Don Iwerks
Book Description
Disney Legend Ub Iwerks is most-often remembered as the animator who worked directly with Walt Disney and first animated Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse, but as this new deluxe volume by Ub's son Disney Legend Don Iwerks reveals, he was so much more. . . . he was Walt's ultimate inventor! Gorgeous never-before-published photographs and fascinating personal memories celebrate the half-a-century career of Ub, a self-taught animator who became an exceptional draftsman, prolific innovator, and all-around technical genius who directly collaborated with Walt to create some of the most loved moments throughout film and theme parks. Even before the creation of Mickey, Walt established a reputation as a technical leader in Hollywood and frequently relied on the counsel, expertise, ingenuity, and creativity of a kindred spirit, lifelong friend, and fellow virtuoso: Ub Iwerks. Up till now, Ub and his many technical inventions and techniques have been largely unknown by the general public. His illustrious career consisted of dozens of innovative contributions, large and small, to both animated and live-action motion pictures, as well as the fields of optics, film processes, and special effects. He was also the major force behind the design of special cameras, projectors, electronics, and audio for theme park projects, and much more. The high standard set by Walt and Ub continues to inspire artists and technicians within The Walt Disney Company as they explore new avenues of quality entertainment. Here is a one-of-a-kind appreciation to an extraordinary man and an outstanding career, a record of his many inventions and accomplishments, and a tribute from a grateful son to his remarkable father.
