The story of the 1941 Goodwill Tour to South America made by Walt Disney and his staff.
Leave your thoughts about Walt & El Grupo.
| ComingSoon.netEdward DouglasThis historical film has to be seen for the glorious way it takes you back through time, making you feel as if you are part of Disney's entourage. |
| Seattle TimesJohn Hartl[Thomas] may need more distance from the subject -- Walt & El Grupo could shed about 20 minutes -- but there's no questioning his sincerity or his instinct for revealing anecdotes. |
| Los Angeles TimesKenneth TuranThe best kind of labor of love. A documentary made with affection and intelligence, it looks at a brief episode in the life of a cultural icon and uses it to illuminate what turns out to be a telling moment in time and in the process shed some light on the man himself. |
| AV ClubNoel MurrayHardcore Disney fans will appreciate how serious-minded and intimate this movie is, but for others, Walt & El Grupo might feel like an expensive vacation slide show, assembled by strangers. |
| USA TodayClaudia PuigWhile Walt & El Grupo could use trimming, it also is visually stunning. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThe result: No other studio could produce historical treasure like this from its vaults. |
| St. Louis Post-DispatchJoe WilliamsWhile Walt and El Grupo is less than a penetrating analysis, it's more than a Mickey Mouse advertisement. |
| Boxoffice MagazineCathleen RoundtreeProvides a framing device for the Disney creative process as well as the issue of the place of art in geo-politics. |
| New York TimesJeannette CatsoulisWhat’s really missing here is a story of artistic regeneration: by the time we encounter a dazzling excerpt from the studio’s post-trip film, “Aquarela do Brasil,” we are only reminded of what might have been. |
| Movie ViewsRyan CracknellAn intimate, albeit uneventful, story filled with flashy graphics but not a lot of substance. |
