Yes, Walt had a dream -- the dream to make lots and lots of money while working as little as possible so he'd have more time and resources to build little railways in his garden. :P He was always overrated if you ask me.

you know pixar makes really good movies and they do make a lot of disney movies but hey walt did have good dream make money by doing something cool cartoons
Well I heard he was always a producer, as in he created his characters and stories and then had other people do the animating. He never actually sat down and drew the individual frames of a movie himself. I *might* be wrong here, but I'm quite sure that's the way it was.
Don't get me wrong, he was very good at what he did and created some fantastic stuff -- and came up with quite a few brilliant technologies that are now used in the making of just about every new cartoon -- and without him cartoons probably wouldn't exist any more. I think he was a genius, and he put his heart and soul into making his movies. But to say he had a "vision" is just a little over the top for me. At the end of the day he was just some dude making his money.

yes but that's what we all are
Yup, true -- I never said there was anything wrong with it...
Pixar is actually no longer working with Disney as of a few months ago. Another example of what's happening to Disney under Eisner's leadership. Pixar was the best thing Disney had going for it. Besides their movies, the only interesting thing Disney's made in the last five years has been "The Emperor's New Groove" and "Pirates of the Carrabean."
And on the Subject of Walt, I read in several books about Disney that he was kind of an asshole to his employees. I mean, Eisner can be an asshole too IF he can produce magical works at the same time like Walt did.
