Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination
by Neal Gabler
by Neal Gabler
Really inspiring reading, even if you're sympathetic or not for Disney's projects (animation, movies, theme parks, advertising, music, politics, engineering) this book provides a deep journey into Walt Disney's career, his hunger for a new challenge, preferable if it comes as apparently impossible and and the ways he always found to run over the financial obstacles. Actually his brother Roy was responsible for that part, but, anyway, What Walt did and how He did it is covered in all the negative and positive aspects in this book.
This book has a special flavor to me, once I'm addicted on Disney features and used to watch them before even learning how to speak.
In the first half of it I could feel like If I would be in an ancient animation studio, watching the arising technology, the imposed difficulties to produce animated movies in the early 1930's to 50's and understanding how much sacrifices are required in order to make a dream come true. It sounds naive and common place, actually really Disney, but it does not mean it's deeply true.
