If you didn't like the Disney Company's make-believe version of Walt Disney in "Saving Mr. Banks," fret not, an independent company has now produced their own fantasy Walt biopic: Walt before Mickey.

A new trailer has been unveiled for the Walt Before Mickey movie.
This film adaptation shares the same title as Timothy S. Susanin’s 2011 nonfiction book which features a forward written by Diane Disney Miller. The video embedded above offers glimpses of Thomas Ian Nicholas as a young Walt Disney and Jon Heder as his brother Roy Disney.
Here’s more from Deadline: “Disney fans got a peek at the 1960s-era Walt in last year’s Saving Mr. Banks, but Walt Before Mickey offers up the pre-Depression Era ‘missing decade’ during which he launched four studios and moved from Missouri to California, with varying degrees of success. Jodie Sweetin (Full House) and David Henrie (Wizards Of Waverly Place) also star for first-time feature helmer Khoa Le, who directs a script by Arthur L. Bernstein and Armando Gutierrez.”

It's getting harder and harder to tell the difference between YouTube cartoons dreamt up by teens in their bedrooms and big-budget TV studio productions created by professionally-trained artists. Today, Disney Television Animation announced the beginning of production on "Pickle & Peanut," a "buddy comedy series about two unlikely friends—an emotional pickle and a freewheeling peanut...two underdogs who dream up plans to be anything but ordinary."

Some pure fun and silliness.
Napoleon Dynamite was one of those movies with a weird sense of humor that people either loved, hated, or just said- huh? I'm in the love it group. (If you ever felt like a misfit in high school, you'll love it. Really.)
Now who doesn't wanna get up and dance? An appropriate way to finish off the week.

Ha, ha! I never saw this movie Jen. How come his T-shirt says "Vote for Pedro" Is Pedro in the movie? Is he Pedro? Oh.. I bet that has nothing to do with the movie.. LOL!
It was fun to watch. Happy weekend to you too Jen!
ok, i am NOT with you on this one. although i got the movie, it's humor was just lost on me. although, i have loved the lead in this movie in several other films.
Alicia-- Pedro is Napoleon's best friend who runs for class president. (Pedro wins, BTW!) ;-)
Christine-- See? That's what I mean! Part of it, though, is that I have a teenage boy, and Jon Heder nails the character completely.
(A boy who, when he came home with a bag of Halloween candy and found out it only weighed 10 pounds, said- "Gosh! It's like 45 pounds, duh!" Which sounded like classic Napoleon to me.) :-D
Totally love Napoleon Dynamite.
My grown children adore it.
A Christmas favorite and we all sit round talking about "building a cake"
etc.
It is so touching because everyone's dreams come true - in a batty sort of way.
Sweet, Elizabeth! ;-)
It really has a cult following- so many quotable moments. True about the ending. I get weepy!
This was my favorite scene in the movie.
My mother grew up in small-town Idaho and said so *much* of this movie felt spookily familiar. :-)
That's neat, Tara! I think part of the appeal too was that so many of the characters are universal, wherever you grow up. :-)
GOSH! I love that movie. Thanks for the clip.
I must have watched it a million times though. I was Napoleon Dynamite for Halloween a few years back, so I had to learn all the moves and cool quotes.
I must say it was a big hit. All the kids wanted their picture taken with me.
Made a vote for Pedro shirt just like that one, but I had a hard time finding boots like his down here.
Aw Frank, no moon boots down there?! At least you're pretty good at drawing, like animals and warriors and stuff... (Teehee-- don't get me started with the quotes!) ;-D
"It's a Liger" and yes, I have skills.
Flippin sweet, Frank. That's pretty much my favorite animal. :-D
Don't get me started, this could go on forever.
By the way Jennifer, I reckon... you know a lot about... cyberspace? You ever come across anything... like time travel?
Dang, Frank! I wish I could go back in time. I'd take state!
Glad to know we're pretty much friends by now, right?
Okay, okay... must get to work!!!!
