An animator, innovator, and yes, someone with some less than savory viewpoints and a dark side.  This week on The Tinsel Factory, we're covering the life of Walt Disney: an international celebrity by the time he was 30, heralded as a genius before the age of 40, he won more Oscars than anyone in film history, and changed the way families go on vacation.
