Walt Disney's Ultimate Inventor ; The Genius of Ub Iwerks (Disney Editions Deluxe): The Genius of Ub Iwerks - Foreword by Leonard Maltin

A great read, very informative in every way imaginable!

Bellissimo libro ma la sovracopertina è arrivata danneggiata!!

Before I read this book, I knew very little about Ub Iwerks. He and Walt started out as a 2 man team originally. Ub, a talented artist transitioned to inventing all kinds of equipment that revolutionized the art of animation as well as many of the mechanical systems required for The Disney Company.Don, Ub's son, does an excellent job of chronicling his father's creative genius as well as providing a huge pictorial history of the animation process and development during his life.This is a large coffee table worthy book with plenty of pictures and explanations for any Disney enthusiast.

This is a really well done history of the Disney legend Ub Iwerks! As told by another Disney legend Don Iwerks, it was my good fortune to work with and know Don at Imagineering. Don is simply a gentleman and a consummate contributor to the Theme Park industry bar none! I highly recommend this book for your Disney collection! You will discover the inside story behind many of the Disney films and attractions you’ve come to love!

Who ever heard of him? We've been at WDW Florida since it opened, but I'm happy to know more about Walt and the people/artist who helped spread the World of Disney. I'm looking forward to a deeper read of this book and to discovering more about Ub; his contributions were a part of Disney's dream and I'm anxious to know more.
