Glossary. Bibliography. Index.; 264 pages; Here's the story of Ub Iwerks, one of Walt Disney's closest friends and business associates from the beginning in Kansas City. Ub's unparalleled talent and productivity was directly responsible for the early success with the Alice Comedies, Oswald the Rabbit, and Mickey Mouse cartoons. Later, Ub rejoined the Disney staff following a brief period of running his own studio. After his return to Disney, Ub was responsible for many of the innovative, technical achievements at the Disney studios, such as the development of the multiplane camera and production technique for creating more realistic animation. The biography of Ub Iwerks is a must for understanding the Disney brothers and their success, as well as the history of animation and animated films.
