Pat Boone says Walt Disney would be appalled by the state of Disney today … claiming the company’s sold out its ideals to make a quick buck — and, the company ain’t for families anymore.
We caught up with the legendary singer and actor at LAX Tuesday … and, he tells us that the founder of Disneyland “must be spinning in his grave” because Boone says the company’s trying to shed its identity as a family filmmaker.
Boone says the company just wants to make money … which is absolutely not what Disney envisioned when he founded the company.
PB talks about a Broadway-bound play he’s involved in which tells the life of Walt Disney … and, he believes it will remind people about Walt’s original vision. While Pat doesn’t name the musical in the clip, back in 2013 he presented the show “When You Wish: The Story of Walt Disney” at UCLA’s Freud Playhouse — so, it could be that’s the show he’s talking about.
Boone worked with Walt Disney Records back in the day … releasing several songs through the label at the height of his fame in the 1950s and 1960s, including the holiday classic “Little Green Tree.”

We also asked Boone — a noted conservative in Hollywood — about President Donald Trump‘s decision to name Mel Gibson, Sylvester Stallone and Jon Voight as his ambassadors to Hollywood … listen to the clip to hear Boone’s thoughts on the appointments.
Clearly, Boone’s hoping the trio can get the House of Mouse back on the right track.
