This hour documentary profiles Ub Iwerks, the pioneering genius who helped Walt Disney launch an animation empire. It was Iwerks who designed and animated most of Walt's early Mickey Mouse cartoons and created groundbreaking technologies that forever changed the art of animation. This fascinating and intimate film was written, directed and produced by Leslie Iwerks, Ub's granddaughter, and features rare, archival footage from the Disney vaults. |
