With the money raised from the farm, Walt’s father bought a newspaper dealership and Walt and his brother Roy would wake up at 3.30 in the morning and deliver the papers before school. As a result, the decision was made to auction off the farm and the family moved to Kansas City. The doctor advised his father that if he continued to work the large farm on his own he could be headed for an early grave. The doctor was so impressed with the sketch he paid Walt five cents for it and hung it in his office.Ī little while later, the same doctor was called to the family farm where Walt’s father had fallen ill. A local doctor saw his sketches and asked Walt to sketch his stallion. Walt was thrilled and began sketching as much as possible. His Auntie not only thought he was good at painting, she thought it was a good way for him to express himself too, so she bought him a pad and some pencils. He also already had a passion for painting and drawing. Walter was the youngest of four sons (Herbert born 1888, Raymond born 1890, Roy born 1893, Walt born 1901) and he had a younger sister too (Ruth born 1903).įrom the age of six, Walt helped around the farm, herding the pigs into their pen. Walt Disney was born on the 5th December 1901 in Chicago but his first memories are of the farm that his family lived on in Missouri, as his family moved there when he was young. He is likable with plenty of his own struggles. Her boyfriend Shrimp is truly an interesting character. CC is a flawed character but she most definitely can and is lovable.

There are lots of good reasons for these perceptions, some of which are her fault, but most are circumstances beyond her control. But I actually see her as a deeply wounded young girl trying way too hard to be grown up and unsure of herself and confused about the love that is clearly in front of her. I could see that perception, because at times that's how she comes across on the surface. Other reviewers mention that the main character Cyd Charisse is a whiny, obnoxious, spoiled brat.

Ridiculous plot (the "crazed" killer was laughable), and very cardboard characters - the parents trying to decide in a very stagey way whether or not to install spy software on their son's computer and then discovering a strange exchange of instant messages, the bitch lawyer who has never had kids, blah blah blah. For Tia and Mike Baye, the question they must answer is this: when it comes to your kids, is it possible to know too much?
