An Evening with Walt Disney - Walt Disney's Final Appearance (Oct 27, 1966)
On Oct 27, 1966, the same day Walt Disney filmed his EPCOT presentation film, he also filmed this. It was meant to be shown before the premiere of Follow Me, Boys! at Radio City Music Hall in December but was withheld because Walt had died. When you see this footage and hear him talk about how he can't get away from the studio and you realize he's actually a sick man nearing his deathbed, you can't help but get a little misty-eyed.
Follow Me, Boys! is a forgotten film but it was a story that resonated with Walt. Whenever he cast Fred MacMurry in a role it was because Walt saw himself in that role. Follow Me, Boys! was also the first Disney film starring Kurt Russell who would go on to enjoy a career of Disney films well into the 1970's. Kurt has discussed his friendship with Walt many times over the years. Walt also created the role for Lillian Gish in that film as the emotional heart of the story because he wanted to give her the work.
In a lot of ways, this film is Walt telling the world goodbye whether he realized it of not. The world lost one of the most innovative figures of all time when Walt Disney passed away and this channel exists so you can rediscover the things he did.
