Review

"[Neal] Gabler (WINCHELL) scours the historical record for as thorough an explanation of that influence as any biographer could muster. Every period of Disney's life is depicted in exacting detail." [starred review]

"Gabler's remarkable biography lends Mickey's creator new dimensions and sets the standard for future biographies." [starred review]

Publisher's note

"A definitive portrait of a giant of twentieth-century American popular culture offers a meticulously researched study of the private life and public career of Walt Disney, from his deprived and disciplined youth, to his seminal contributions to the art of animation, to his visionary creation of the first synergistic entertainment empire, to his reclusive and lonely private world. 100,000 first printing."

Annotation

In this even-handed and thoughtful biography, Neal Gabler dispels the myths of Walt Disney as a lovable patriarch or a vicious anti-Semite. The biography does not gloss over Disney's many faults, his occasional tyrannies, or his growing paranoia, but in the end Gabler paints a more complicated portrait. He depicts a man hungry for control of his surroundings, a child who grew up during the Depression and would eventually create a utopian fantasy for himself and for millions.
