Walt & El Grupo (2008)

The year was 1941, and the world was on the brink of war. In an effort to improve relations between the Americas, the Roosevelt administration called upon one of Hollywood's most influential filmmakers to embark on a special goodwill tour. Written and directed by Theodore Thomas ("Frank and Ollie") and produced by Kuniko Okubo, the documentary WALT & EL GRUPO chronicles the amazing ten-week trip that Walt Disney and his hand-picked group of artists and filmmaking talent (later known as "El Grupo") took to South America at the behest of the U.S. Government as part of the Good Neighbor Policy.

Fascinating (albeit a bit long) documentary about Walt Disney (and El Grupo, his group of animators, artists, etc.) who were commissioned by the U.S. Government to go to Latin America on a "good will tour" to bolster support for the U.S. against Germany. The artwork done by El Grupo is amazing and the way the film documents the period with photographs, archival film footage and current images to note the changes is fantastic. Worth checking out for fans of Disney, but also for those interested in documentaries, art, Latin culture and history.

What’s really missing here is a story of artistic regeneration: by the time we encounter a dazzling excerpt from the studio’s post-trip film, “Aquarela do Brasil,” we are only reminded of what might have been.

Provides a framing device for the Disney creative process as well as the issue of the place of art in geo-politics.

A fine, if dry, chronicle of a time when "goodwill" trips actually mattered and of a South American sojourn that provided a stroke of inspiration for Walt and Co. and a brush with destiny for a smattering of Argentinians/Brazilians/Chileans/Peruvians. I found the latter's salty reminiscences far more compelling than the golly-gee letters to home from "El Grupo." The film struggles mightily to balance these two plot threads, but not even a stellar segment on Mary Blair and the ubiquitous presence of Walt can provide equanimity. More importantly, it's the beginning of an encouraging trend as Disney opens up their vault and shares rich, stunning archival materials; they've clearly learned that humanizing Walt is much more effective than canonizing him in deflecting all the anti-Semetic/racist/cryogenic rumors surrounding his legacy.

There’s a marked sense of retreat in this tale that’s never explored--everyone goes out of the way to remember the past through rose-colored specs.
