Walt Disney and Jim Henderson

I understand the historical significance of Walt Disney and Jim Henderson and wile both should be admired for their great achievements and contributions I'm not very interested in what motivated them to achieve these goals. No one cares why George Bush became president, we just care that he drove the country into the ground. My point is no one but shrinks care why you do things everyone just cares about the how and what's to come, I'm no different. That being said I still have to write about so with out further to read here's a what I found interesting.

I did enjoy the similarities in the stories, they say great minds think alike but at one point there similarities bordered on repetitive, I mean I can't be the only person seeing that every time Walt did something Jim did some thing  similar. The next thing I found interesting was the massive differences in personality, Walt was a hermit and preferred to be home (kind of like me) wile Jim like the night life with fast cars and pretty girls. Lastly both protected their character with their heart and soul, witch is under stand able because  to the creator the characters they create are a part of them.

There is no denying Walt Disney and Jim Henderson were remarkable people but I just couldn't help but feel that the article was trying to get me to read the book and quite frankly I don't like reading, especially about other people. I don't care what their first childhood memory was if I wanted to know useless stuff about some one else I'd talk to my sister. Finally I think all biographies and autobiographies should be made into movies and if they're not you weren't important enough.
 My question is "why are these men so much alike, I mean really its scary?"
