Disney's death in 1966 Walsh was part of the seven man committee who ran the company. He wrote and produced The Love Bug which was a huge success. In 1970 Walsh said "I make movies for people between the ages of nine and fourteen. It's a very intelligent and very honest audience... Also I don't make personal statements; I make movies hoping they'll make money so I'll be able to make more movies. I'm a schlock hack and I glory in it. My folks had a tent show and if you tried to make personal statements for audiences in Kentucky and Tennessee they'd burn the tent down." He said he never wanted to direct because "I have flat feet... you have to get up too early" and "you have to talk to actors." He wrote and produced Scandalous John (1971) which he said was his favourite film even though it was the only one to have lost money. Far more popular was Bedknobs and Broomsticks (1971). In 1971 Walsh said his main contributions to the films were "fantasy... I have nutty ideas which any other studio would throw me the hell on the street for but which are very compatible here". His later films included The World's Greatest Athlete (1973), Herbie Rides Again (1974) and One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975). Walsh died of a heart attack in 1975. He was survived by his daughter and two sons.
