Sinopsis

Walt Before DisneyThere was a time when Disney wasnâÇÖt a brand. Before Mickey. Before Snow White. Before Disneyland. Back then, it was just Walt. Young Walt Disney.Everything that Walt Disney became he credited to where he came from. Historian William SilvesterâÇÖs sheds scholarly pretense and gives a fresh, readable account of Walt Disney growing up on the family farm in Marceline, driving for the Red Cross in France, and creating his first animations in Kansas City.Silvester takes you back to the early 1800s, when WaltâÇÖs grandfather emigrated to New York from Ireland, and follows the Disney tale through WaltâÇÖs escape from his failures in Kansas City to fairy-tale California, and fame.In The Adventures of Young Walt Disney, youâÇÖll read about:ááWaltâÇÖs formative years in Marceline, his Huck Finn-ish exploits, and the small-town values that he brought with him to Main Street, U.S.A.ááWaltâÇÖs adolescence in Kansas City and Chicago, toiling for his father on a brutal paper route and struggling to keep his dreams alive (not to mention himself alive, from an anarchistâÇÖs bomb)ááWaltâÇÖs coming of age in France at the end of World War I, where he drove for the Red Cross, narrowly avoided court martial, and first used his artistic talents for profitááWaltâÇÖs many attempts to jump-start his animation career back in Kansas City, including his now-famous Laugh-O-gram studio, and how he never gave up, even amid debt and bankruptcyááWaltâÇÖs decision to leave Kansas City, with $40 in his pocket, for a fresh start in Hollywood, where this story ends and a bigger one beginsThe Adventures of Young Walt Disney is the official companion to Logan SekulowâÇÖs feature film, As Dreamers Do, available on demand through Amazon, Blockbuster, DirecTV, and elsewhere, and for purchase and Netflix, and for purchase at Wal-Mart, Best Buy, and other retail outlets.Put aside those Mickey ears. They havenâÇÖt been invented yet. Come back to a simpler time, a time when America was changing so fast you had to dream just to keep up with it, a time when the biggest dreamer of them all was imagining the magical future he would soon create.
