One of the single most important stories in theme park history has nothing to do with a theme park. This is Walt's Field Day, the Craziest Party Walt Disney Ever Threw.
An Editorial Note on This Production:
This video features many quotes from Walt Disney and his staff, read in the video by actors. Some of these quotes, said decades later, are placed in the story as if they are being said in the moment. This was done in such a way as to not change the meaning or intention of the original quote, but it does alter the context. On a few occasions, a dialogue scene is constructed out of past quotes said at different times. Specifically, Walt most likely did not yell "You commie sons of b----" immediately after Babbitt's mocking of him with the megaphone, but Walt did say those words in reference to Babbitt and the protestors.
These quotes, and this video as a whole, would not be possible without the work of hundreds of researchers, journalists, and writers. Below are a few and where you can find more of their work:

In this episode of Defunctland's third season, Kevin takes a deep look into Disney Studios as they prepare to release the feature film Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and the wild after-party that followed. The closeness of the group of animators is tested when the studio grows too fast, and a difficult strike ensues.

Because there was a Mother that came to Walt Disney to talk about her 15 year old son dating a 20 something Tommy Kirk. Which Walt Disney did talk to Kirk about. And Yes the relationship ended. In ALL the research I my Mom and Grams have done through the years that's the only one that seems to link Walt Disney to any of that sort of thing. And thus Babbitt relationship but they waited to marry til she was 17.

My grandmother (who is now 101 years old!!!) had an aunt who dated an animator who worked at the Fleischer studio. His name was Ted Sears and during the thirties he was hired away by Walt Disney. My grandmother still has hand drawn cards and letters (and, later on, custom printed Christmas cards) from Sears, including at least one where he talks about “Snow White”, which was still in production!!!

Weimar Germany Vs Nazi Germany workers rights and Union were incredibly weaker, maybe in due in part that the Nazi party was kicking out the SPD and wanting to focus everything into financing a continent wide war unimpeded by strikes. Soviets might have done something similar but I'm not that knowledgeable of that in particular.

37:58 - Additional info on the fate of Disney Animators. Ward Kimball: Kimball would continue to work at Walt Disney Studios as an animator until his retirement in 1973 but continued to work for Disney as a Special Assignment Consultant for EPCOT at Walt Disney World. In 1989, Kimball was inducted as a Disney Legend. In 2002, Kimball passed away when he died of complications from pneumonia. He was 88. In 2005, the Disneyland Railroad named their newly acquired Engine No. 5 as "Ward Kimball" in his memory. Fred Moore: After Moore was fired from Walt Disney Studios in 1946 due to his alcoholism, he joined Walter Lantz Productions where he redesigned the characters of Woody Woodpecker and Andy Panda. However, due to Lantz's temporary closure of the studio due to financial problems, he returned to Disney just two years later in 1948. In 1952, Moore tragically passed away when he died in a traffic accident in a highway when he and his wife were heading home after seeing a baseball game with fellow Disney animator Jack Kinney. Prior to his death, Moore was already finished animating the mermaids and the lost boys for the 1953 Disney animated film "Peter Pan." Moore was unable to see the finished film. In 1995, Moore was posthumously inducted as a Disney Legend.

Art Babbitt: After the Disney Animators' strike and serving into World War II, Babbitt filed a lawsuit against Walt Disney for his wrongful termination and unfair labor practices. He would later win the suit forcing Walt Disney Studios to rehire him only to quit to join United Productions of America where he worked on several famous award-winning animated shorts, including "Rooty Toot-Toot" and "Mr. Magoo". Babbitt would later ran the television advertising division of Hanna-Barbera and Quartet Films in the 1950s and 1960s and worked with Richard Williams Studio in London in the 1970s. In 1991, Walt Disney's nephew and Roy O. Disney's son Roy E. Disney contacted Babbitt and they ended the long-standing feud between Disney and Babbitt. Sadly, Babbitt passed away a year later in 1992 when he died of kidney failure. Babbitt's former rivals Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston gave Babbitt a warm and moving eulogy at his funeral service. In 2007, Babbitt was posthumously inducted as a Disney Legend. Ruthie Tompson: Tompson retired in 1975 after working for Disney for almost 40 years. In 2000, Tompson was inducted as a Disney Legend. In 2017, Tompson was honored by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences for her contributions to Disney Animation and the animation industry. In 2020, Tompson became a supercentenarian when she celebrated her 110th birthday. Tompson passed away in her sleep at her Woodland Hills home in Los Angeles, California. She was 111. At the time of her death, Tompson was the last known living Disney animator to have been involved in any capacity with the making of the first four Disney animated films: "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", "Pinocchio", "Fantasia", and "Dumbo".

Walt Disney's micromanagement is often praised when it comes both to animation and to the parks, but nobody can know everything and truly micromanage everything, especially if there are people depending on one. It really shows how a creative person, no matter how hardworking and good in spirit, can't resist breaking under an increasing pressure. It is also worthy to note that while Disney is being critiqued for being a ruthless corporation now, the roots of such acts did not appear at random, and were there for long time already. Great documentary; and indeed, the picket signs were definitely well drawn.

But I pity him from the standpoint that he seemed to be a big man-child to maybe needed to learn a few things and didn't quite know how the real world worked or how relationships with real people worked. That's my reading of them on one hand I would have loved to have been in the same room with the man but on the other hand I wouldn't have.

It’s so insane when you think about how Disney started with “Snow White.” Followed by “Pinocchio.” Followed by “Bambi.” That’s three classic juggernauts back to back to back. Not surprised Disney exploded from that point to where we are now.
@matthewbennett9928

We think of them as juggernauts now but Pinocchio and Bambi did not make money on their first time out in fact Walt wouldn't have another financial success until Cinderella in 1950. Talked by Cinderella the studio was doing so financially poorly that if Cinderella has failed to the studio would have failed and that would have been the end of Walt Disney feature animation.

Well I’ll be damned. I clicked on this expecting the story of an epic and wild party thrown a long time ago and I got that. What I didn’t expect was this episode tackling unions, paranoid “here come the communists” Walt and basically an entire part of Disney’s life I had never heard of before. You keep getting better and better. I swear with a bit more budget this could rival documentaries on Netflix. This is how good these are. Kudos.
@AlexRN
@AlexRN 4 года назад
Timothy Dexter calm down there, Ayn Rand. I think the Disney family turned out okay at the end. Unions were nothing but the slightest of speed bumps in the road for the mogul and the immense success he got. Workers fought for some additional rights while the founder, his kids and his grandkids, still got to be multi billionaires. And yes he was paranoid since some unionizing didn’t mean literal communists had infiltrated anything like he thought so relax.

While it's true that Walt wasn't happy about the union and generally held right-leaning political views, he was not the reactionary swamp creature that left-wing commentators made him out to be. The fact that he accepted the government's offer to make propaganda cartoons during WWII demonstrates he was not pro-Nazi. The fact that he hired MANY Jews both as animators and as songwriters (including the Sherman Brothers) proves he was not anti-Semitic. The fact that he hired Floyd Norman and Tyrus Wong, among others, proves he was not racist.

@@chowderslut2205 Hi, there. Thanks for the thoughtful response. I hope this clears things up. Essentially, I was critiquing the character assassinations against Walt and Art Babbitt(and other strike leaders) rather than Unions, conditions at the Disney studios, etc. Frankly, I think Walt got more emotionally "out of hand" than the strikers, and most of the rumors about him developed in this period continue to this day. But then again, Art Babbitt was a brilliant animator but a pretty antagonizing guy who pushed Walt's buttons and not really the progressive hero people think he is. Nevertheless, I can go on for pages about the strike, but I hope that summarizes my thoughts on the personality clash rather than ideas.

Dude. To say nothing of yet another fantastic video, the song at the end is amazing! It's really above and beyond; for what one would probably be deemed a joke or a throwaway piece, you really brought it. It not only contains, but seamlessly integrates, the darkly humorous and well-written lyrics with a professionally-performed original song, which itself effortlessly encapsulates essences of the pop-punk genre it clearly references. I intend the following as high praise: For a few moments, I was wondering if the song was, somehow, something recorded by a "real" Blink-182-ish band, until the uncannily apropos lyrics irrefutably confirmed its originality. Your content is, just... excellent work. I found your channel on a very recent afternoon, and I've found myself consistently enthralled by the products of the combination of your skill as a raconteur and your choice of stories to spotlight. Two thumbs way up!
