Bringing together over twenty pieces from the late 1920s to the late 1960s this book traces Disneys career from the early classic Steamboat Willie to the construction of Disneyland and the live-action ventures The Mickey Mouse Club and Mary Poppins.

DeMille Disneys testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) and rarely seen pieces from the Disney corporations archives Walt Disney: Conversations reveals a complex visionary whose impact on animation live-action film television and theme parks has never been equaled.
