NOONWIRE features Disney news from other media sources.
The Walt Disney Family Museum officially opens to the public Thursday, but several news organizations have already written about the San Francisco museum.
Here are some of the stories.
From the San Jose Mercury News:
From the moment one delves into the new Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco’s Presidio, it becomes apparent that this is no Mickey Mouse operation.
Yes, the cartoon rodent who helped spawn a vast entertainment empire is here in all his glory. But he’s just a small part of a wide-ranging, state-of-the-art presentation intended to please casual fans and Disney geeks alike.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The word “Disney” has developed into a stereotype among modern movie patrons and theme-park-goers. People think of princesses, formulaic family films and souvenir stands at every opportunity. Disney the company may continue to deliver a good product, but it has functioned as a marketplace goliath for decades.
Somewhere along the line, Walt Disney the man has become synonymous with the corporation. More than anything, the new Walt Disney Family Museum in San Francisco’s Presidio seems constructed to right that alleged wrong.

From the Chicago Sun-Times:
SAN FRANCISCO – The black-and-white photo from 1906 shows a little boy and his sister, holding hands on the porch of their modest home on Chicago’s West Side.
On a nearby wall hangs more than a dozen simple cartoons the boy drew as a freshman for William McKinley High School’s magazine. The most spectacular thing about the sketches isn’t the subject matter. It’s the artist’s signature: W. Disney.
Near these humble artifacts are 29 of the 32 Academy Awards Chicago-born Walt Disney racked up during his illustrious life.
These are just a few of the items on display at the new Walt Disney Family Museum, which tells the fascinating life story of one of the world’s most influential storytellers.
