slits

s company (which released the film and in which she was a major stockholder), released a statement soon after the film opened expressing her extreme displeasure with it and that Walt Disney Company was involved in its release (although the film wasnt released by Disney but by Buena Vista Picturs, a Disney subsidiary). She believed the film was mean-spirited and biased; she also extended a personal apology on behalf of the Disney family to the Nixon family. Both families were close and often socialized together, so the Disneys knew the Nixons personally.
