Walt Disney transformed animation from novelty to art form, first with Mickey Mouse and then with his feature films-most notably Snow White, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Dumbo, and Bambi. Hear author Neal Gabler on how this creative visionary reshaped the entertainment industry by building an empire combining film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise in a way that was unprecedented, and later widely imitated. Seven years in the making and meticulously researched, Neal Gabler's book on Disney is a biographical tour de force. Gabler is the first writer to be given complete access to the Disney archives and the result is the story of a man whose work left an indelible brand on American pop culture.
