It's no secret that Walt Disney had a passion for flying. He had his own private jets and tried to incorporate flying into his many of his animated films.

His last three films have been about everyday heroes that have managed extraordinary feats of courage and it seems his goal is to counteract the superhero culture prevalent in Hollywood today. I fo... Read More
