The Perfect American

About the show

In scenes spanning Walt Disney’s last months and earlier events, a delirious, dying Walt revisits his boyhood in Marceline, his studio, family, and ambitions to conquer death. Wilhelm Dantine confronts him over his firing and union activity. Walt interacts with an owl figure, an animatronic Abraham Lincoln, and Andy Warhol; he eventually dies, and Dantine learns he will be cremated rather than cryonised.
