Bob Thomas
Walt Disney is an American hero--the creator of Mickey Mouse, and a man who changed the face of American culture. After years of research, with the full cooperation of the Disney family and access to private papers and letters, Bob Thomas produced the definitive biography of the man behind the legend--the unschooled cartoonist from Kansas City who went bankrupt on his first movie venture but became the genius who produced unmatched works of animation. Complete with a rare collection of photographs, Bob Thomas' biography is a fascinating and inspirational work that captures the spirit of Walt Disney.

"I read this book for the first time in high school. Even back then I was a huge Disney fan. But now 7 years later I have decided to read it again because I am even more fascinated with Walt Disney’s life story. I have watched the Imagineers story on Disney + and I have visited the Disney Museum in San Francisco, but I still feel like I will never know enough information. Walt was truly and original and most of what we see in cartoons today is because of the risks he took. Thanks you Walt Disney!"
