Publisher's summary

If you want to discover the captivating life of Walt Disney, then pay attention....

A man truly lives on even after his death if he leaves a legacy that survives him for years to come. Albert Einstein, Harriet Tubman, Karl Marx, Mozart, Marie Curie, Van Gogh, Marsha Johnson - there are so many examples of men and women whose deeds revolutionized history and paved the way for future generations to thrive. One name that stands out in this regard in the world of entertainment is that of Walt Disney. He may not have been a pioneer per se of animation or films, but he was more like the Shakespeare of his genre - he took inspiration from here, there, and everywhere, and he punched it together to create something that is relevant even today.

His contributions are not restricted to the world of films. But do not be mistaken, Disney’s life was neither perfect nor devoid of controversy. Regardless, Walt Disney was truly a cultural icon, whose revolutionary ideas and vision were exemplary and far too advanced for the times. In this book, you'll discover his life from beginning to end.

In Walt Disney: A Captivating Guide to the Life of an American Entrepreneur and Pioneer of Animated Cartoon Films, you will discover topics such as

  • Humble beginnings

The Life Of A Great Dreamer

This audible is enlightening, humorous and empowering. I extremely suggest it to anyone who has ever been observed down upon for being a visionary. Walt Disney's life is proof of how far idealists can go, and The writer has done an excellent job of capturing Disney's dreams.

Educational and Inspiring

I highly suggest this audible. Disney's life is all about the American spirit and strength. He didn't have an accessible life or that didn't have it's ups and downs. Seldom it can understand about a person who just kept continuing within great times and sad.

100% recommend this audible!

This audible was amazing, it was both hilarious & heartbreaking at times, particularly during the parts where Walt was trying to hide his connections when building Disneyworld.
