Team Mousetalgia discusses "American Experience: Walt Disney," and we offer our first impressions and questions - then we welcome Disney historian Joseph Titizian back to the show for a balanced critical perspective on the documentary from a friend of the Disney/Miller family. Titizian discusses new information from the Walt Disney Archives on Walt\'s own words about his childhood and his relationship with his father; the truth about Lilian Disney; Walt\'s feelings about Snow White and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences; critical missing information in the film\'s own narrative; fascinating never-seen footage from the animators\' strike; and where the film gets it right and gets it wrong about Disneyland\'s place in mid-century history. We also wonder why Cal Arts and the World\'s Fair are absent, despite being critical elements of Walt\'s life. Also, Mousetalgia\'s Force Friday wrap-up: BB8, Star Wars pajamas and Legos rule the day, as well as Star Wars edibles. Plus - another Mousetalgia listener wins Disneyland\'s Diamond Days sweepstakes!
