Walt Disney is awoken by a nurse in the future from a deep, reoccurring dream he has been having in cryostasis; a dream about the abandonment of his beloved son 'Ricky Mouse'. On realising where he is, Walt undergoes ­ a psychological condition of shattering stress and disorientation – an inability to cope with technological change. Unable to come to terms with his new environment, the trauma is so acute that only moments after his 'rebirth', Walt dies.
