From Walt's early sketches from grade school up to & including the building of Disneyland. Talk about knowing branding before people were branding their brands. I love the animation style of the early animated films, especially the backgrounds. It is nostalgic to see these images. Walt, himself, a bit intense, anti-union & perhaps not the easiest person to like amongst us.

[Melissa De Cunto]

A book for a Disney fan to read. Now I know a lot of Disney history. This was a fun read.
