PRAGER UNIVERSITY: Walt Disney - American Dreamer

"We teach what isn’t taught." - Dennis Prager

This semester of Prager University is presented by:  Glenn Beck

"[I]n the middle of the 20th Century there was no better example (of an American original) than Walt Disney...Men like Disney are rare, but far less so in America...In America, the only limit to your ambition is your own imagination. And if we want more American originals like Walt Disney, let's hope we keep it that way." – G.B.

"'Steamboat Willie,' in 1928, starring an early version of a whistling Mickey Mouse, confirmed Disney's belief that there was an audience, a very large audience, for what he wanted to produce.  By 1933, Mickey was the largest star in the world...[B]y the 40's, Disney's creative restlessness kicked in again.  This time he had a new vision.  He wanted to create a new kind of entertainment experience.  Not 2-D, but a 3-D world.  He called it a 'theme park'...Disney built his park.  Disneyland soon became another iconic Disney creation.  A fantasy destination of every child on Earth." – G.B.
