Gary - pieced together Walt voice for Mickey
I see where Gary's coming from. This could be the worst idea ever. I'll just take Michael's word for the short and reserve judgement until I see it for myself.

For me it's nice that it's Walt's voice, but it's not something Walt actually personally did. It's like when the Beatles added a backing track to a John Lennon demo. Were all four Beatles involved in some way? Yes. But since one member was dead and didn't intend for his recording to be used like that...well...it's a gimmick.

Don't get me wrong. Disney's connection to its history is vital to the company and is the very life's blood of what keeps us in love with it. But, in a way, no matter how well it is done, Walt's been dead for nearly 50 years. I'd rather seen him treated with honor, not as a bunch of wave forms that can be manipulated into a short.

But that's just me. I'm bitter about everything lately. I don't know why. I'm just in a cranky old man mood these days. Sorry about that.
