Cinema Sins is trash that often relies on repetitive and false assumptions to create shock... I unsubbed from that channel more than a year ago and I can't recall a moment where I have had regret of that decision. I wouldn't support their work if they were the last film critics left on the planet...
A blind superhero! A super hero high school! Wow, these novel concepts really demonstrate the level of originality I've come to expect feom CinemaSins

Walt Disney is a globalist and a former puppet of the new world order.
Should do Disney world or Disney Land on geographic
'When Disneyland opened, nothing worked..' 'Yeah John but when the Pirates of the Carribean breaks down, the pirates don't eat the tourists.'
Jeff Walker those were my thoughts exactly when Simon mentioned how the opening of Disneyland was a disaster
Would be pretty funny if they did...

Biographics is so underrated. One of the best channels on CZcams!
I'm gonna say that with over 1.2 mil subscribers that you can't REALLY say people think of this OR ANY of Simon's channels as being anything less than spectacular. He has MILLIONS upon MILLIONS of subscribers throughout the whole of them. And I'm gonna say or just render a guess that he has acquired, because of those subscribers, a GREAT amount of influence. I'd say that at this point Simon has a ton of influence on our impressions of certain historical opinions, or info on geographic places or just GENERALLY interesting information. I think Simon is TRULY one of THE MOST valuable CZcams influencers. His material has great worth, intellectual and entertainment value and they are just FULL of substance. I think the world is VERY lucky to have had Simon dicide one day in the somewhat recent past to sit down and start filming and editing these videos and put them on CZcams. Simon(biographics, geographics, today I found out), Vsauce, Smarter Every Day, it's okay to be smart, wisecrack...you can't go wrong with any of those guys...nothing underrated about any of them...
@@jamessutter6700 hold up he is the person behind vsauce??!!
@@user-zq1vg8xm1p Those are other channels I was listing that I thought were comparable. Vsauce, smarter everyday, wisecrack, etc.....it just came right after I listed simons channels. Which is why simon's are listed in parentheses...

A bit I would've added about Walt was his role in getting Americans interested in space travel, in collaboration with none other than Werner Von Braun (who could be a subject of his own video).
No, he'd rather tell us about how Walt was obsessed with communists he said were trying to ruin his company. Hmmmmmmm... I think Walt was right, and I'm beginning to trust bald man with glasses who loves warrior women a bit less.
@@TheFailLord72 Walt was right. If anything he actually underestimated the communist threat, as we would find out when the KGB archives were opened in the 1990s. The Soviets spent about as much as your average political candidate in the US does on campaign ads, every single year, from 1929 to 1989, just on influencing pop culture here.
Explains a lot about the modern state of entertainment, doesn't it?
Visited Disneyland during its opening year--in a stroller. My parents said I had a good time.
Thats cool
Wow this sounds wholesome.
How do I apply to be the guy that waxes Simon's head before every video?

Walt Disney, a man who made imagination into a global entertainment company. Those who run it today may not be the ideal people but you cannot take away the genius that was Uncle Walt. As a writer and lover of all things fiction no matter how old I am, Walt Disney is an icon.
Simon thank you for sharing this video!! I was a Disneyland cast member for 11 years from '75 - '86. It was the best time of my life! We were paid well. The benefits were excellent. Full time employees could sign ourselves and 3 others into the Park whenever it was open with s couple evening exceptions. We had company parties and given collectibles. They even gave us stock! Castmembers referred to Uncle Walt but that was the way we saw him as young children on the TV.
I worked there 2003 to 2010. I would go back in a heartbeat.
They aren't paid well any more.
In fact they are currently paid poorly.
Thank you for uploading a video on Walt Disney. I've been waiting for this for a long time.
Walt Disney - The nostalgia of childhood.
I still cry and so does my oldest daughter every time we see Dumbo.
Now days there's always some issue about stereotypes, but that Movie
is one of the greatest emotional feel good endings ever! Injustice defeated.
Just one or two scenes in particular. But it was a movie of its time.
2:55 - Chapter 1 - Toilet paper & start ups
9:25 - Chapter 2 - House of mouse
11:00 - Chapter 3 - Your wish will soon come true
16:25 - Chapter 4 - A triumph of the imagination
I'd love a Biographics on Nefertiti, I find ancient Egypt fascinating!
Good show, old boy! As a resident of Orlando, we are ruled by the three circles of the Great Mouse God. Lol
I can second that!
I'm only 3 hours out from Orlando 😁
What if distant future archeologists think we worshiped Mickey Mouse as an actual deity? 😅
I have always adored fantasia, as a child, it made me want to learn to play piano, and nothing is more brilliant than Mary Poppins, except, just maybe, my fair lady or the sound of music,
This is a good representation of my memories of the history of Disney.
I'm not throwing shade at anyone here. Things are what they are and were what they were.
We all learn over time and Walt Disney is hero to a lot of people despite things we know he did that we wouldn't accept now. I look up to uncle Walt because his company brought me entertainment as a child.
Walt drove his children to school every day. What a great father!
@@THENEONJAY did you know the man personally? At least he didn't have the limo take them.
The small, unseen acts of kindness make a great father.
It’s little, but constant, things like that which help children prosper and for a family to function.
Another fact that know is that he regularly visits his home town in Missouri and planned for a Disneyland there hoping to give back to his town. The man overall I truly believe was a good man who had flaws but did care for the people he cared for which were quite a lot.

Biographics and cinemasins: hold our beers
You got a LOT wrong (listed it below). I'm an animator, so I know and have read EVERYTHING there is to know about Walt.
You got a lot right (especially concerning the strike), and I won't hit the THUMBS DOWN button, because you tried...
Walt was rejected from the Army because he was underage (15). He later falsified his birth certificate (to age 16) so he could join the Red Cross.
Walt never won a scholarship to the Kansas City Art Institute (he may have saved money to take a class or two there). After the war, Walt worked for the post office (seasonally for the holidays) and later Pesmin-Rubin as a temporary freelance artist. THAT's where he first met Ubbe Iwwerks (full name, shortened later to Ub Iwerks). After being laid off, and trying to start his own advertising art agency with Ub (which floundered), Walt got hired at Kansas City Film Ad Company, and later got Ub hired there. THAT's where he started to toy around with animation.
The women were called INKERS, not colorists (even later when cartoons switched to color).
His studio was initially called the Disney Brothers Studio, later WALT DISNEY STUDIO, not Walt Disney Cartoons.
Walt's breakdown in the 1930's was mainly caused from SEVERE overwork, and the pressures of keeping his small studio afloat. He worked long hours back then (he was always the last to leave the studio), sometimes seven days a week. As he said later, "I cracked up. I was expecting more from the men than they were able to give me, and all I did all day long was pound, pound, pound." BUT, in those ten years (from around 1929 to 1939) Walt's animators and artists practically re-invented animation, brought it from a crude medium (artistically) to an art form, and developed animation principles that are STILL USED TODAY.

Nowadays, it's not uncommon for cartoons and especially for anime to have variable framerate. Although colouring frames isn't expensive in the computer age, drawing them is. Slower scenes can be drawn at a lower framerate, thus reducing costs. Even anime that are known for flashy high budget scenes do this, diverting budget away from slow scenes and into those flashy scenes.
I love love the plug for Jeremy’s books! My two favorite channels in kahoots! Melt my heart!! 💜
One of my favorite Disney facts is that his cartoons were influential on early anime and manga. So we can partially thank Disney for the Japanese mediums that have spread around the world and influenced a whole new generation of creators (including myself, though I stick to horror literature).
Yup. Without Disney, no anime but unfortunately, many otakus hate Disney as they claim it's inferior to the masterpieces of NIPON!
So we can blame Disney as one of the factors that led to Weebery?
Fucking Hell...
I can't wait for the birdman to write a book called "everything wrong with jeremy's book"
Walt Disney is one of my biggest heroes as a businessman and an artist with big dreams and a visionary to see them through. Taking risks to make a grand empire.
Risks? Maybe, but he also stole vast amounts of intellectual property and uses the legal system to maintain copyright over what he stole.
@@shebbs1 Cool dude.
Yer Maw “I heard Walt Disney was a pedo! Where? Some guy. But I’ll stick to my guns about it without any evidence and call anyone who disagrees with me one too. A guy who made my childhood cartoons being such a pedo is edgy and against the norm. How unique I am to believe something so out there.” That is really embarrassing.
Yer Maw, Evidence?
Don't meet your Heroes. 😏
Love that you are giving Jeremy some love, you both have great channels. Very different but great.
3:14 Walt and the disney"s would make a great band name
Rest in peace 🙏

Walt disney was by far the most important man in hollywood
A good man. While my favorite film is in the renaissance of disney my love their work cannot be overstated
Finally! Thank God. I was surprised you guys haven't done him years ago.
Been to Hong Kong Disneyland, watched the PBS American Experience documentary about Walt Disney, watched the segment of Drunk History about him and Ub Iwerks, watched defunct Disneyland rides on Defunctland... now you tell me.
and Walt would hate what his company has become.......
Jeremy Smiech Iger is absolute trash! Roy and Walt would fume if they saw the kind of rehashed crap Iger’s peddling!
I worked at Disneyland for 7 years. Most if not all cast members would agree with you. It used to tear me up when assigned to stand under Walt's apartment for backstage blowout. This was done after fireworks on very crowded summer nights to ease congestion of guests leaving. However, Walt never would have allowed it. Guests should never see the dreary backstage area.
And why is that?
rulrules your have to do some research on how Walt paid, treated, and went about his business with the theme parks. It would take me a while to type them all out
@@veganismisamentalillness7909 Because Seeing the backstage breaks the immersion and ruins the experience of the park guest. Which was a fairly serious thing when Disney was alive. Cleaning ect was to be done at night ect. And it made the parks a standard bar none. Disney also did a LOT of research on parks and how to do things to the highest standards while also keeping a budget in mind.
My Mom had a chance to do animation for him in the 40's, but choose to raise a family instead. My whole life i was like. Thanks Mom!
😁😁
Ub Iwerks next and you have the roots of Disney. Max and Dave Fleischer would be great as well and on the theme of art & animation pioneers ...
Winsor McCay.
From Personally Driving Staff Home, to Feeling that Passionate about a production, that he felt the Need to Dismiss other Staff for what he felt was Bringing His Creations into Disrepute is not the sign of a "Tyrant". He was a Businessman and Innovative Creator who was ALWAYS PASSIONATE in his endeavors. If you are Passionate about something, it's never Just Business, IT'S PERSONAL!!! That's how people Succeed.
Another excellent video, as always! Now that Walt Disney was covered, it might be a good idea to tackle his greatest rival, Max Fleischer. Keep up the good work!
Walt Disney. Cool. Inspiration.
The current Disney empire. Down with it.
Edit: I did not expect that like!
"Snow White " and "Mary Poppins " were my favorite movies, and "Bambi. " And the Disney TV shows on Sunday nights! When I was a very young child!
Awesome video 🔥
7:15 Just for reference, that is Roy E. Disney, Walt’s nephew.
He would go on to be a memorable part in the Walt Disney Company, but he is not his father. I love Biographics, and know that this issue has probably been pointed out before. In any rate, continue what you are doing and best of luck to you!

You never mentioned Disney's most controversial film, "Song of the South." It also combined live action with animation and has some nice tunes. The Disney Company has vowed never to re-release the film and has removed it from their catalog.
Thought the same thing, trouble is they have a popular ride that is based off of brer rabbit and animated folks from that movie.
There’s surely a way Disney could release Song of the South that would place the film in an appropriate historical context, acknowledging its flaws while making the case for its importance (and the importance of not pretending it never existed) with an assortment of special features. But I’m not sure the public is missing much by not watching it, and Disney continuing to turn a blind eye to the bootlegs that exist in the digital space is arguably a lesser evil than trying to wring more profit from this thing by putting it out on a new Blu-ray.
It's long been available in Europe. Another interesting point is that when Walt saw the premier of "To Kill a Mockingbird" he said he wished he could make a movie like that but he was afraid the public would never accept a movie like that from him.
@@keithdean9149 You're right. I should have been more specific. The film has been pulled from distribution in the States, possibly all of North America. I'm not certain about the latter.
The highest quality copy I've seen was a transcoding off a PAL disc.
This is CZcams not the history channel
Thank you!

A True Story...
In the 1950s my dad visted a pal at work in Soho London, an when there his pal pointed to a man an said: do you know who that is? Then that man walked over an shook my dads hand an said i'm Walt Disney. This building still exists an is run by 20th century fox

Now owned by Disney. 😀
@@joseffthomas10 yes I noted that as I was typing it. The weird irony.
Top effort...thanks.
Still have my copy of Fantasia on VHS! One of my favorite things to watch as a kid and inspired by love for classical music.
About time for a video on good old Uncle Disney!
Thank you .
How trippy....it’s like I got some Cinemasins in my Simon Whistler....fun! It’s cool Cinemasins is big enough now to actually offer sponsorships 😮😄🥳
Great coverage. An equal thanks to his brother Roy for getting it all financed.
My favorite Disney movie is Mary Poppins.
Yay! You did do one!
CHARLES MINTZ, LIKE THE VILLIAN FROM UP! wow, this is why I am a fan of Disney! There are so many hidden details that just make it super interesting to watch
You should do a story about the "Columbus Day Storm of 1962" which hit Northern California, Western Oregon, Western Washington, and British Columbia. Damages and deaths were overwhelming.
Love your videos :)
I often tell my grandchildren Walt was told his ideas were impossible! 🤣
His old studio on the south side of 31st Street between Troost and Forest is boarded up, but marked with appropriate graffiti as a memorial mural. Many of the people who worked with him here made the move to California, and the list IS rather a "Who's Who" of early cinematic animation. There's also a location in the Crossroads District that celebrates his work.
I'd never herd of Cinema Sins until your promo.
I recommend looking them up. It’s accurate and hilarious
@@terryts2 Sarcasm?
Cinema Wins does a better job. I just got tired of Cinema Sins negativity and mostly redundant or unimportant criticisms.
@@terryts2 Check out the many 'whats wrong with cinema sins' videos made, they're far more accurate and hilariouser.
Also Music Video Sins- run by the same person. I have saved so much time and money from this channel- don't have to watch the movies but have seen enough to get a good idea
Ha! Two of my favourite channels coming together
Hmm you know what? I don't hate him anymore I just hate what his company has turned into.
Simon... have you done a bio on Ida Lupino???
Yay I'm pretty sure I requested this also if anyone is curious about Oswald the lucky rabbit, Jon Solo did a video on its history and how Oswald came back to the house that the mouse built.
Video on Disney song writers would be great! Alan menkin, Sherman brothers, John Williams - the sound track of so many lives
I would have never guessed that was what Jeremy looked like. Granted, I never gave it much thought, but that was not what I was otherwise expecting. Great channel he's got.
Walt was a great mind and innovator
thank you.
I'm a huge fan of Tom Savini. The FX wizard of gore. He's led such an interesting life. Would be wonderful if you did a Halloween special for October. Maybe Dario Argento, John Carpenter, Jamie Lee Curtis, Clive Barker.
I'm astounded that Fantasia wasn't a hit. When I was a child in the 80s my parents spoke about it with such reverence and I watched it nonstop. Even the scary bits with the dinosaurs and demon mountain.

I like seeing simon get more into the groove
Philo Farnsworth, forgotten inventor, early television pioneer, etc. Enough said.
The link to your new channel doesn't work.
"So now you might be asking 'Mortimer who??'"
Nah... anyone interested in watching a video about Walt Disney knows exactly who Mortimer Mouse is/was.
Plus didnt he become a character too? He was like the Wario to Mario
Very interesting.
Please do Sepp Dietrich next. Your one on Rienhard Heydrich was great
I recently watched another video from Literature Devil that asked the question, which is more heroic? A hero for whom doing the right thing is easy and takes no risks in doing so a hero that is flawed and works hard to overcome those flaws in order to do the right thing.
do a video on Kerouac or Burroughs, crazy, crazy lives
that "nervous breakdown" was just looked over.
I think watching Epic Rap Battles of History: Jim Henson vs Stan Lee is important.
That is the most inaccurate trash I've seen in AGES. Stan Lee was a HUGE fan of Walt's. Adored the guy. That whole thing is a total hackjob, do not look to it for factual info.
Can you please do one on the Outlaw Jesse James
It's like a wish come true, two of my subscribed channels giving each other shoutouts

So... animators have been perverted since the beginning.
This, oddly fills me with a sense of pride, and I can't draw worth sh&^$
What if they weren't? That would mark a milestone for Walt to be an empathetic philanthropist.
Can you please do a video on Basil Rathbone?
Man that's a lot of smoke
