    Ive learnt so much from it! It really has given me a different outlook on life (especially the bit about being in bad place when no one tells you you're screwing up anymore).

    I too cried at the end lol, when he brought out the Birthday cake...that was so sweet and so sad at the same time.

    Oh, I just realized I haven't seen the full thing, I've only seen 10 minutes of it. I'll have to watch the whole thing later today then...

    Watched it all and it was great.
    What an amazing guy, knowing that he was going to die and he still had a smile on his face and still took time to make others happy was incredible! Learn't so much from that, really made me think.

    i'd love it even without the disney connection-- the fact that he was an imagineer just makes it evenmore inspirational because his childhood dream is so similar to mine.

    Yeah I heard about that. That's so sad. It always seems that things like this happen to such good people :'(

    oh good god.
    The secret is a heap of shit.
    I'd stay 100% clear of that.
    This is much more different then most inspirational books as they are life experiences and you relate to it.

    Unlike some bull that is given to you in those books like The Secret.
