內容簡介:
The definitive portrait of one of the most important cultural
figures in American history.
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 publihing, and merchandise.
Walt Disney is a revelation of both the work and the man–of both
the remarkable accomplishment and the hidden life.
