If you are a fan of Disney and like to see behind the magic curtain, here is an interesting new biopic that Deadline has the exclusive trailer for showing Walt Disney in the early years.

Walt Before Mickey shows how Disney (Thomas Ian Nicholas) and his brother Roy (John Heder) struggled through the pre-depression era trying to start four different studios and moving from Missouri to California. The film is based on a non-fiction novel Walt Before Mickey: Disney Early Years: 1919-1928 by Timoth S. Susanin. The novel has a foreward by Diane Disney Miller.
