Walt before Mickey is an intriguing idea.

What could have been a warts-and-all biopic about the man behind the world's most famous animation studio turns out to be a heart-warming, sepia-toned version of the past aimed at the kind of fan who still wears Mickey Mouse leggings.

Kevin from American Pie plays Walt Disney, so there is that, and it's accurate in places, with a special nod to Newman's Laugh-O-Grams studio, considered to be the birthplace of the Disney empire and the inspiration for Mickey Mouse.

Overall it's a little too sleepy to be in the same vein as Saving Mr. Banks and Finding Neverland but nevertheless, with today's fixation on gritty on-demand content, Walt before Mickey would help you keep things cosy on a rainy Sunday afternoon.

More at home on True Movies than Netflix, Walt before Mickey is available now.
