Walt Disney was a misogynist. The only Disney cartoon I've watched that doesn't demean and threaten women in some way or another is Lilo & Stitch (which is a great cartoon).

Walt Disney made good things happen for millions of children / people and I think that is a remarkable genius -- Hours and hours of movies and fun for the whole family , is a great thing

I heard that he was dishonorably discharged from the military which doesn't necessarily make him evil in my eyes.

As for the Snow White and misogyny question (which could be extended to almost every Disney movie made prior to the 90s) - Snow White's entire purpose in this movie is to avoid being killed by her "evil" step-mother (misogyny), clean house for dwarfs and wait to be "saved" by a prince. Is this a fair or non-sexist view of women? There are no "good" mothers in any Disney film prior to the Lion King (and even in that, the mother is a minor character). Either there is no mother (ie. The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast) or there's an "evil" step-mother. So, yes, without question, Disney's movies were clearly misogynistic and it appears he had some issue with mothers in general.
