Walt Disney's Legacy

This article, written by NY Times columnist Brooks Barnes, discusses the museum that Walt Disney's family is currently creating to protect their father's reputation.
Throughout the years, Disney was subjected to harsh criticism such is the case with biography, "Walt Disney: Hollywood's Dark Prince," which depicted him as a bigot. In attempts to restore his reputation and bring honor to his legendary name, a museum is being built in his honor.
The author of the article was successful in providing the audience with a background on Walt Disney's life and explaining why it was so important for the family to have the museum built for him.
However, from the article as a whole, one can infer that while although the author felt it was necessary for Disney to be respected for all his accomplishments, his family was pushing the limits in taking on this project.
The Disney corporation already puts efforts into offering the general public an opportunity to learn who Disney was as a person through DVD specials, fan clubs, magazines, and an exhibit at California Adventure Park.
The author's perspective can especiallybe heard through the ending quotation, "Anything my mother wants, she gets."
This shows that Walt Disney's sole living daughter is pushing the limits in attempts to restore her father's strong name, yet it may be rubbing people the wrong way, but she will do what she believes to be right, no matter the consequences.
Walt Disney was a successful man with many great accomplishments in his lifetime, and his name will last forever. I think it is important that we recognize him for his successes without getting hung up on any imperfections he may have had. Therefore, I do not think this museum is necessary but if the family feels this is the only way to inform the public of who their father was, so be it. For me, my respect for Disney grows each time I watch one of his movies or see one of his characters, and that is good enough for me.
