What was the secret to Walt Disney’s success? In a new video for PragerU, “Walt Disney: American Dreamer,” conservative radio host and author Glenn Beck pays tribute to the iconic American visionary. Starting with his humble beginnings in rural Missouri, Beck describes Disney’s tireless pursuit of his vision, which took him across the country to Hollywood where he would launch his small animation company that — with the help of America’s embrace of the free market — would have an immeasurable impact on popular culture.
“I want to tell you about an American Original, a man who saw into the future and made it a reality,” Beck begins. “He isn’t the only one to do this. There were American Originals before him, Benjamin Franklin, the Wright Brothers, John D. Rockefeller. And there are American Originals in our time like Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, Elon Musk. But in the middle of the twentieth century, there was no better example than Walt Disney. Fifty years after his death, his name still stands atop a global empire.”
