Disney historian Jim Korkis takes a different approach to Walt Disney biography in Call Me Walt. Rather than presenting Walt simply as the familiar “Uncle Walt” figure or concentrating on criticism of him, Korkis examines competing stories and claims using interviews, contemporary media reports, Walt’s own words, and historical research.
That makes this a useful companion to traditional Walt Disney biographies. It’s aimed particularly at readers who’ve already encountered many of the familiar stories about Walt and want to examine where those stories came from, which are supported by evidence, and where the real person was more complicated than the popular image.
