This book does two jobs at once. It provides an informative biography that gives the reader an idea of where Disney, the man, came from and how he achieved his dreams. It also provides an annotated tally sheet of all Disney's artistic and business accomplishments. By exploring Disney's huge impact on American mass media and popular culture (from his courageous start as an animator, to his theme parks) the author gives historic context to the entire Disney vision that held the man's many exploits together.
