This isn't corporate Disney: it's Walt the person, the dreamer, the flawed genius. The galleries trace his journey from Missouri farm boy to Hollywood pioneer with rare honesty, including the painful 1941 animators' strike. You'll leave with a Golden Gate view and a surprisingly emotional connection to the man behind the mouse.
