Disney Recalls Uncle Walt's Storytelling

The Chicago Tribune

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. -- As a schoolboy home sick with chicken pox, Roy Disney had the best storyteller any kid could imagine: Uncle Walt.

Disney -- in New Mexico over the weekend for the opening of a new theater complex at the National Hispanic Cultural Center -- said he remembers his uncle sitting at the end of his bed, telling him the story of Pinocchio.

"He was a fabulous storyteller," Disney said.

As the son of Walt Disney Co.'s co-founder, Roy O. Disney, Disney grew up steeped in the Disney culture.
