Walt Disney was one of the most influential and complicated figures in the history of entertainment. Some saw him as a visionary storyteller who transformed animation, television, themed entertainment, and the way audiences entered imaginary worlds. Others remembered a demanding businessman whose pursuit of control created conflict, exhausted talented employees, and helped trigger one of animation's most important labor disputes.

In this video, you will not find a simple story about one man creating magic alone. You will find the story of repeated failure, enormous risk, disputed ownership, creative collaboration, and an ambition that eventually grew beyond the movie screen.

We follow Walt Disney from his childhood in the American Midwest and the bankruptcy of his first Kansas City studio to Hollywood, the loss of Oswald, the creation of Mickey Mouse with Ub Iwerks, the gamble of Snow White, the 1941 animators' strike, wartime production, television, Disneyland, and his unfinished plan for an experimental city in Florida. We also examine the crucial contributions of Roy Disney, artists, animators, engineers, musicians, designers, and workers whose labor transformed one man's direction into physical reality.

What do you think? Was Walt Disney a visionary who organized imagination on an unprecedented scale, a controlling industrialist who demanded too much from the people around him, or both at the same time?
