So the cult even of personality and even in recent squabbles with the Disney family about using Walt as an animatronic figure and, you know, it sort of gets into this weird space of like, um...
The avatar of Walt versus the real human of Walt versus the innovator of Walt.
And then, of course, the business practices of Walt.
That's a very complicated thing.
You've lived in it, but I'm a casual observer.
One interesting thing I found in poking around in your story is that you're and you're Mildred is your grandmother.
Yeah.
They met in Los Angeles.
Is that true?
But they got married here.
And of course, Walt and Lily and Disney were the witnesses of the wedding.
So I think that that because oftentimes people overlook the familial ties.
And yes, it's business and things go on.
But that I think that's at the root of this relationship that continues with you to the Disney world to this day.
Is that fair?
To be fair to all of them, I mean, there's no way they could have possibly dreamed it was going to turn into what it turned into.
