Winter Reading 2020 From an Idea to Disney


Beginning with the childhood of Walt Disney, this slim volume covers the development of Disney from the opening of the Disney Brothers Cartoon Studio in 1923 to its place as the biggest entertainment company in the world. Throughout the book, there are illustrations, definitions of key terms, fun facts, and quotes from Disney.  Readers may be surprised to learn that Walt's first success was with a character named Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, before Mickey Mouse was even a glimmer of an idea. Back matter includes a time line, extensive source notes, and a bibliography. Highly recommended for readers with an interest in Disney movies and characters.

P.S. Did you know that Steamboat Willie  (which starred Mickey Mouse) in 1928 was the first cartoon to have sound?
