Didier Ghez pointed over at his Disney History blog today to a very lengthy (and high quality) interview with Roy E. Disney, son of Roy O. and nephew of Walt.  The link from his blog takes you to the Archive of American Television, which has a very nice layout with background information, a 6 part taped interview along with notes and an outline. 

The actual videos themselves are on YouTube in HD and all 6 parts run about 3 hours and 45 minutes.  The AAT website says, ‘The interview was conducted by Jennifer Howard on November 5, 2007’.

I recommend you check out the AAT website, but here are the videos if you want to watch them back to back without a lot of fuss. 

Sorry for the right edge bleedover, but I didn’t want to mess with the aspect ratio.  You can actually see these on the YouTube website in HD directly.

The new documentary “Christmas With Walt Disney” gets a good review from Variety:
The slender length and initially limited exposure of “Christmas With Walt Disney” belie the rather wonderful archival materials encased in this charming compilation of Yuletide-related materials from throughout the founder’s lifespan as studio chief.
You can only see it at the Walt Disney Family [...]
