Elias Walt's Father, a Gangster, and a Father of Two

The disneys came from a long line of schemers and failed business men. Elias's father, keppell, had tried to drill for oil, but failed to find any. He believed in an old school approach to parenting that involved corporal punishment. Walt loved, hated, respected, resented, admired his dad, all at the same time. His relationship with his mother was much less complicated.
