*Just as another clarification, Walt Disney adored his children to the point of obsession, and there was never a whisper of any impropriety. He loved all children, sorta why he did what he did, you know. And for someone that's supposedly an anti semite, his first partner was jewish, his head man ub iwerks was jewish and a very large number of his animators and employees were jewish. Kind of makes the point a bit moot.*

Try doing a google search on Disney and anti-semitism. There's plenty of information floating around on the subject.

Sure, he's got his defenders, too.

As in so much else, it depends upon who one chooses to listen to.

Personally, I believe that the evidence is there. Although admittedly, he wasn't as outspoken on the subject as some others were. As I indicated earlier: a closet anti-semite.

In early 1940, Walt Disney was thinking of taking his studio public and asked Ford for his advice on the enterprise. Ford expressed his admiration for Disney because he was a successful Protestant in the film business- a field dominated by Jews. However; Ford warned, Jews also controlled the stock market, and Disney would be wise to sell his company outright rather than lose it to "them" one piece at a time. Disney, who may have had anti-Semitic leanings of his own, thanked Ford for his advice.
