What a movie, very good actors and a unpredictable story. The movie is exciting until the end. Watch the movie if you love inspiring movies. You can learn a lot from the movie.Like that you should never give up your dreams. And that not everything in the life will go the way you want it.People often assume that successful people have become successful without problems.But the truth is that everyone has ups and downs. This is not a fairy tail it is based on a true story. If it was up to me the movie could last longer.I found it really good.The story is so good that it feels if you're there. At sometimes i got the feeling that i wanted to help Walt. A really great movie.

Who better than teen movie "American Pie"'s own Thomas Ian Nicholas to play one of the most celebrated, influential, and history-changing personalities of all time, the creator of Mickey Mouse himself, Walt Disney?In a casting choice that I'm sure will baffle most, Nicholas, with his boyish good looks (or despite them) is most surely not the right choice for the role. But it's not "Walt Before Mickey's" only pitfall, even if it's the worst.As a whole, the movie feels flat, uninspired, and at times downright depressing, bordering on awful late night soap opera drama from old days that have since been forgotten.There's no one of particular note on the cast, the story (as often happens with biopics) feels rushed, while at times slumping away, and the final product just feels very unfinished. (The sound people in particular, it seems, couldn't have cared less edgewise.)Which is actually sad, considering the subject matter at hand: the rise of an immensely prominent figure, not just in the United States, but across the world. There simply wouldn't have been a "Snow White", a "Cinderella", and countless other animated works of fiction that brought a whole genre to the mainstream and made Disney the household powerhouse that it is today, were it not for Walt Disney.I checked the IMDb rating before even watching the movie, and was rather surprised. "How can it possibly be so poor, given the subject?" And alas, unfortunately it is.So other than Tom Hanks' "Saving Mr. Banks", which deals with a more advanced stage in Walt Disney's career, I'm afraid we'll have to wait for a movie that will actually pay a worthy homage to the man himself, and will be heralded in movie history as such.

With the Hollywood machine pounding out flesh-eating, filthy, violent, promiscuous stories by the hundreds each year, it's refreshing when anyone comes along and is willing to take on a "politically incorrect" story about ordinary human beings. Walt was not a super-hero, and this earlier look at his life gives us plenty of thoughtful insight into his character (flaws included), and his tough beginnings. If we want, we can tear apart the acting, the writing, the filming. But I don't want to do that. Here's the simple fact. If a movie doesn't have gore and sex a-plenty, then the big studios will NOT even look at it. With the exception of course of the "art" films that toe the Hollywood line of bull, and satisfy the Academy's lust for twisted entertainment.Sorry, but I like the story. And as a professional musician, I say this. People might like it if they actually shut off their "fast- paced critical mindset" and tried to open their minds up to the fact that not everyone has to buy into what's currently worshiped by the "sheople" in the crowds. That's how music is. I don't have to like every sound in the performance to love the song. Sometimes the song is enough.In this case, I'd recommend this to any family, any adults, anyone younger, as a true look at an influential man's beginnings, and how he got his start bringing joy to others.

Don't let the preface of this movie deceive you. The director must have smoked some of that extra special, because he's on some next level garbage. No thumbs up; this makes me wish I was a leper. Kindergarten school play acting fools. Thomas Nicholas needs to stick to that satirical American Pie type 'ish for real. Walt doing triple back flips in his grave, or wait this dude was frozen right? He probably got shook and shattered that cryogenic chamber just to show the back of his Pedo hand to the directors like "SURPRISE DIANE".Do your self a favor and spend that hour and forty minutes with Donald Trumps wife so she can tell you stories about their sex life, because that's honestly probably less painful to take in. Imagine if Rosie O'Donald and Mr. Trump both had a sex reassignment surgery and switched parts then made a dominatrix tape that was leaked by Anonymous world wide like some U2 iTunes scam... still not as horrible as this movie. LOL it would probably be called "The Rosie O'Donald Trump Chronicles".
