Features: Walt Disney is a heroic figure in the United States—he created the cartoon character Mickey Mouse and transformed the face of American culture. His success is highly unique: he brought animated films into the realm of art and made significant contributions to world folk art. After years of in-depth research, Bob Thomas, a writer who has written biographies of many Hollywood stars, portrays the real person behind the Disney myth in the same way: a cartoonist from Kansas City with little formal education, who went bankrupt during his second attempt at filmmaking but ultimately became a genius who created unparalleled animated art, an pillar of the international entertainment industry, and had a profound impact on several generations. The book concludes with some lesser-known photographs that authentically reflect the Disney spirit, making it an inspiring and motivational work.
