Flyerplesys Perfectly adorable
Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
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.
fhelipe-d i was very excited that this movie was about Walt Disney until i got 1 minute into the movie where i was cringing at how awful the scripting was written as pure emphasis on just blurting out what happened rather than making a film out of the story. the film did not give me any incentive to watch on. There was no sense of realism and follow on to the movie, rather just meaningless scenes. There was NO character development what so ever and like the summary states just a really awful movie to watch. i REALLY wanted to find out how Walt Disney came to be but the TERRIBLE story line and writing didn't allow me to find anything out as i found myself shaking from how poor it was in every sense of imagination.
Jeremy Warning, only watch this movie if you can stomach really bad acting.The fact that IMDb gave this a 7.5 out of 10 will forever negate any credibility the rating has in my eyes. The storyline is fine, but the acting and dialog is terrible. I find it ironic that the story of the founder of a brand known for rich media and superb entertainment is portrayed in such a pitiful manner. I guess Disney didn't think it was worth the investment to do the film itself.I'm not sure I would even recommend this movie for Walt Disney fans. It does a good job with the story, but the acting may tarnish whatever reputation he has in your mind.
Jordan Ardoin As Dreamers Do does an excellent job of telling Walt Disney's story. It has some very emotional family scenes that will make you both laugh and cry. The great thing about this film is that it focuses on the difficulties that Disney went through as a young man, rather than on his triumphs. In doing this, it gives a new and different view of a well-known icon, while at the same time reminding us all that no matter how grim things look, there is always hope. Olan Rogers portrays Walt Disney perfectly, and the rest of the cast (namely Ryan Dunlap, who plays Roy Disney) is spot on as well. When you watch the movie, you can see and feel that every single person who worked on it poured everything they had into it. I definitely recommend this film, for the whole family!
