Like all the Built America series this one delves into how Disney took shape and the different iconic elements that helped position it to become the Disney most of us knew growing up.
The casting of Walt is different than the Walt Disney many of us were introduced to as children when he would introduce us to fantastical movies and characters to get us in a mindset to enter the world he created for us.
You will see many of the traits of past Built Americas giving you frames of reference for what was actually going on behind the scenes of a particular idea.
Even though the current state of Disney has been destroyed by political ideology and elements children should not be introduced to, this is still a great way to remember better days when it was actually fit to be watched by children and make you nostalgic for those magical times.

They did this on the last episode of Season 2. Now here we are at the end of Season 5 and they've stripped all of the scenes of the Mars father and son scenes from the candy bar episode of episode 2 in the second season. All they did was add more filler scenes and more interviews from the food historians in order to eliminate the Hershey and Reeses parts.
There are so many great food brands, innovators, and genius stories of food and drink that we all grew up with. It's sad to see such a great series resort to the unneeded rebooting of an episode. If you look at the reviews from the last episode of Season 2 you would think they'd have learned their lesson.
Do better History Channel. Your fan base deserves that.

I don't understand the low ratings. The actual people who these verified stories actually happened to are walking us through the events which have been dramatized for us in order that we can experience it through their eyes.
These are not made up fictional stories meant to scare you. These are based on historically documented events that actually occurred.
Would you downvote the History Channels docudramas on Rome and Greece or the "____ that Built America" shows? How about the old school Unsolved Mysteries (those were scary af)?
Does this show MAYBE take liberties here or there? Probably, just as the shows listed above do as well.
I rated mine a 10 because other ratings here are a bit ridiculous. It may be a bit campy, but the stories are creepy and it does the job it set out to do in my opinion.
