VAN DYKE: In 1964,

_________________________________

on opening night of Mary Poppins,

_________________________________

Walter Elias Disney had reached

_________________________________

the pinnacle of his career.

_________________________________

The man who arrived in Hollywood

_________________________________

some 40 years earlier

_________________________________

with a half-finished cartoon

in his suitcase

_________________________________

had become one of the leading figures

_________________________________

of filmed entertainment.

_________________________________

I tried to convince her I was capable

_________________________________

of making a picture with live actors

_________________________________

as well as cartoons.

_________________________________

I didn't know what she thought about...

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: Who was Walt Disney?

_________________________________

Even those who worked

with him for years

_________________________________

often struggled to define the man.

_________________________________

For many, he remains an enigma.

_________________________________

Two years after the

Mary Poppins premiere,

_________________________________

Walt was dead,

_________________________________

and the enigma began

to pass into myth.

_________________________________

Walt was born in Chicago in 1901

_________________________________

to Flora and Elias Disney,

_________________________________

in a house his father had constructed

_________________________________

with his own hands.

_________________________________

Elias was a contractor who

built a number of home

_________________________________

As well as the church

in the neighborhood.

_________________________________

When Walt was four,

the Disney family moved

_________________________________

to Marceline, Missouri.

_________________________________

Walt would always have

fond memories of Marceline,

_________________________________

but for the rest of the family,

_________________________________

farm life was hard.

_________________________________

His mother was a warm,

loving, wonderful woman.

_________________________________

I wish I'd known her better.

_________________________________

My father adored her.

_________________________________

They were a good family.

_________________________________

ROY EDWARD: Well, Flora was

_________________________________

sort of my favorite

grandmother all along.

_________________________________

She was, uh, more fun

than a barrel of monkeys

_________________________________

and she loved kids, kind of not unlike

_________________________________

the way Walt did, I think.

_________________________________

Um, Elias, was a little more...

_________________________________

A lot more aloof.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE:

Walt had three older brothers,

_________________________________

Herbert, Raymond, and Roy,

_________________________________

who was eight years older than Walt.

_________________________________

When he was two years old,

_________________________________

his mother gave birth ate a little girl.

_________________________________

Her name was Ruth.

_________________________________

Elias came down with typhoid.

_________________________________

He recovered,

_________________________________

but farming was no longer

possible for him.

_________________________________

In 1911, the Disney house was sold,

_________________________________

and the family left for

Kansas City, Missouri.

_________________________________

In Kansas City, Walt was put to work

_________________________________

for the first time in his life.

_________________________________

It was a tough job, too.

_________________________________

Elias had purchased a newspaper route,

_________________________________

and counted on his

two boys Walt and Roy

_________________________________

to service it.

_________________________________

I was about nine or ten

when I started that,

_________________________________

but they'd deliver our papers at 4:30,

_________________________________

then we had to get up and be there

_________________________________

at 4:30 in the morning.

_________________________________

The newspaper route

_________________________________

took a lot of Walt Disney's time,

_________________________________

and he did not have a lot of time

_________________________________

for school, and didn't have a lot of time

_________________________________

to prepare for school,

_________________________________

and so, um, he wasn't a great student.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: At about this time,

_________________________________

the Disney's moved to a bigger house

_________________________________

at 3028 Bellefontaine in Kansas City.

_________________________________

Here Walt became friends with a boy

_________________________________

named Walt Pfeiffer.

_________________________________

The Pfeiffers were a jolly crowd

_________________________________

who took their children

to vaudeville shows

_________________________________

and the local cinema.

_________________________________

Walt studied the vaudeville acts

_________________________________

and memorized the gags.

_________________________________

The two boys liked

Charlie Chaplin above all,

_________________________________

and developed a series of skits

_________________________________

inspired by "The Tramp."

_________________________________

WALT PFEIFFER:

Together we had a little act.

_________________________________

He was the straight man

with me as Chaplin...

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: Elias didn't quite know

_________________________________

what to make of it.

_________________________________

DIANE: Elias was probably

_________________________________

not too much out of style

for patriarchs of his day.

_________________________________

He sounds a little tough to us now,

_________________________________

But he did it all for love of his family.

_________________________________

He just wanted to keep

that family together,

_________________________________

keep 'em good,

keep the boys out of trouble,

_________________________________

you know, get 'em

to goin' down the right road,

_________________________________

and to his credit,

_________________________________

when Dad wanted to take art lessons,

_________________________________

wanted to be an artist,

Elias arranged for him

_________________________________

to have some art lessons,

made it possible for him.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: In June of 1917,

Walt graduated

_________________________________

from the seventh grade

at Benton School.

_________________________________

The income from the newspaper route

_________________________________

had enabled Elias to invest

_________________________________

in a jelly firm in Chicago,

_________________________________

the O-Zell company,

_________________________________

and so, while Flora, Elias, and Ruth

_________________________________

went off to Chicago,

_________________________________

fifteen-year-old Walt stayed

with his brother Herb

_________________________________

for the summer.

_________________________________

He got a job as a news butch,

_________________________________

selling soda pop and newspapers

_________________________________

to passengers on the railroad.

_________________________________

When summer ended,

_________________________________

Walt joined his parents

and sister in Chicago.

_________________________________

I think he was pretty thoroughly decided

_________________________________

that he wanted to do something

with his drawing,

_________________________________

and he drew some cartoons

_________________________________

for the school paper.

_________________________________

SMITH: People say that Walt

_________________________________

wasn't a great artist, he didn't draw a lot.

_________________________________

Well, that was true in later years.

_________________________________

But he had an art talent.

_________________________________

We have drawings of Walt's that he did

_________________________________

when he was fifteen years old,

_________________________________

and these are very good drawings

_________________________________

for a fifteen-year-old.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE:

Walt's cartoons now showed

_________________________________

his growing interest in the Great War

_________________________________

that was being fought in Europe.

_________________________________

ROY EDWARD: It was really

the thing to be patriotic

_________________________________

and to want to help out your country.

_________________________________

SMITH: Walt was only

_________________________________

sixteen years old, though.

_________________________________

There was no way that they were gonna

_________________________________

let him into the army or the navy.

_________________________________

Well, finally he heard of a...

_________________________________

Of a Red Cross Unit forming

_________________________________

that would take seventeen-year-olds,

_________________________________

and he figured he could manage that,

_________________________________

'cause that was only a year off.

(LAUGHS)

_________________________________

So after his mother had signed

_________________________________

his passport application,

_________________________________

he did a little forgery on it

_________________________________

and changed the birth year.

_________________________________

So, uh, he became

a seventeen-year-old

_________________________________

and was able to get into the Red Cross

_________________________________

with a friend of his from school.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: In 1918,

Germany signed an armistice.

_________________________________

However,

the Red Cross ambulance corps

_________________________________

still needed more drivers to help

_________________________________

with post-war operations in France.

_________________________________

Walt arrived in France

and was put to work

_________________________________

making deliveries, driving ambulances,

_________________________________

or chauffeuring important officers.

_________________________________

He took up smoking.

_________________________________

It developed into a lifelong addiction.

_________________________________

Walt painted his truck

_________________________________

and sent drawings home to magazines.

_________________________________

They were all rejected.

_________________________________

By September of 1919,

_________________________________

the ambulance corps

had finished its work,

_________________________________

and Walt returned home.

_________________________________

He no longer thought of himself

_________________________________

as a kid from Missouri,

_________________________________

but a grown man

who had seen the world.

_________________________________

Walt made up his mind

to go back to Kansas City.

_________________________________

He said, "I wanna be an artist."

_________________________________

And, of course, Elias was shocked.

_________________________________

He said, "You can't make

a living as an artist."

_________________________________

Walt said, "I'm gonna try."

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: Elias and Flora

moved back to Kansas City.

_________________________________

Roy, who had been

discharged from the Navy,

_________________________________

and older brother Herbert

and his wife Louise

_________________________________

lived with them in the old Disney house

_________________________________

on Bellefontaine Street.

_________________________________

Walt decided to join them.

_________________________________

So there were quite a lot of us there.

_________________________________

There were five children

_________________________________

and, uh, they were all living at home.

_________________________________

I had lots of, uh, wonderful uncles

_________________________________

who just thought I was the cutest,

_________________________________

and so I'm afraid I might

have been a bit spoiled.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: Shortly thereafter,

_________________________________

Walt got a job at the

Pesman-Rubin Art Studio.

_________________________________

while at Pesman-Rubin,

_________________________________

he met a quiet, but highly

talented young man

_________________________________

named Ub Iwerks.

_________________________________

The two young men started

a little company of their own.

_________________________________

SMITH: They weren't able

_________________________________

to make much of a living with this.

_________________________________

I mean, they were just

barely making enough

_________________________________

to get by,

_________________________________

and then they saw an ad in the paper

_________________________________

for the Kansas City Slide Company,

_________________________________

and so Walt left Ub

_________________________________

to run the partnership,

_________________________________

and, uh, he was hired,

_________________________________

and eventually Ub joined him there.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: It was at

Kansas City film ad

_________________________________

that Walt was first introduced

_________________________________

to animated films, cartoons.

_________________________________

Of course, they were very

crude things then,

_________________________________

and I used, uh,

_________________________________

oh, sort of little puppet things.

_________________________________

We didn't draw them like we do today.

_________________________________

I used to make little cut-out things,

_________________________________

and joints were pinned,

_________________________________

and we'd put 'em under the camera

_________________________________

and we'd maneuver them

and make 'em do things.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: Walt spent hours

at the Kansas City Library

VAN DYKE: Journalists who

attended the event

_________________________________

were struck by Walt's appearance.

_________________________________

Walt looked gaunt and drawn,

_________________________________

but no one suspected

_________________________________

there was something

far more serious ahead.

_________________________________

I was doing a storyboard,

_________________________________

and the room was filled

with my crew and so forth,

_________________________________

and he got in a coughing jag,

_________________________________

and his face turned red.

_________________________________

Anyway, he kind of bent over,

_________________________________

and I said, "For gosh sakes, Walt,

_________________________________

why don't you give up smoking?"

_________________________________

And he said, "Well, guys,

_________________________________

a guy's gotta have

a few vices, don't he?"

_________________________________

Something like that.

_________________________________

DIANE: He was going to have surgery

_________________________________

on the back of his neck. That was set.

_________________________________

They were going to fix this problem

_________________________________

that the old polo injury was causing,

_________________________________

and my mother came

to my door one morning.

_________________________________

She said,

_________________________________

"They took an x-ray

of your father's lung,

_________________________________

and they found a lump

the size of a walnut."

_________________________________

VAN DYKE:

Walt's doctors recommended

_________________________________

2584 01:49:30,797 01:49:33,800 THAT HE IMMEDIATELY UNDERGO SURGERY.

_________________________________

Then we turned to him and said,

_________________________________

"Are you worried about

going to the hospital?"

_________________________________

And Walt says,

"You're damn right I am."

_________________________________

And we thought he was going in

_________________________________

because of his old polo injury,

_________________________________

but, uh, that wasn't it.

_________________________________

So we were all there sitting in the room,

_________________________________

and the surgeon

came in after the surgery,

_________________________________

and he said, "Well,

_________________________________

"that was just as I suspected.

_________________________________

"uh, it had...

The tumor had metastasized.

_________________________________

I give him six months to two years."

_________________________________

Of course, it was like

_________________________________

dropping a bomb in that room.

_________________________________

To me, the most poignant story

_________________________________

of this whole last time

_________________________________

is his last visit to the studio lot.

_________________________________

Just looking at this place

_________________________________

that he had built,

_________________________________

there people that he brought along,

_________________________________

done these amazing things,

_________________________________

and knowing he had

to leave it all behind.

_________________________________

And then he stopped

about 20 feet away,

_________________________________

and he turned,

_________________________________

and he said, "Good-bye, Marc."

_________________________________

He never said that to anybody before.

_________________________________

HENCH: Roy Disney explained to me

_________________________________

that he, in his last visit

to Walt in the hospital,

_________________________________

he said, "I knew I was

gonna lose my brother then."

_________________________________

He said, "Because here he was,

_________________________________

he was talking very excited

about the Florida project."

_________________________________

Walt saw the complete map, evidently,

_________________________________

of the Florida project

_________________________________

on the ceiling above his bed.

_________________________________

(ORCHESTRAL MUSIC PLAYING)

_________________________________

DIANE: And as we got off

the elevator on the floor,

_________________________________

I saw Ron go striding into Dad's room

_________________________________

and then come out

with his arms up like that,

_________________________________

as though someone pushed him back,

_________________________________

and, uh, when we went into the room,

_________________________________

I don't really...

_________________________________

Dad, you know,

his hands were on his chest,

_________________________________

and he was gone.

_________________________________

And Uncle Roy was standing

at the foot of his bed,

_________________________________

and he was massaging

one of Dad's feet,

_________________________________

just kind of caressing it,

_________________________________

and he was talking to him, you know?

_________________________________

I don't know, it sounded something like,

_________________________________

"Well, kid, this is the end, I guess."

_________________________________

You know, and that sort of thing.

_________________________________

And, uh, and I saw his love

_________________________________

as I've never seen it before.

_________________________________

VAN DYKE: It was 9:30 A.M.

on December 15th,

_________________________________

just 10 days after his 65th birthday.

_________________________________

I cried in my wife's lap.

_________________________________

It put an end to a marvelous era.

_________________________________

I lay awake all night long.

_________________________________

I couldn't sleep,

_________________________________

trying to think what's

going to happen next.

EBSEN: They announced

Walt's passing,

_________________________________

and then they cut in
