens, with Walt being a person I look up to. I know he's not a perfect person but overall he has brought a great legacy.
Unfortunately, America is on the way left, not right.
watchdealer11 eh it seems like leftist Scandinavia is doing better than the u.s.
The US isn't free, so it's senseless to compare. If we compare Singapore or Liechtenstein to Scandanavia, it's a whole different picture.
it's funny. i found someone in another prageru video who kept talking about how their wife said norway is a terrible country because apperantly everyone is lazy and only does oil. i'm serious, this person exists. also, the U.S. is still bad either way because it relies on the debt of other countries to be wealthy
DaDARKPass you seem to be one of the only reasonable people in this comment section
FORTUNETLY
Glenn Beck?....Really?
How dare PragerU include people you don't personally like!
On a glass door in the Magic Kingdom are the words:
"People make the magic." -Walt Disney
When I worked as an intern at Walt Disney World Resorts; I would see this quote every time I would visit the Magic Kingdom in Orlando. And I know this to be true.
That was beautiful. Thanks to Disney, we can enjoy Disney world and Disney's films.
"In America the only limit to your ambition is your own imagination"...hell, not! I´m not American, and I agree that probably it is easier to succeed in the US than in any other country, but I do not think that statement can always be true... You can have a dream, an idea, a project and a feeling to make it possible, but sometimes it´s just impossible (indeed, you posted some months ago a video in your own channel saying exactly the same), simply because you are not lucky enough, because you have to deal with other problems, or because any other reason... A dream is a dream, when you can make it real, then it turns to reality, but you can´t live your entire life thinking you will turn your dream into reality, because you should also need to understand that sometimes there are some impossible things and your dream can turn into a nightmare if you only live for it without realizing the impediments and the limits... And it has nothing to do with the State or with the Government, each person has its own limits, responsabilities, circumstances, obstacles, etc. It´s nice to have dreams, but I´ve met lot of "dreamers" way unhappy just because they are slaves of their own dreams so thet they live in a permanent nightmare... Sometimes is better to stop, think and watch the reality, than to pursue a dream that, at the end of the day, is just that, a dream. I´m sure there are lot of "dreamers" in USA with pretty good ideas and projects giving up on them due to many different reasons further than their "own imagination". And "ingenuity" is not something exclusive in America or for Americans...
Shush
I agree.
Nacho BH Just because youre a loser doesn't mean you have to bring others down.
Oh, yes, just because I have a different point of view I´m a loser... You know nothing about me... How old are you? That answer is the kind of answer my 6 year old cousin will say... Kids shouldn´t be on CZcams.
Nacho BH Anyone who uses the "just because I have a different view/opinion" argument is automatically a loser. Plus, from your original comment it's obvious you're just some bitter, cynical loser trying to bust other people's bubbles because you have failed at life. You ARE a loser. Capital L, small o, small s, small e, small r, PERIOD
I hate Disney they ruined Star Wars for me and are trying to do the same to the MCU
Malacki 655 You don't get the point
They definitely ruined Star Wars, but they’re doing good for the most part with the MCU. Granted, this is only because Marvel already had an established plan that they proposed regarding most of the MCU movies. Marvel just needed Disney’s money and influence to support their vision. It’s mostly just the comics that Disney has been horribly screwing up with. But that’s why when it comes to comics and cartoons, I prefer DC.
They arent ruined. The old stuff is still there.
They haven’t ruined anything. Star wars is a fun action movie, not a political-scientific universe. Take it for fun.
Walt Disney rose from the dead and ruined Star Wars. You heard it here first, folks.
Best PragerU video I've seen so far.
Wow! That was cool. Considering that we studied Disney in both Economics and Business Administration during my time in college.
I expect more from Prageru....
?
Prageru i like your channel but glenn beck? you could do better.
Inspiring. I often struggle with believing that I can get anywhere in life, not so much because of government interference, but because of other forces I think are arrayed against me. This reminds me I am more in control than I think.
That was a very well made video. Good job guys!
Glenn Beck?..barf. can't even finish the video.
Because the video was about Glenn? Lol
Apostate and Formal Heretic he be.
I almost was turned off by Beck but listened because of the reputation of Prageru. I'm glad I listened.
Puglous Well, for example, he sometimes yaps about things he knows nothing about, and - what's even worse - he's ignorantly convinced that he's in the right, as demonstrated here:

Nice fiveo of a guy who ISN'T Glenn Beck. Are you a water-baby?
"Well, because traditionally, Americans, unlike other people in other countries, don’t rely on the government to get things done." Really? This video was so close for once not pressing its agenda into an otherwise neutral subject. No actual reasons are given to support this conclusion.
Exactly. Especially how Disney clearly would have to rely on the government to protect his copyrights and trademarks. Which now the government just lets Disney sit on so many copyrights they don't even use anymore long after Walt's death. Which is ironic given that Disney uses so many Hans Christian Andersen tales that have been put in the public domain for their movies. So who exactly isn't relying on the government here?
Great video! Well said
Amazing video!
Thanks!
Thumbs Down Only For Glenn Beck. Sorry.
drew phillip Bye Felicia.
Hard Boiled Entertainment how old are you, grade schooler?
You live with a lot of hate, Drew Phillip.
Glen is a shitty version of Alex Jones.
6% of people at the time I am reading this agree with you. The collective disagrees with you. And when the collective disagrees with you, well... socialists have ways to fixing that. But you're in luck! You have a Right (given to you by your maker, not government) so you can keep saying dumb things.
Thumbs-up for content, thumbs-WAY-down for Glenn Beck.
He's an awesome guy and has great knowledge of history. If you are a commie, you probably won't like him though.
I'm actually a socially-liberal, fiscally-conservative Republican, but go ahead and keep making assumptions behind your computer screen and keyboard. People like you are pathetic.
yep i assumed you were a commie- if you are a fiscally conservative republican you would likely support Glenn Beck. Socially liberal but fiscally conservative? Does that mean you support small government, free markets and less entitlement spending while supporting more entitlement programs?
I guess I haven't looked much into Beck's positions on spending, monetary policy, etc. To me, being 'socially liberal' boils down to being moderate-to-liberal on 'the issues' (gay marriage, abortion, marijuana use, gun control, etc.) while retaining a conservative approach to fiscal and monetary policy. I do think clean, efficient entitlement programs CAN WORK inside the framework of a clean, efficient, limited state so long as they are fiscally sound (ie can easily be maintained) and encourage the unemployed to get back to work.
Which one of those entitlements is ever fiscally sound? even sustainable? Shouldn't you support government staying out of marriage completely? I guess no right to life as you support the killing of the unborn? What rights do you support? On Marijuana, again shouldn't government stay out of it? But you want government to control guns but not drugs.....so you just want big government when it agrees with you? no offense but i don't believe the "fiscal conservative/social liberal" makes any sense at all. it just sounds good to some..lol. How about small government and freedom at all times?
Well said, as are all of PragerU's videos. Thanks!!
I'm reading The Illusion of Life by Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, both of whom worked in Disney studios for many years. It's super inspiring and would recommend it to anyone interested in the work of Walt Disney.
No offence Prager U, but Walt Disney is *pure evil*

How so? I'm curious...
Ethoea, He was an anti-semite, he stole credit from Fleischer animation studio, and he used his influence to change copyright laws so he could continue to profit off of "his creations" long after they should have entered the public domain
pennyfortheguy, I am far right, and Walt Disney was anti-capitalist. When his works were going to enter the public domain, he lobbied to change copyright laws. When Max Fleischer created the fist synchronised sound cartoons, Disney copied his work, and then paid the press to advertise his "steamboat willie" as revolutionary. I do not believe in the redistribution of wealth, but I also disagree with the monopoly that Disney has become.
*+pennyfortheguy*
Shapiro: "Leftists are trying to brainwash our children through Hollywood!"
You: "Anyone that hates Disney is a leftist trying to silence those they don't like!"
*+Random Content* How was Disney anti-semitic?
Jacob Griffin, this dude Neal Gabler said (about Walt Disney) "Even if he wasn't personally anti-Semitic, Disney willingly, even enthusiastically, embraced [anti-Semites] and cast his fate with them."
He was also a misogynist
Society as a whole was more "sexist" back then. Doesn't mean that Disney hated women.

Your point is invalid
No it's not, unless you want to admit your point is also invalid. It's one or the other, either both of our points are or neither.
Shut yo simpy bitch ass up. Stop kissing up 2 women u bitch ass simp
What's astonishing about it is that Walt Disney was at odds with Roy Disney his brother and business partner who was more of a businessman while Walt Disney was more creative. His brother Roy would actually tell Walt Disney please lower the costs while Walt Disney himself would say we want quality not cheap crap. It was up to Roy to find the money for Walt Disney's dream projects. Walt Disney Productions was in debt for many years but when they had Disneyland open overnight Walt Disney Company became rich. Walt Disney's dedication to his choice of work paid off.
As someone who is currently, until the end of the video that is, procrastinating their own project to watch this, this reminded me why I pursue this path and why I choose to be independent rather than search for a job in this industry. It's about the art in of itself and the idea that it encapsulates, and the fun that comes with it is the reward for that work.
And I tried to make an animation myself as a promotional piece...At the time I tried I was very lacking in skill, that was 2 years ago before I started working on the final form of the project. I'm gonna try to animate again sometime in the coming few months, but like he said, "it's a painstakingly time intensive task." It's satisfying as hell to see the final product though.
WELL done, from a true Walt fan! This video is beautiful.
Great video!
Amazing
Genius of a man
Walt disney was indeed a fascinating and complex person.
Great job Glenn. .
This is very very good!
Disney's cartoons were a source of pleasure and worldly wisdom during my childhood .
This is a great story
When you achieve something so great nothing can bring you down. Ive always been a believer but sometimes all you need is a pair of glasses. Im a dreamer
I feel like a little kid, drinking a juicebox while PragerU is telling me a story
While the kids in the back are trying to interrupt circle time with their own opinions.
Disney is my hero.
As much as I admire Walt, the darker parts of his creativity were totally glossed over. That said, he was a unique person.
Well done Glenn!!
He made some wonderful films.
More Glenn Beck story-telling, please!!!!
