It was a very cool vid I learned alot ☺
Suggestion : Robert Wood Johnson’s family tree or Marvin Gay’s family tree
@@alfieingrouille1528same
Hi, I just thought, what if you make one on Adolf Hitler or Stalin, Mussolini, Napoleon, Gaddafi, Saddam Hussein, and others 😅
So many FAKE people in your video. Impostors, actors.
The Disney family lore is deep
Yep
More like the biggest family tree in with so much history
Fr
THATS WHY WRE HERE IN THE *DISNEY FAMILY ALBUM*
Mine too I'm a distant cousin via the Chapin family line he's my 10th cousin it's very crazy too when I found out I was like wtf
4:00 I just want to add a little context to Walt's mother tragically dying. The gas leak happened inside a house that was a gift from Walt and Roy. The house was bought and paid for in full so their parents could enjoy their retirement together debt free. Tragic!
Mr. Baker. I think more Family Trees episodes of famous corporate families would be great. Carnegie, Rockefeller, Ford, Hilton, Westinghouse, etc. Seeing where the families came from and how they rose to prominence would be interesting.
He did the Rockefellers a while back.
Ty
Rothschild
Pyzer family
It seems Name Explain dropped a very similar video just one hour before this one. No, we didn't plan it but Name Explain is a great channel so if you want to hear his take after watching this one, check it out: ua-cam.com/video/LEl6iX_erRY/v-deo.html
Now there should be a video about the Warner bros family at some point or hanna barbera
Maybe the Audry family who did the railway series
I’ve never seen Useful Charts and Name Explain in the same room…
What about the Goldwyns and Mayers behind MGM?
@@theshenparteigreat ideas!
@@revinhatolI know mgm through 2 thing movies and casinos
You mentioned William the Conqueror and the battle of Hastings. The battle took places exactly today, 957 years ago!
Is it because of him the English football and cricket uniform has three lions??
@@PortugalZeroworldcupThe Coat of arms of England, with its three lions, as it is today was first used by king Richard I (Richard the Lionheart). There is a version of the same three lions that was probably used by William the Conqueror. I guess it is hard to know exactly what is the origin of the symbol, since it is so old. There are some theories though...
He's my ancestor
One minor correction on the CEO front, Iger is the current CEO but Bob Chapek served at CEO from 2020-2022. Iger's contract has ended in 2020 and he was on the board as chairman and planned to retire but stepped back in when Chapek was dismissed at the end of 2022.
Otherwise was fun to take a look at the extended Disney family for a bit. Thank you!!
Writing Bob Chapek out of Disney history is something plenty of Disney fans would agree with though…
Except not really@@Zveebo
@@Koala_Smalls Except yes really.
Chapek doesn’t deserve the recognition. Most choices he made are causing irreparable damage to the company.
@@WynneChad Right. Cause Disney is doing sooooooo well under Iger 😂
Here's a little tidbit for you. My great-grandmother Margaret Murray (1851-1949) of Pictou, Nova Scotia had a younger sister Christina, who married a Thomas Disney, younger brother of Elias, in the 1880's in Goderich, Ontario. That branch of the Disneys died out in the 1970s. I remember my Dad and his brother being in Probate Court with representatives of Walt's two daughters, sorting out the estate.
I hope that Brad Lund will get what is rightfully own, so he does not have to fight for it anymore!
Not as long as Sherry is involved. She even set up her own brother to look like he stole money from the estate.
I recently saw an article that indicated the trustees of the Lund trust fund are paid quite well (up to $1M per year) to manage the fund. If they release the money to Brad, they will be out of a job. This is likely the reason they are refusing to release his funds.
My wife's maiden name is Dawson. I was able to track her father's side back to a Daniel Disney (1529-1588), then back to a Sir William D'Isney II (1245-1300). For some reason, Daniel's son, Henry, changed the family name from Disney to Dawson.
So are all Dawsons descendants of D'Isney? There are so many Dawsons around, way more than Disneys which is a much rarer name, at least in the UK.
@@lordgemini2376 my hunch is probably not. If they were it would make "family day" at Disneyland a lot busier.
@@lordgemini2376No, Dawson is a Scottish name meaning Son of David.
Im related to both of the poeple you mention. I think im probably related to your wife also
That explains why during Walt's life, he did movies like Marry Poppins, Peter Pan, & Winnie the Pooh ( English); Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Beauty and the Beast ( French); & Daniel Boone, Johnny Apple Seed, & Old Yeller ( American Frontier).
I hope you make a video about the Warner family as well since the WB company also celebrated 100 years of existence early this May.
Here’s an interesting story about Brad Lund, Walt Disney’s grandson with an intellectual disability. I had (he passed away in an airplane crash) a cousin who had an intellectual disability. On my dad’s side. That side of the family has a lot of money. Well it seems Doug my cousin and Brad Lund went to the same school. There was a private school somewhere I believe in California that was for people with intellectual disabilities. It cost a lot of money to attend. I believe it was residential. They were roommates. I think this was 30 years ago. I remember my dad telling us about this.
My Wife's Grandfather was a neighbor of Roy Disney growing up. He considered him to be one of his nicer neighbors. I always assumed he meant the brother of Walt, but I suppose there are two notable Roys that he could have meant.
Correction: Brad Lund doesn't have an intellectual disability, a *judge claimed* he "may suffer from Down syndrome" as a reason to deny Brad his inheritance (which, that's not a good reason anyway, but our judicial system isn't great) and force a legal guardian on him. Brad has denied this and a DNA test has proven he indeed does not have Down Syndrome. The test was presented in court before the judge made that comment. The judge later removed the legal guardian and I think recused himself, but he's safe from an ADA discrimination lawsuit because of "judicial immunity".
This is a good example of how the judicial system is biased against disabled people (to put it lightly). Just the *perception* of being disabled, even with hard proof to the contrary, means they're happy to take rights away from you, like we see here denying his inheritance and forcing a legal guardian on him (at the age of *50* btw). Actual disabled people, especially the majority who are nowhere near as high profile as a literal Disney heir, have even worse done to them.
He does have an intellectual disability. Whether or not it is Down's Syndrome is what is not known.
Also, Sherry will steal from him as much as possible. I was married to one of her brothers and it’s in their nature to take from others, even from their own family members.
Okay, so I'm probably going to use this in the animation class I teach. Always glorious work my guy!
I actually think that Walt Disney is a Nazi
I just want to say i love this channel. I've been subscribed for about 3 years now and every time i see a new video i get so happy. Keep up the good work Matt and Jack
Fantastic video, always. Can I give a few pointers though. 1) the Mortimer mouse story is likely apocryphal, Ube Iwerks tells a story of Disney trying out names with the guys at the studio. And supposedly Lillian when interviewed had never heard that story. 2) even Oswald's origins may be found in Disney's Julius the Cat of the Alice cartoons. back when Disney was running Laff-o-grams.
Source Walt Disney : The triumph of the American imagination. (I teach animation at Langara, so it's really cool to see you tackle my dual passions of The Bible and Cartoons.)
Matt’s rhetoric is pure art, like music to my ears.
I feel cheated.
I was expecting to hear how Mickey and Minnie were related. (1st cousins?)
Me too
I love how families have deep lore,sometimes I even question my family tree
I am suprised that one of Walts grand nieces would call out his deeds and the company as a whole. In addition I am happy that the decedents are in the filming business, going to show the legacy Walt laid out back in the day and his impact, as a fan of animation and Disney this was an amazing video. By the way I am also Canadian.
Alwasy love your videos, but as a Disney Adult I especially appreciate this content.
You should do a video on the family tree of the British boxer Tyson Fury. He's been called by some to be the king of the gypsies because of his boxing prestige and because many of his relatives were also successful pugilists that were influential in the British Irish traveler community. For example he is related to Bartley Gorman (who also called himself king of the gypsies), who was the inspiration for the voice of Bane in the dark Knight rises.
I have actually done a family tree for Tyson myself if he needs a head start.
Like with all people the Disney family has its good side and its dark side. I'm just glad the Disney company has been able to entertain us for so many years.
Matt Baker thanks for doing this. I have had the opportunity when younger to go to both Disneyland Anaheim and Walt Disney World, Florida a few times, and in my ex wife’s family who have some Irish and then we made a point to watch on Saint Patrick’s day or week the Disney production call “Darby O’Gill and the Little people”.. why do I mention this? because it’s on DVD and it had extra supplementary material on it black-and-white footage that I assume is from one of those Saturday or Sunday Walt, Disney hour or wonderful world of Disney TV programs where he’s interviewing an Irish actor and they’re talking about Irish heritage, and then WED just briefly alludes to something like he has some Irish in him. Well, I have English in me but no Irish but I just thought it was neat how you could lay out the entire heritage of his family to include French, English and Irish (& Canadian?) bits to it. Thanks for this video!
When you track down the lineage of Disney to 50 BC you’ll find that Gaul is entirely occupied by the Romans.
Well not entirely! The small village of Issigny of indomitable Gauls still holds out against the invaders. And life is not easy for the Roman legionaries who garrison the fortified camps of Totorum, Aquarium, Laudanum and Compendium…
Great video. Re Victoria Brown - people are more than their conditions. "Became a heroin addict" is dehumanizing. Try suffered from addiction or substance use
Walt Disney was descended from Norman Irish or Hiberno-Irish stock, Normans who moved to Ireland. In Ireland there was a joke that these immigrants were considered more Irish than Irish natives themselves after a generation or so as they willingly completely assimilated into Irish culture, both Protestant and Catholic. So Walt was probably more of Irish ancestry than French or English, he clearly felt that more as he explored this artistically in some of his work.
I find these random family tree videos really interesting. I recently had to do research into a company I had applied to work for. as part of the interview process I was encouraged to research the history and origins of the company. I was unsuccessful in getting the job but it was still very cool to learn about the company. From its humble roots of Jewish Immigrants in Ireland to a nationwide company in the UK that still has members of the original founding family at the heart of it.
I love these "normal people" family trees. Keep 'em coming!
My husband was on jury duty with Walt’s sister. She was a very nice lady.
Great channel, love yr work! It's quite a dip going from gods and royals to Disney 😂 but I totally understanding why you made the vid 😊
Loved this video. Would love for it to become a series perhaps going over the company’s history
Excellent, I enjoyed this.
Great content. Charts are really didactic and the spoken historic facts are even more interesting to me!
That was great! I went to the Disney family museum in San Francisco. SO great! Highly recommended!
You would think that Kansas City would be where the family museum would be.
At first glance, I thought this video was going to be about how the Disney characters are related, like Mickey is a cousin to Pluto and uncle to Dumbo. 😂
French-English-Irish-Canadian-American!
That’s one family tree of The Crown
Pretty much a majority of white americans will be some combination of this + German 😂
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
His family holds the spear of destiny at this point
Math I learned a lot from you at the age of 75 keep your good work up, especially about the Bible in the Testament you're so fantastic God Be with You as far as Disney, my daughter works and it's kind of a crazy place, but God bless you God to leave you with. The spray for peace peace be with you.😅
And here I was, thinking this video was gonna be about the complex and intertwined family trees of the Disney CHARACTERS, lol!
Convieniently forgetting that Bob Chapek exists. 🤣
Cartoon artist Don Rosa made an excellent family tree showing the relations in the Duck family. I'd like to see your take on that.
Man, I was making a Duck Family Tree some months ago, but unfortunately i didn’t finish it…
I seriously expected the family tree of Donald Duck & Co. That would be much more interesting! 😆
Very very interesting, thank you!
I wasn't sure from the thumbnail, but I was a little disappointed it wasn't an in-universe family tree of the characters, since some of them have had very odd canon with respect to dating and nephews and Uncle Magic™.
That’s why Orlando was famous for Universal and Disneyland
Beautiful a Disney family reunion
Hey, Matt. We'd love if you made a video about characters and stories that recently entered public domain and the ones that will enter in the close future. Maybe there you can discuss what kind of Mickey Mouse is in public domain and what kind is not.
Thank you!
Fun fact: Walt Disney died while my mother was pregnant with me and his wife died while I was pregnant with my daughter. Walt Disney is my 7th cousin 2x removed through my father's Underwood-Chafee line. :-)
Honestly, some people have all the interesting people in their family trees. Then there’s my family, which is like “farmer, farmer, cotton mill worker, postman, farmer, another farmer. Oh look, a miner.”
All the best to you Matt! Get well soon!
Amazing ❤
It would be interesting to see the timeline of Hollywood. From silent film studios to todays mega corporations.
John Wayne movies
So cool
Can you please do family trees of the royal families in the Balkan Peninsula.
Love your videos ❤️
One of my ancestors was Dorcas Peake, the elder daughter of Jonathan Peake who appears at 3:15. kind of interesting.
There is a Disney street in Southwark, London (there is a Vid on it - Jools Guides ?/ John Rogers I forget ?). One of my school's former headmasters was a Mr Disney in the 1950s
This is interesting
very interesting videp, will yo aalso make videos on the trst movie companeys, ;ike warner bro and ynuvesal?
I had no idea Steve jobs once owned pixar that's a cool fact
So, who would be the King of Disney today?
I find out that I am related to Rollo, the Viking that conquered Normandy, and I guess it makes sense that I am related to Charlemagne and William the Conqueror, so I am related to the Franks.
I'm an English and French descent, and I am related to the Dickinson family, well, I’m not sure about relating to Emily Dickinson, but I might be related to Walt and Roy Disney as distant cousins.
Do a Beatles one
Fun fact: the voice of Ginger Foutley from Nicktoon As Told By Ginger is Melissa Disney whom is a distant cousin to Walt Disney.
Interesting and cool 😎 like Mr Magoo in the pool! 😊
Can you do my family? My 11th great-grandpa is Francis Sprague, he came over on the Anne in 1623. I can't trace back past the mid 1500s for some reason.
Hey some of my distant relatives came over on the Anne too!
@@sherisutherland1416 our families celebrated 400 years here on July 10, 2023! Who are your relatives?
@ColeBeeRyan lol like a bad daughter I didn't pay attention when dad found out. I believe it was the Armstrong line....
@@sherisutherland1416 he really should do a "what became of the founding families" who came over on the Mayflower and the Anne. Francis Sprague was one of the richest men in the area, had the first liquor license in the New World, a son that served & died in one of the bloodiest massacres of King Philip's War. What became of my family's fortune hehe where did we go wrong .. or right?
Very interesting.
There's a Norton Disney, but no McAfee Warner. After all, Warner never had a magic kingdom and McAfee was never an emperor.
Walt wouldn’t recognize what his company has become. He’d probably be a fan of south park though 😂
He would hate the Brofroskis
If you ask me, Disney needs the same treatment as standard oil
Walt's empire is 100 years old. He died 57 years ago.
I bet everyone else's signature was comparatively unremarkable.
From the Thumbnail I thought Disney's Uncle was Nietzsche
Like a. number of contemporary families, the Disney family crashes and burns as well.
Thank you for your videos!
Would you please do a detailed video on the Catholic ecumenical councils through history and maybe include the synod councils?
Well that got really sad at the end.
I know there is no real relation anymore but Walt Disney is my 8th cousin 4 times removed. As a former Cast Member and Disney lover I think its really cool!
Walt Disney is also a distant relative of mine too. He is my 10th cousin 4 times removed on his mother’s side going back to Germany.
Who's being mean to Brad?!?!?!
I have a deep rooted DNA it just so happens that I can actually trace my roots to my Irish ancestors which descend from Queens and Kings in Europe
Small correction: Iger's CEO term was 2005-2020 and then 2022-present.
Walt is spinning in his grave at mach speed due to what has been done to his company!
I'd like to know more about the younger Disney family members.
Very informative and well done!!*🎉🎉🎉
To my shock, I have found out that I'm distantly kin to a lot of famous people, including Walt Disney. Of course, many many other people out there are also kin to him and others too. But, still, it's interesting and fun to find out who all we are kin to, even if it is distantly kin. Growing up, I never would have imagined finding out all of this.
Greetings Matt, lately I have been a fan of your chronological videos and I wanted to ask you a favor, if you could at some point make a video about two interesting books by Isaac Newton: "Observations upon the Prophecies of Daniel and the Apocalypse of St. John" and, "The Chronology of Ancient Kingdoms Amended". Thank you.
Mr. Disney was the only good looking cat outta the family maybe because his mother was so beautiful .
Tim Disney was one of the credited writers on "Oliver and Company".
Ideas:
Amber Heard vs Johnny Depp Family Tree
Leonardo DiCaprio Family Tree
Logan and Jake Paul Family Tree
Will Smith Family Tree
Presley Family Tree
Frank Sinatra Family Tree + The “My Way” Killings
Tom Hanks Family Tree
Jackie Chan Family Tree
Rihanna Family Tree
Awesome chart
Walt Disney is my distant cousin...we found him on my mom's family tree its pretty interesting
in Richard Rich movie The Trumpet of the Swan cast have we Melissa Disney as voiceactor for Billie
It might be interesting to see one of these about Steven Spielberg.
Now you could make a Warner Bros family tree
I wonder if you decide to make a video about the Tsuburaya family tree?
Honestly the most surprising is no one of the family work in the in Disney anymore
“The first generation makes the money, the second spends it, and the third sees none of the wealth.” - Chinese Proverb... In this case, the second and third generation are spending it, but hopefully the third and fourth Disney generation members are smart with the money they inherited and are investing it wisely.
an dynsaty worthy of an empire
Would be interesting to see the Coppola family as in Francis ford Coppola ,that’s connects to a lot of Hollywood
