Walt Disney: Triumph of the American Imagination by Neal Gabler

The acclaimed biography of Walt Disney serves as a basis for an epic film about the man's life. Disney's life begins in the middle west where he gains artistic ambitions. His early ventures in art and animation are failures, but a successful series of shorts about a little girl in a cartoon world gives him a paycheck and success. After legal problems with a new character, Disney creates Mickey Mouse, the character who will bring him world wide fame. Always advancing the form with animated feature film and live action as well as theme parks and urban planning, the truly complicated man suffered personal turmoil and angst throughout his life.
