I'd love to see something like that. If they did do this, who would you like to see play in it? Perhaps some tall lanky guy like adrian brodey could play walt. Put a mustache on him, and it could work!

If you've ever read it, it's similar to "Walt Disney: An American Original" by Rob Thomas. I haven't watched it in a long time, but I remember it being pretty good. It's still on sale at disneyshopping.com, and they have a description of it: <a href="http://disneyshopping.go.com/DSSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_Id=13533&Product_Id=120276" target="_blank">http://disneyshopping.go.com/D SSectionPage.process?Merchant_Id=2&Section_Id=13533&Product_Id=120276</a>

Regardless of some people's feelings towards Eisner, his words that night were very appropriate and caring.
