Colibel Terrible acting, screenplay and direction.

BlazeLime Strong and Moving!

Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.

Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

Kris The story of the beginning of a great artist... One of the most magnificent artist in modern history, and we get this?A lot of the acting was stiff and lacked passion as well as compassion. It was like watching an amateuremovie... The setting was alright, partly the cinematography too, though i would expect something more bright and vivid when telling the story of an artist... Anyway... The Disney family moves to Marceline - and young Disney learns important advices for future life. Already at that point in the movie, the poor acting shines through - or is it the directing, that lacks compassion?- I can't tell. The lines are great and quotable... But lacks life. :( And that's pretty much the same for the rest of the movie as the Disneys move on from one place to another.Well, Elias Disney was great - and Walt the older grew by it.the story IS worth telling, so watch the movie, if you want the story behind Disney. But if' you're looking for a good time... find another movie. I'm so sorry... And the Ending? - I would expect some scenes from the successful Disney Studios - delivering something known - you know - to end the circle... So don't expect it. It won't happen.

essencerose82 The film starts out with Walt being a young and somewhat troublesome boy, and is narrated well. However, that's where the good part of this review stops. I wish I had more good things to say, but I simply can't think of one more thing that I actually liked about this.I was so excited to watch this. Walt Disney's life would have made such an excellent film, IF it weren't for the over the top cheesy acting that pretty much made the movie almost painful to watch. I kept hoping that it would get better. I caught glimpses of what could have been greatness, but it fell flat and left me feeling extremely disappointed. The concept was great... if only the casting would have been done by someone who knew what good acting should look like. If you can make it past the bad acting, the story itself is fascinating.

allthecatsjoinin2015 This movie may be a independent film but I would think the Director would know bad acting and lines as if they were reading them. thumbs down. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME.I should have guessed if it was not endorsed by Disney it would be a complete flop. The fact that the hidden religion in the film us a big turn off. I have seen better Student films.I have absolutely no issue with Christianity or people having faith. However, the attempt at cramming a Christian message inappropriately throughout the entire movie was distracting and far too excessive. Frankly, instead of inspiring me I was left incredibly uncomfortable - not because it was a religious message - but because of how forced it felt.Coincidentally the only "professional" review (also mysteriously positive) was from a Christian review site. Be you an avid Disney fan or someone merely curious about the life of an amazing man, I would hold out until the Walt Disney Corporation itself does a proper biopic. Stay as far away as possible from this lemon. You'll be doing yourself a favor

Becky VanMeter I adore Walt Disney and how his dreams became reality. A great man like Walt Disney deserves a wonderful film to highlight his achievements. There were some inspirational moments in the film. Unfortunately, it was filled with less than stellar acting. At one point Walt Disney is sitting with a little girl in front of a white drawing board and talks with her about imagination. He says he hopes "we meet your expectations". Wish this film had met mine. The movie ends prematurely. It should have moved forward through the heartache to the successes. It's the moment things started going his way we all long to see.As one good Christian watching out after another, this film does offer many positives, but it missed the mark.
