The Dark Side of Disney (2015) User Reviews

Ridiculous waste of time and money

This doesn't show the "dark side" of Disney. It shows the stupidity of the creators. There was very little actual Disney content. What does a drug addict have to do with the "dark side" of Disney? Don't waste the $2.00. There is no actual GOOD backstage content or content pertaining to cast member experiences. They sneak into the Utilidoors and show next to nothing. The weird lady at the beginning who dumped her mother's ashes into the moat? Has Disney not seen this documentary and banned her? Who is this lady and what does she have to do with "the dark side"? She has a love for Disney. Nothing dark about that.

Was good. But a bit underwhelmed...

Wasn't bad, but wasn't that good either. I was expecting more tips / "hacks" and secrets on how to enjoy the Disney theme parks from an adult perspective. I really enjoyed the "cast members only" footage... Seeing the parks from a different perspective was pretty cool.

Inspires me to create a "Disneyland Hacks" video, since I live in CA and know a few tricks of my own... Have been to WDW 3 times and thoroughly enjoyed it. I want to read the DSOD book and compare it to the film since that's what it was based on. Honestly though, I learned more from Leonard Kinsey's and other YouTube videos than the film. (Dole Whip and rum, riding the people mover to enjoy some alcohol and many more)...

The pacing was good, the story and character development could have been stronger. Kept waiting for the money shot and it just never happened.

I was just a bit underwhelmed, only a bit. Overall it was good and totally worth the 3 buck rental on Vimeo.

Would recommend to any die-hard Disney fan such as myself.
