True Life DVD Signing with Roy Disney

innerSpaceman · 11-22-2006, 09:41 AM

While I admire the stuff that Roy Jr. has done, it cannot escape me that Walt disliked him instensely. (He's a blood nephew, btw, nothing to do with marriage.)

As I don't know Roy personally, and allowing for growth and change, I'm certainly an admirer.

But he's no legend .... and the legend didn't like him.

Ooops

I was thinking of Ron Miller, not Roy!

So Walt didn't care for Roy? I never heard that!

I've known so many parents and relatives that doted on the wrong kid while ignoring the better one, and I doubt Walt was any different. However he may have felt about his nephew, I think Roy has been a godsend to the company his uncle and father founded. I understand Walt didn't really care for a hell of a lot of people who contributed to his company's success- does that negate the respect we all give them today? I would be thrilled to meet Roy in person.
