WDW Radio # 730 – The True Story of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures

This week, we look at the origins of Walt Disney’s True Life Adventure series, the Academy Award winning films that were not only entertaining, but important. I am joined by Didier Ghez, author of “The Origins of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures.” We’ll explore how and why Walt Disney started making documentary films, including his personal attention to and concerns about the vanishing frontier, and how these films helped influence the way that nature and conservation were and are portrayed in media.

Thanks to Didier Ghez from the Disney History blog for joining me this week. Check out Didier’s extensive books he’s authored on Amazon, including “The Origins of Walt Disney’s True-Life Adventures”
