Walt Disney, a man who made imagination into a global entertainment company. Those who run it today may not be the ideal people but you cannot take away the genius that was Uncle Walt. As a writer and lover of all things fiction no matter how old I am, Walt Disney is an icon.
A bit I would've added about Walt was his role in getting Americans interested in space travel, in collaboration with none other than Werner Von Braun (who could be a subject of his own video).
No, he'd rather tell us about how Walt was obsessed with communists he said were trying to ruin his company. Hmmmmmmm... I think Walt was right, and I'm beginning to trust bald man with glasses who loves warrior women a bit less.
@@TheFailLord72 Walt was right. If anything he actually underestimated the communist threat, as we would find out when the KGB archives were opened in the 1990s. The Soviets spent about as much as your average political candidate in the US does on campaign ads, every single year, from 1929 to 1989, just on influencing pop culture here. Explains a lot about the modern state of entertainment, doesn't it?
Simon thank you for sharing this video!! I was a Disneyland cast member for 11 years from '75 - '86. It was the best time of my life! We were paid well. The benefits were excellent. Full time employees could sign ourselves and 3 others into the Park whenever it was open with s couple evening exceptions. We had company parties and given collectibles. They even gave us stock! Castmembers referred to Uncle Walt but that was the way we saw him as young children on the TV.
This is a good representation of my memories of the history of Disney. I'm not throwing shade at anyone here. Things are what they are and were what they were. We all learn over time and Walt Disney is hero to a lot of people despite things we know he did that we wouldn't accept now. I look up to uncle Walt because his company brought me entertainment as a child.
You got a LOT wrong (listed it below). I'm an animator, so I know and have read EVERYTHING there is to know about Walt. You got a lot right (especially concerning the strike), and I won't hit the THUMBS DOWN button, because you tried... Walt was rejected from the Army because he was underage (15). He later falsified his birth certificate (to age 16) so he could join the Red Cross. Walt never won a scholarship to the Kansas City Art Institute (he may have saved money to take a class or two there). After the war, Walt worked for the post office (seasonally for the holidays) and later Pesmin-Rubin as a temporary freelance artist. THAT's where he first met Ubbe Iwwerks (full name, shortened later to Ub Iwerks). After being laid off, and trying to start his own advertising art agency with Ub (which floundered), Walt got hired at Kansas City Film Ad Company, and later got Ub hired there. THAT's where he started to toy around with animation. The women were called INKERS, not colorists (even later when cartoons switched to color). His studio was initially called the Disney Brothers Studio, later WALT DISNEY STUDIO, not Walt Disney Cartoons. Walt's breakdown in the 1930's was mainly caused from SEVERE overwork, and the pressures of keeping his small studio afloat. He worked long hours back then (he was always the last to leave the studio), sometimes seven days a week. As he said later, "I cracked up. I was expecting more from the men than they were able to give me, and all I did all day long was pound, pound, pound." BUT, in those ten years (from around 1929 to 1939) Walt's animators and artists practically re-invented animation, brought it from a crude medium (artistically) to an art form, and developed animation principles that are STILL USED TODAY.
2:55 - Chapter 1 - Toilet paper & start ups 9:25 - Chapter 2 - House of mouse 11:00 - Chapter 3 - Your wish will soon come true 16:25 - Chapter 4 - A triumph of the imagination
Another fact that know is that he regularly visits his home town in Missouri and planned for a Disneyland there hoping to give back to his town. The man overall I truly believe was a good man who had flaws but did care for the people he cared for which were quite a lot.
I have always adored fantasia, as a child, it made me want to learn to play piano, and nothing is more brilliant than Mary Poppins, except, just maybe, my fair lady or the sound of music,
I'm astounded that Fantasia wasn't a hit. When I was a child in the 80s my parents spoke about it with such reverence and I watched it nonstop. Even the scary bits with the dinosaurs and demon mountain.
I still cry and so does my oldest daughter every time we see Dumbo. Now days there's always some issue about stereotypes, but that Movie is one of the greatest emotional feel good endings ever! Injustice defeated.
One of my favorite Disney facts is that his cartoons were influential on early anime and manga. So we can partially thank Disney for the Japanese mediums that have spread around the world and influenced a whole new generation of creators (including myself, though I stick to horror literature).
Nowadays, it's not uncommon for cartoons and especially for anime to have variable framerate. Although colouring frames isn't expensive in the computer age, drawing them is. Slower scenes can be drawn at a lower framerate, thus reducing costs. Even anime that are known for flashy high budget scenes do this, diverting budget away from slow scenes and into those flashy scenes.
Walt Disney is one of my biggest heroes as a businessman and an artist with big dreams and a visionary to see them through. Taking risks to make a grand empire.
Yer Maw “I heard Walt Disney was a pedo! Where? Some guy. But I’ll stick to my guns about it without any evidence and call anyone who disagrees with me one too. A guy who made my childhood cartoons being such a pedo is edgy and against the norm. How unique I am to believe something so out there.” That is really embarrassing.
7:15 Just for reference, that is Roy E. Disney, Walt’s nephew. He would go on to be a memorable part in the Walt Disney Company, but he is not his father. I love Biographics, and know that this issue has probably been pointed out before. In any rate, continue what you are doing and best of luck to you!
From Personally Driving Staff Home, to Feeling that Passionate about a production, that he felt the Need to Dismiss other Staff for what he felt was Bringing His Creations into Disrepute is not the sign of a "Tyrant". He was a Businessman and Innovative Creator who was ALWAYS PASSIONATE in his endeavors. If you are Passionate about something, it's never Just Business, IT'S PERSONAL!!! That's how people Succeed.
Been to Hong Kong Disneyland, watched the PBS American Experience documentary about Walt Disney, watched the segment of Drunk History about him and Ub Iwerks, watched defunct Disneyland rides on Defunctland... now you tell me.
Simon: When you hold up books for the audience to see, it would probably be better if you didn't wave the books about like a madman. Try holding still for 2 seconds!
I worked at Disneyland for 7 years. Most if not all cast members would agree with you. It used to tear me up when assigned to stand under Walt's apartment for backstage blowout. This was done after fireworks on very crowded summer nights to ease congestion of guests leaving. However, Walt never would have allowed it. Guests should never see the dreary backstage area.
rulrules your have to do some research on how Walt paid, treated, and went about his business with the theme parks. It would take me a while to type them all out
@@veganismisamentalillness7909 Because Seeing the backstage breaks the immersion and ruins the experience of the park guest. Which was a fairly serious thing when Disney was alive. Cleaning ect was to be done at night ect. And it made the parks a standard bar none. Disney also did a LOT of research on parks and how to do things to the highest standards while also keeping a budget in mind.
50 years as the collector of dirt, persecutor of countless citizens, and helped begin the drug war, as Director of the FBI. You might be absolutely corrupt if.......
A True Story... In the 1950s my dad visted a pal at work in Soho London, an when there his pal pointed to a man an said: do you know who that is? Then that man walked over an shook my dads hand an said i'm Walt Disney. This building still exists an is run by 20th century fox
Another excellent video, as always! Now that Walt Disney was covered, it might be a good idea to tackle his greatest rival, Max Fleischer. Keep up the good work!
You should do a story about the "Columbus Day Storm of 1962" which hit Northern California, Western Oregon, Western Washington, and British Columbia. Damages and deaths were overwhelming.
I would have never guessed that was what Jeremy looked like. Granted, I never gave it much thought, but that was not what I was otherwise expecting. Great channel he's got.
Disney as a company is freaking huge and powerful. It's almost scary the kind of power they wield. They lobbied hard to change public domain laws after Mickey was about to enter the public domain way back when.
You never mentioned Disney's most controversial film, "Song of the South." It also combined live action with animation and has some nice tunes. The Disney Company has vowed never to re-release the film and has removed it from their catalog.
There’s surely a way Disney could release Song of the South that would place the film in an appropriate historical context, acknowledging its flaws while making the case for its importance (and the importance of not pretending it never existed) with an assortment of special features. But I’m not sure the public is missing much by not watching it, and Disney continuing to turn a blind eye to the bootlegs that exist in the digital space is arguably a lesser evil than trying to wring more profit from this thing by putting it out on a new Blu-ray.
It's long been available in Europe. Another interesting point is that when Walt saw the premier of "To Kill a Mockingbird" he said he wished he could make a movie like that but he was afraid the public would never accept a movie like that from him.
@@keithdean9149 You're right. I should have been more specific. The film has been pulled from distribution in the States, possibly all of North America. I'm not certain about the latter. The highest quality copy I've seen was a transcoding off a PAL disc.
His old studio on the south side of 31st Street between Troost and Forest is boarded up, but marked with appropriate graffiti as a memorial mural. Many of the people who worked with him here made the move to California, and the list IS rather a "Who's Who" of early cinematic animation. There's also a location in the Crossroads District that celebrates his work.
Also Music Video Sins- run by the same person. I have saved so much time and money from this channel- don't have to watch the movies but have seen enough to get a good idea
Till this day, Walt lays within his cryogenic chamber in dormancy, his company having grown immensely since his "death", awaiting the day when he is revived to take over the world.
CHARLES MINTZ, LIKE THE VILLIAN FROM UP! wow, this is why I am a fan of Disney! There are so many hidden details that just make it super interesting to watch
7:38 you mention that 24 frames/sec were required to be colored by hand... that's because Disney's crew wanted everything to be on 1s. Smoother, cleaner, and higher production values. Things nowadays are often drawn on 2s or 3s (12/8 frames per sec respectfully) to help push out the product faster and reduce overall cost per piece. This is especially prominent in shows that stream to disney+ or bandai/viz media anime (also the DC animated movies)
So much misinformation here. Walt was not the youngest, his sister Ruth was the youngest. Walt did not draw on toilet paper. And he was deployed, he served in France.
It’s usually the narcissistic people who become successful directors like Walt Disney. Not surprising at all how controlling and super sociopathic he was. But I’ll give it to Walt Disney, it takes an asshole to get his ideas and dreams on screen.
Andrew Harris Oh I can’t. This first time my mom and dad took us to Disneyland, decades ago, was so magical to me. It’s such a precious memory for my two brothers, sister, and I. I can remember the entire day like it was yesterday. My dad was an enlisted rank Marine-career military serving in WWII, rain away and joined the Marines at 16, Korea and Vietnam, and with four kids money was tight. I found out years later they saved an entire year to be able to afford the trip from Texas, we drove everywhere-i still love a road trip-hotels, food, and tickets to go to Disneyland. Our parents have passed on but that memory and many others they created with us lives on giving me such pleasure thinking back on our childhood which Disney movies and Disneyland was a good part of. Great times and we four are still incredibly close in touch almost everyday.
I would also like to say that Walter Elias Disney was a true American and I hate to hear his name dragged through the mud by people claiming he was a fascist this man lied about his age to fight for our country later went on to make some of the most important propaganda pieces of World War II without Walt Disney we may very well lost that war
That is the most inaccurate trash I've seen in AGES. Stan Lee was a HUGE fan of Walt's. Adored the guy. That whole thing is a total hackjob, do not look to it for factual info.
9:14 only immortal due to the congressmen in Disney's pockets; when a law gets inconvenient, change it, and to hell with what the common peasants think or the effects on them.
As a peasant, I don't think it's fair for the public to have the right to essentially own a character still in use by the original company -which is still around. If the Disney company was sold off and dissolved, yes I would expect the character to eventually belong to the public. Besides, what do we lose? So we can't make money off of a dead man's life ambition in the form of a cartoon mouse...doesn't change my life any.
We went from "architect of terror" to "architect of the holoicaust" and now "architect of dreams" When will we get an episode on the guy that constructed the hagia sophia, and call him the architect of wonderS?

You never mentioned Disney's most controversial film, "Song of the South." It also combined live action with animation and has some nice tunes. The Disney Company has vowed never to re-release the film and has removed it from their catalog.
Thought the same thing, trouble is they have a popular ride that is based off of brer rabbit and animated folks from that movie.
There’s surely a way Disney could release Song of the South that would place the film in an appropriate historical context, acknowledging its flaws while making the case for its importance (and the importance of not pretending it never existed) with an assortment of special features. But I’m not sure the public is missing much by not watching it, and Disney continuing to turn a blind eye to the bootlegs that exist in the digital space is arguably a lesser evil than trying to wring more profit from this thing by putting it out on a new Blu-ray.
It's long been available in Europe. Another interesting point is that when Walt saw the premier of "To Kill a Mockingbird" he said he wished he could make a movie like that but he was afraid the public would never accept a movie like that from him.
@@keithdean9149 You're right. I should have been more specific. The film has been pulled from distribution in the States, possibly all of North America. I'm not certain about the latter.
The highest quality copy I've seen was a transcoding off a PAL disc.
This is TH-cam not the history channel

So... animators have been perverted since the beginning.
This, oddly fills me with a sense of pride, and I can't draw worth sh&^$
What if they weren't? That would mark a milestone for Walt to be an empathetic philanthropist.
Awesome video 🔥
Ub Iwerks next and you have the roots of Disney. Max and Dave Fleischer would be great as well and on the theme of art & animation pioneers ...
Winsor McCay.
His old studio on the south side of 31st Street between Troost and Forest is boarded up, but marked with appropriate graffiti as a memorial mural. Many of the people who worked with him here made the move to California, and the list IS rather a "Who's Who" of early cinematic animation. There's also a location in the Crossroads District that celebrates his work.
"So now you might be asking 'Mortimer who??'"
Nah... anyone interested in watching a video about Walt Disney knows exactly who Mortimer Mouse is/was.
Plus didnt he become a character too? He was like the Wario to Mario
I'd never herd of Cinema Sins until your promo.
I recommend looking them up. It’s accurate and hilarious
@@terryts2 Sarcasm?
Cinema Wins does a better job. I just got tired of Cinema Sins negativity and mostly redundant or unimportant criticisms.
@@terryts2 Check out the many 'whats wrong with cinema sins' videos made, they're far more accurate and hilariouser.
Also Music Video Sins- run by the same person. I have saved so much time and money from this channel- don't have to watch the movies but have seen enough to get a good idea
Till this day, Walt lays within his cryogenic chamber in dormancy, his company having grown immensely since his "death", awaiting the day when he is revived to take over the world.
CHARLES MINTZ, LIKE THE VILLIAN FROM UP! wow, this is why I am a fan of Disney! There are so many hidden details that just make it super interesting to watch
My good friend is married to the first black animator for Disney, Floyd Norman. Cool ass dude.
Fantasia used to give me nightmares
7:38 you mention that 24 frames/sec were required to be colored by hand... that's because Disney's crew wanted everything to be on 1s. Smoother, cleaner, and higher production values. Things nowadays are often drawn on 2s or 3s (12/8 frames per sec respectfully) to help push out the product faster and reduce overall cost per piece. This is especially prominent in shows that stream to disney+ or bandai/viz media anime (also the DC animated movies)
So much misinformation here. Walt was not the youngest, his sister Ruth was the youngest. Walt did not draw on toilet paper. And he was deployed, he served in France.
How trippy....it’s like I got some Cinemasins in my Simon Whistler....fun! It’s cool Cinemasins is big enough now to actually offer sponsorships 😮😄🥳
Philo Farnsworth, forgotten inventor, early television pioneer, etc. Enough said.
Thank you .
My favorite Disney movie is Mary Poppins.
Hmm you know what? I don't hate him anymore I just hate what his company has turned into.
Finally! Thank God. I was surprised you guys haven't done him years ago.
That last quote is really important. Loi
It’s disappointing that nobody remembers Oswald, he came first and pretty much paved the road for Mickey
Thank you!
Can you please do one on the Outlaw Jesse James
About time for a video on good old Uncle Disney!
@03:01, Eliza? Really?
M-I-C
I rock the MIC properly!
K-E-Y
Turning profits I got the KEY!!!
I'm the Juggernaut of stacking knots unstoppably!
First thing I thought, too!😂🤣😂
It’s usually the narcissistic people who become successful directors like Walt Disney. Not surprising at all how controlling and super sociopathic he was. But I’ll give it to Walt Disney, it takes an asshole to get his ideas and dreams on screen.
Him and Mel Blanc are two of my heroes!
What hidious grammar.
Walt Disney had many faults but can we imagine no Disney?
Dee Marie Dubois Yes.
Andrew Harris Oh I can’t. This first time my mom and dad took us to Disneyland, decades ago, was so magical to me. It’s such a precious memory for my two brothers, sister, and I. I can remember the entire day like it was yesterday.
My dad was an enlisted rank Marine-career military serving in WWII, rain away and joined the Marines at 16, Korea and Vietnam, and with four kids money was tight. I found out years later they saved an entire year to be able to afford the trip from Texas, we drove everywhere-i still love a road trip-hotels, food, and tickets to go to Disneyland.
Our parents have passed on but that memory and many others they created with us lives on giving me such pleasure thinking back on our childhood which Disney movies and Disneyland was a good part of. Great times and we four are still incredibly close in touch almost everyday.
Well, as of late... I'm actively wishing it would go away and shut up for a while, before it ruins anymore classics and childhood memories.
WB have joined the chat
Yes.
Still have my copy of Fantasia on VHS! One of my favorite things to watch as a kid and inspired by love for classical music.
and his employees are treated even worse today.
If I had a time machine, I'll make sure they are treated even better with respect, kindness, dignity, care, understanding, and humility.
I would also like to say that Walter Elias Disney was a true American and I hate to hear his name dragged through the mud by people claiming he was a fascist this man lied about his age to fight for our country later went on to make some of the most important propaganda pieces of World War II without Walt Disney we may very well lost that war
thank you.
11:05 Damn Simon I see the resemblance!
I think watching Epic Rap Battles of History: Jim Henson vs Stan Lee is important.
That is the most inaccurate trash I've seen in AGES. Stan Lee was a HUGE fan of Walt's. Adored the guy. That whole thing is a total hackjob, do not look to it for factual info.
9:14 only immortal due to the congressmen in Disney's pockets; when a law gets inconvenient, change it, and to hell with what the common peasants think or the effects on them.
As a peasant, I don't think it's fair for the public to have the right to essentially own a character still in use by the original company -which is still around. If the Disney company was sold off and dissolved, yes I would expect the character to eventually belong to the public. Besides, what do we lose? So we can't make money off of a dead man's life ambition in the form of a cartoon mouse...doesn't change my life any.
Ha! Two of my favourite channels coming together
We went from "architect of terror" to "architect of the holoicaust" and now "architect of dreams"
When will we get an episode on the guy that constructed the hagia sophia, and call him the architect of wonderS?
"Actual Architect"
@@Biographics "actual architect" is also a very great video title. and im pretty sure there are some legendary tier architects worth covering that build fancy stuff in a time period which was generally considered unfancy.
Oh well
i wish that the entire biographics team has a great day and a great week!
@@AftermathRV notable actual architects - Frank Gehry for starters, Jorn Utzon (did the Sydney Opera House which is a story in itself), Le Corbusier, Renzo Piano ....
*Missouri represent*
Yay I'm pretty sure I requested this also if anyone is curious about Oswald the lucky rabbit, Jon Solo did a video on its history and how Oswald came back to the house that the mouse built.
A TH-cam channel advertising on a smaller TH-cam channel. My brain broke
Canadians in America are awesome!!!
When I lived in Marina Del Rey, I remember sailing
past Walt's nephew Roy's yacht, Pyewacket.

I recently watched another video from Literature Devil that asked the question, which is more heroic? A hero for whom doing the right thing is easy and takes no risks in doing so a hero that is flawed and works hard to overcome those flaws in order to do the right thing.
that "nervous breakdown" was just looked over.
