You're right. He was declining at an exceptional rate. I believe he had only one lung, and it was being ravaged by cancer. He could barely film a continuous shot and needed oxygen nearby as he could barely finish a sentence. You'd never know something was wrong how he stayed stoic through it all.
@LeonSKennedy7777 Kurt Russell is an older actor nowadays. He's mostly known for films like overboard, escape from New York, backdraft, Tombstone, the thing. Though nowadays people are more likely to know him as Ego in Guardians of the Galaxy 2, or Santa in the Christmas chronicles.
Kurt Russell has had probably the most eventful life ever. Met Elvis, Was the pilot who witnessed the Phoenix lights, saved the world from a shapeshifting alien from outer space.
@@w.tilliams3460yeah he was people who worked with him said he often used racial slurs including the hard r racist characters like that one centaur from fantasia that was implied to be a slave, but was removed. there was also song of the south also it was the 1900’s
@@jibbedyjoojajooNo Walt was NOT racist. The Only people who said he was were the people who striked. But disgruntled and angry people will say anything to ruin their ex boss.EVERYONE that worked with him for MANY years said he was NOT a racist and NOT a sexist.
Watching this clip made me shed a few years. I know Walt wasn't perfect but Disney this is still the best film company of all time. From childhood till my death all my life I will always be a fan. Thank you so much Mr. Disney
How was he not what his image implied? He was not a racist, antisemite or Nazi sympathizer. All of those were false and unsubstantiated claims made by former Disney employees who had an ax to grind with him and left the studio during the animators' strike.
@@ThatOneGuyYouSawAMonthAgo9576 Just because some DIsney films have racial caricatures doesn't mean that Walt was a racist. In those days, that was just considered another form of humor, and while that doesn't excuse it, it's still a far cry from believing that any race is inherently inferior to another. I'll remind you that it was Walt who hired Floyd Norman, Disney's first black animator.
walt was a heartwarming kind of a person, he made everybody happy, and he had changed the world ever since he started doing what he thought was the best decision to make people around the world happy. we need to cherish people like him a lot more than we did and do right now, theyre not immortal.
I wish that the Disney company would drop the CGI and get back to it's roots in 2D. Keep moving forward. Sometimes you need to go backwards to do so.❤ Love you Mr. Disney.
I remember seeing this clip. Many years ago. I can’t remember where. But some comments on that were saying that when he says he’s sorry he can’t be there personally, he is really saying that he is sorry that he will not be alive for a much younger. 😢
He’d be diagnosed with cancer only a few days after he filmed this - so he almost certainly knew he wasn’t very well at this point. That would absolutely make sense.
@@StaceyBrown3he based the movie on a book, which had characters in it that were racist, cause it took place after the slaves were freed. Walt was not a racist. A racist wouldn’t have fought for a black man to become the first to when an academy award.
He may have done some stingy things here and there, but even then he would of disliked the choices the company has done today much like how Steve Jobs would of felt about Apple today despite doing some bad practices as well. Or if that's going too far.
Rest in peace Walter. You’re way better than Jeffery Katzenberg and the chuckleheads who run Disney now for what that’s worth. You’ll always be remembered.
Walt doesn't look that bad for a man who would die less than 50 days later. Sounds good, too. Weird to think I'm more than 5 years older now than he was then. Thankful for my near perfect health
Wild to think Walt Disney knew that Kurt Russel would be an amazing actor and knew one of the people who would star in the Mcu just crazy to think about
To my understanding, Disney had 2 daughters, no sons. And some think Disney saw a young Kurt like a son. Which explains why Kurt did a lot of movies with Disney growing up. Before becoming the legend he was.
With all my boyhood heart, I ferociously loved him. as an adult man, who's outlived Mr Disney by More than a decade; still, I devotedly adore the father figure who supplied a great rôle model for the dad who was completely absent.

If it weren’t for Walt Disney kids nowadays wouldn’t have as much fun and entertain entertainment as they would have. Walt Disney is the King and the legend of all entertainment and good fun things in this world.
God bless Mr. Disney! May his spirit live on to show people that if we can dream it, we can do it - and that there's always a great big beautiful tomorrow.
You can't fault the man who gave so much joy and amusement to generations of families, it is Walt Disney we have to remember,he's not to blame for the sycophants who now run the company and appear hell bent on destroying his legacy and ruining the company and grinding it into extinction, next time vote Peltz, we need to get these people out, they are obviously in the wrong job, Disney used to have standards, it's a shame they just want to turn it into history
Roy died exactly five years later same month and 5 days apart on Dec 20, 1971. His son and wife found him on the floor, I believe he had a stroke. A also believe that stress helped kill them both. With cigarettes being the contributing factor for Walt. He smoked several packs a day throughout his life. It is known that cancer feeds off of stress and sugar. He actually looked older than 65. He looked 75. Cigarettes and stress will age you.
I'm getting pop cultural whiplash right now... Walt Disney and Kurt Russel together in the same sentence... One I love for how he changed the animation field and films forever, the other I love as a stoic badass escaping from New York or burning alien abominations in The Thing... wow
I remember Walt Disney as a kid. I remember how there was talk that said what was the Disney theme parks? And how his passing would affect the way they made Disney movies. 🤔 😢❤😮
They murdered my mother as well she went to the hospital for care nature cures any illness why couldn't I understand, she had a beautiful spirit The demons at the hospital sensed her spirit and they tortured her as Jesus they opened her they stuck metal thick tubes through out her body they tight her to the bed in the last time I went she begged with her eyes to untight her because her back hurt YOU WHO DID THIS TO MY MOTHER MY GOD IS WAITING TO GIVE YOU YOUR SENTENCE!!
If you have to start a comment with ‘Not to be all “well actually”… just stop typing lol. Also, he died mid-December… December 15. Which is a month and a couple weeks.
Walt is turning in his grave seeing how his company is being run into the ground with all this woke BS. Disney is dead to me and I will never go to a Disney park again, never watch a Disney movie again or have anything to do with Disney. The company needs to be put down for all this BS they are doing. Just ridiculous and bad all around.
@@DaveLeeDownUnder - Go woke go broke. I really don't care anymore because I left the U.S. many years ago and will never go back. Just sad to see my home country slowly be destroyed by all this elitist liberal, feminist, woke BS. But enjoy the coming collapse and good luck as you're going to need it.
When Walt said "I'm sorry, I can't be there with you personally" is like if he knew that he was gonna die before the movie came out
😢

HE DID! THEY TOLD HIM HE HAD TERMINAL CANCER! IT WAS HIS WISH TO KEEP IT FROM EVERYONE EXCEPT FAMILY! THE STUDIO EMPLOYEES DID NOT KNOW.
HE DID NOT DIE SUDDENLY. WHAT A CROCK OF MISINFORMATION! I THOUGHT TRUMP WAS BAD!
Walt Disney was 65 Years Old, When He Died on December 15, 1966 at the time!!!
RIP Mr Disney you will always be the ultimate genius in animation
He was right. Kurt has had an amazing career.
Who is Kurt Rustle?

R.I.P the man who revolutionized the entertainment industry 4ever!
ya R I P Walt 😢😢 come back to use plzz!!😢😢😢
Fun fact: "Kurt Russell" was also the last words Walt ever wrote.
Kurt Russell has had probably the most eventful life ever. Met Elvis, Was the pilot who witnessed the Phoenix lights, saved the world from a shapeshifting alien from outer space.

Watching this clip made me shed a few years. I know Walt wasn't perfect but Disney this is still the best film company of all time. From childhood till my death all my life I will always be a fan. Thank you so much Mr. Disney
He was quite an influential figure. I don't like youtube shorts, but this was worth a click.
Man, he seems so healthy in this clip.
except he was a heavy smoker throughout his life. he had lung cancer in which weaken his circulatory system, killing him on december 15, 1966
He had oxygen just off screen, and he could barely speak a full sentence. So sad to think about how hard he tried to maintain a happy appearance.
Though Walt wasn't what his image implied, I do think his showmanship and hosting duties make him a wholesome delight on the small screen.
How was he not what his image implied? He was not a racist, antisemite or Nazi sympathizer. All of those were false and unsubstantiated claims made by former Disney employees who had an ax to grind with him and left the studio during the animators' strike.

Imagine having Walt Disney predict you for superstardom.
Kurt Russell was blessed and I know he appreciated it.
look how they murdered your legacy, poor man
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
He lived and he withstood many challanges just to a bunch of maniacs to destroy everything he stood for: a family content.
Walt Disney lives heavenly ever after. Goodbye Walt.

Thank you, Dave for giving tribute to Mr. Disney

He's been forgotten by Disney, the company is a husk of what it was back then
Didn’t he make like a bunch of racist cartoons?
@@StaceyBrown3 everyone did back then.
@@StaceyBrown3he based the movie on a book, which had characters in it that were racist, cause it took place after the slaves were freed. Walt was not a racist. A racist wouldn’t have fought for a black man to become the first to when an academy award.
May his memory be eternal 🙏 ❤
He sounds so sincere and genuine unlike alot of company CEOs nowadays
That's because he was.
It's because he created the company from scratch as a starving artist. Most CEOs now start with an MBA.
He may have done some stingy things here and there, but even then he would of disliked the choices the company has done today much like how Steve Jobs would of felt about Apple today despite doing some bad practices as well. Or if that's going too far.
Rest in peace Walter.
You’re way better than Jeffery Katzenberg and the chuckleheads who run Disney now for what that’s worth.
You’ll always be remembered.
After playing bioshock I can only see Andrew Ryan
Walt Disney is the best movie mogul there ever was! 🙂
What a legend 👏🏻
Yes, I really miss him...
Fly high mr. Disney, it’s so sad that u missed all the movies that came out in the last couple of years ✨💙🕊️🕊️
Very sad he died too young... He was a real legend
Walt doesn't look that bad for a man who would die less than 50 days later. Sounds good, too. Weird to think I'm more than 5 years older now than he was then. Thankful for my near perfect health
KURT RUSSELL 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲😲
I see he is wearing a wedding ring in this, but did he ever include his wife in anything?
His wife wasn't interested in show business.
Wild to think Walt Disney knew that Kurt Russel would be an amazing actor and knew one of the people who would star in the Mcu just crazy to think about
🥲🥲🥲
When I go back to the past, I’ll save his life. One day I discovered how he died.

Illegitimate children. You are not my abba. You are not my sons. You never were.
Cigarettes robbed the world of 15-20 more years of Walt. Imagine what he would have done.

How crazy is it that Walt Disney spoke your name
I can't imagine a world without Walt...
Noooooooo
Early Birthday Walt Disney ❤🎉🥳
Walt Disney the best person in the world
His company became corrupt after he left
It's sad to see what they are doing to his name and legacy
He would be ashamed of how Disney is now.
HE LOOKED LIKE DEATH WARMED OVER BY THIS TIME!
We do not know you. We never knew you.
Don’t forget about Walt’s film presentation for building Disney world and Epcot
This was filmed on the same day as the EPCOT film - but this piece was filmed last.
RIP Walt Disany

Introducing my favourite actor.
What do you know.
The last thing he told us was “follow me boys”, I don’t think that was coincidence. Why did nobody listen?
And Walt’s prediction really came true about Kurt Russell
Bro R.I.P to a legend. 🫡
Fun fact: he’s actually my 5th cousin!

When I grow up,
I want to Work on being the next Disney.
It's like a goodbye gift from Walt.
dang, even his voice sounded tired and getting rapsy, you knew something was wrong
That Great Man may have had lung cancer, but they, the doctors, made it worse when they removed one of his longs; this is what truly killed
Bro literally predicted Kurt Russels career
Fascist
Not true in the slightest.
Walt Disney will always be someone whom I admire; he had many flaws, but what man has none?
The nostalgic old music is what gets me.

@@DaveLeeDownUnder That’s true. Lol! Also, for the “Well actually,” I had to channel my inner Stan from Th3BirdMan.
