There are literal skeletons in the closet...
The works of beloved genius Walt Disney have defined many of our childhoods. As a constant innovator who produced numerous classics, Disney received a staggering 59 Academy Award nominations and brought home the gold 22 times. His legacy can still be felt today. The company that bears his name has become a media juggernaut enveloping every major entertainment studio in its path.

Uncle Walt burnt bridges, produced misfires, and trampled anyone in his path all in the name of bringing us great films. We invite you to join us as we unlock the Disney vault for a limited time only to bring you a parade of Walts buried skeletons. Here are 10 things Disney wants us to forget.
