Not real in every possible way, but I would love to see this movie

You know what'd be cool? If they made this, but turned it into a psychological thriller.

Like, Mickey starts to break out of his mind and Walt Disney starts to go crazy and eventually, all his characters drive him insane.

The fade shot is a voice over of someone saying how respected and wonderful he was and no one but the audience knows just how fucked up he was.

If there a book and movie called Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter?
That fits that genre.

The thing is, if Disney did make a biopic of Walt Disney, it would be sugar coated schmaltz. I don't think they'd touch the more questionable aspects of his life story.

We have Robot Chicken for that.

No, a film I wouldn't ever want to see.

Since I posted that, I have since realised the genre isn't exactly an original idea at all .

@Octo: Also, do share. Questionable aspects of Walt Disney? I want to know! .

The documentary "Walt and El Grupo" touches on animator strikes back in the day, but is mostly about how he went to South American for the sake of running a propaganda campaign against the Nazi's. I never finished it because it's a rather boring film. :/

Wasn't he also supposedly anti-Semitic? That's the rumor, but I'm not sure if it is true.

From Walt Disney's wiki:

Antisemitism accusations

Disney was long rumored to be antisemitic during his lifetime, and such rumors have persisted after his death. Indeed, in the 1930s he welcomed German filmmaker and Nazi propagandist Leni Riefenstahl to Hollywood.[100] Disney biographer Neal Gabler, the first writer to gain unrestricted access to the Disney archives, concluded in 2006 that available evidence does not support such accusations. In a CBS interview Gabler summarized his findings:

“ That's one of the questions everybody asks me... My answer to that is, not in the conventional sense that we think of someone as being an antisemite. But he got the reputation because, in the 1940s, he got himself allied with a group called the Motion Picture Alliance for the Preservation of American Ideals, which was an anti-Communist and antisemitic organization. And though Walt himself, in my estimation, was not antisemitic, nevertheless, he willingly allied himself with people who were antisemitic, and that reputation stuck. He was never really able to expunge it throughout his life.[101] ”

Disney eventually distanced himself from the Motion Picture Alliance in the 1950s.[102]

He most likely wasn't antisemitic, but it seemed to have bleed out into pop culture, you may have seen jokes like this:

Also it didn't help that Hitler was a fan of Disneys and drew the characters:
