They took a few liberties in “Saving Mr. Banks”, but frankly not very many. His dad, Elias Disney was always coming up with “get rich quick” schemes, most of which didn’t work. As a consequence the sons had to pick up the slack quite often. That little speech Walt gave was largely true. Diane Disney Miller, Walt’s daughter got to look at and approve the script. Of course thats because the Disney family owns the rights to Walts image and likeness, not Disney. The Disney family gets royalties when the Disney company uses Walts image and likeness to this day. I believe the holding company is called “Retlaw”.

I’m sure the Disney family, or those still remaining, still own a large share of DIS stock, which has done quite well...
