Patriotism, Disney Style


Nearly five decades after Walt Disney's death, the company he founded continues his tradition of celebrating American exceptionalism - Chris Queen/PJ Media

Disney admitted to a patriotism that occasionally overwhelmed him. He once confessed, “I get red, white, and blue at times.” His love of country showed up in his films and television programs and has carried on in the theme parks that bear his name nearly half a century after his death. Sometimes the Disney brand of patriotism makes itself known in subtle ways, while at other times, it jumps directly in your face.
