Book excerpt: The definitive portrait of one of the most important cultural figures in American history: Walt Disney. Walt Disney was a true visionary whose desire for escape, iron determination and obsessive perfectionism transformed animation from a novelty to an art form, first with Mickey Mouse and then with his feature films–most notably Snow White, Fantasia, and Bambi. In his superb biography, Neal Gabler shows us how, over the course of two decades, Disney revolutionized the entertainment industry. In a way that was unprecedented and later widely imitated, he built a synergistic empire that combined film, television, theme parks, music, book publishing, and merchandise. Walt Disney is a revelation of both the work and the man–of both the remarkable accomplishment and the hidden life. Winner of the Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography USA Today Biography of the Year

Book excerpt: Step into the extraordinary life of Walter Elias Disney, the visionary American animator, film producer, and entrepreneur whose innovative spirit shaped the landscape of animation, entertainment, and imagination. This meticulously researched biography invites readers to journey through the remarkable trajectory of Disney's legacy, from his humble beginnings to his enduring impact on global culture. Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney's passion for art and storytelling ignited at a young age. His creative journey led him to co-found the Disney Brothers Studio alongside his brother Roy, giving birth to timeless characters like Mickey Mouse. Disney's groundbreaking animation techniques ushered in a new era of cinema, introducing sound, color, and breathtaking innovation through films like 'Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs' and 'Fantasia.' As his creative empire expanded, so did his influence. Disney's vision extended beyond the silver screen to encompass the enchanting realm of amusement parks, with Disneyland opening its gates in 1955. His multifaceted endeavors, from television programs to ambitious urban planning projects like EPCOT, showcased his boundless imagination and indomitable spirit.

Through the lens of history, his legacy has been examined from various perspectives, revealing the intricate layers of his impact on American culture and global entertainment. With insights into his personal struggles, his contributions to film and animation, and his ambitious ventures into themed entertainment, this biography unveils the captivating journey of a man who left an indelible mark on the world.
