Last month, I stumbled across a story on CNS News about a documentary by the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights called Walt’s Disenchanted Kingdom. As a member of GenX, I watched The Wonderful World of Disney when it came on every Sunday night. It was the last thing I watched before going to bed. And there were a few years in which we saved all of our money for a trip to Walt Disney World in Orlando. We ate a lot of leftovers and skipped plenty of other things, but it was worth it for a few days in the Polynesian or Contemporary Resort and to wander around the Magic Kingdom. Of course, that was the ’70s, not the 2020s. And I’ve read a bio about Walt Disney and another about book about how Disney fared under Michael Eisner. So I was interested enough to spend 50 minutes watching the film.
