Pub date: 2019-04-01

Notes from The Listener:

Conversational show about the past, present and future of the Disney empire. This episode features a discussion with a historian and is focused on Walt Disney himself. They also go deeply into the background of Ub Iwerks, an old friend of Disney’s and his long time business partner. Iwerks was, among other things, an animator, and the style of the early Disney cartoons came from him. He’s also responsible for the image of Mickey Mouse that is now the iconic brand identity of the corporation. Yet Iwerks remains relatively unknown — his lack of profile is explored here in detail

This week, Matt and author Jeff Ryan look at the relationship between Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks, and Mickey Mouse, and they discuss some of the unknown contributions of Ub to Disney animation, film SFX, and Disney theme parks.

You can find Jeff's book, A Mouse Divided, on Amazon!

Enjoy.
