    Ub Iwerks was not just a rockstar for disney. He invented all kinds of insane photographic techniques, including the giant multiplane camera early Disney films used (see: The Old Mill). Later, his techniques were implemented by Alfred Hitchcock to superimpose the birds in, well, The Birds. Dude had a hand in so much hollywood equipment some of it is still used today. This is the equivalent of finding out the person who drew the original smiley face didn't get enough credit for it, but then went ahead and invented half the stuff you see at the dentist.

      From a legal standpoint, Disney doesn't completely own the Public Domain characters that they use, they just own their original contributions to the Public Domain characters. Anybody can still make a Cinderella or a Rapunzel movie, they just can't use what Disney added to the story, and have to either use or add to the original.

    Ub also created the multiplane camera which basically changed the whole way animated films looked(it allowed them to look more 3d and allowed for different effects). The reason the little mermaid was able to look the way it did was due to Ub's multiplane camera. Animation is done digitally now but literally the multiplane camera still exists via animation software. Ub also never really sought fame and just really loved his craft and invention. I respect the hell out of Ub and animation would be drastically different without him.

    Technically Ub didn't come up with Mickey Mouse, he just redrafted Mickey's design to something that was manageable to animate. Walt had to think of a backup plan after Oswald was just taken from him, he was with his wife on a train back to LA from New York, and it was there he created Mickey. While Walt was creative and a great entrepreneur, he lacked the art skills to be presentable. That was all on Ub, but Ub's legacy was never dismissed and is acknowledged for his work in Disney franchise, including designing the Mouse himself.

      Actually Walt befriended a mouse who lived in the office he kept in KC. Story goes that when Walt left, he took the mouse and set it free behind the office building so another tenant's cat wouldn't hurt it.

      Why this?and why that? Didn’t have a bloody clue!!
      He died about 25 years before I was born.
      every time he asked me something my answer was “I don’t know?”

    Había escuchado que Ub aprovechando la huelga en los estudios Disney regresa. Pero no fue asignado como jefe de animación ya su animación era "anticuada" (perteneciente a la primera fase de los dibujos animados) Y que por ello fue asignado al departamento de efectos especiales donde demostró, una vez más, su genio.

  • @count899
    @count899 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I find it funny that Walt was mad that universal had Oswald the rabbit but little does everyone know that Walt had like 12 characters that were literally stolen off other people including Oswald. The public hated Walt Disney but finally he created 'Mickey Mouse' which was half stolen half not. Then because of sync sound the audience didn't hate Disney anymore. Then since then Disney has been stealing old tales and making it theirs but it's okay because those stories are 'copyright free'. Also Disney is the one that changed all of the copyright laws to benefit them. Although I appreciate them as a company they are very scummy.

  • @art-is-awen8842
    @art-is-awen8842 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I'm not one to defend walt, he was a shitty person. BUT - everyone fundamentally misunderstands how the animation industry works. Walt was a PRODUCER. He got credit for everything because he was the mastermind. He didnt do any of it - he delegated it. He learned quickly that he had zero art talent. But he was a BORN storyteller and innovator and a crazy hard worker. Disney wouldve never existed without walt. Theres a reason Iwerk didnt work (lol). Animators arent necessarily good at plot and direction.
