Podcasts about Ub Iwerks

For this new episode of the podcast, Chris and Alex try and do justice to the global stardom of perhaps the most famous animated character of them all - Mickey Mouse. They are joined by David McGowan, who is Lecturer in the Contextual and Theoretical Studies of Animation at the University of the Arts London, as well as author of Animated Personalities: Cartoon Characters and Stardom in American Theatrical Shorts (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2019), to explore Mickey's enduring celebrity both on and off the animated screen as well as contradictory elements to his stardom that supported his move from cartoon protagonist to animated icon. Listen as the trio discuss Mickey's shifting star persona and performance style across the three shorts The Karnival Kid (Walt Disney & Ub Iwerks, 1929), Mickey Steps Out (Burt Gillet, 1931), and Clock Cleaners (Ben Sharpsteen, 1937) to map the character in relation to several topics, including cartoon aesthetics and Disney animation's shift from plasmaticness to hyper-realist registers of representation; romance narratives and the extra-textual coupling of Mickey with Minnie Mouse; the cartoon's move away from self-reflexivity towards the rounding out of “personality animation”; Mickey's musicality and modernity, as well as the character's similarities to Felix the Cat and other animated celebrities of the period; and how Mickey's links to values of sincerity, intimacy, and humanity perfectly position him as the quintessential animated star. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

Walt Disney è un ragazzo con una missione di vita: diventare un disegnatore. La sua carriera comincia in uno studio pubblicitario dove conosce quello che diventerà suo socio e amico fidato: Ub Iwerks. La strada per il successo purtroppo è disseminata di sfide durissime; povertà e crisi d'identità lo spingeranno sull'orlo del baratro.

This time we take a look at Gabby's final two (of three) appearances in the original Looney Tunes shorts, each one increasingly directed by Bob Clampett (with Chuck Jones as assistant director!). Does Gabby's character improve over his first appearance? Does Bob Clampett's direction win out against Ub Iwerks in quality? Are either of these cartoons worth watching today?

Ub Iwerks is a man who's come up multiple times already on this podcast, from his essential work on the earliest Mickey Mouse cartoons to his solo career after he left Disney. But he also had a very brief stint at Warner Bros, during a period of time where he was contracting out to various studios, including Columbia Pictures. So here we compare two of his 1937 cartoon, made at two different studios, along with beginning to chart the evolution of the Looney Tunes character Gabby Goat, who was the Warner Bros' attempt at an answer to Disney's Donald Duck. Are the cartoons good, and is Gabby a fun character? Listen to find out! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/howsitholdup/support

As an unapologetic Millennial, Kyle grew up watching old Disney cartoons on VHS. That's why he's so stoked to talk to his friend, GM of Geek & Sundry's new show Sagas of Sundry: Goblin Mode, Amy Vorpahl, all about them! They get into all the greats, plus the weird ones from the ‘80s no one remembers. Also get a whole history of Ub Iwerks. 

Disney...a name that can stir emotions, excite the senses, and bring memories flooding back from anyones childhood. Walter Elias Disney was a man from humble beginnings who, through his love for animation, storytelling, and sheer determination, created an entertainment empire that spans the globe. Mickey Mouse is one of the most recognizable symbols in the modern world. "I'm going to Disneyland" is what every Super Bowl MVP shouts after winning the game. And today the Mouse House has become more than Walt could have ever dreamed. But how did this whole thing start? How did Mickey come about? How did Walt and his team of animators revolutionize animation and the movie making industry forever. Tune in and find out.

Que serait Walt Disney sans Mickey Mouse, son personnage le plus emblématique ? La célèbre souris, avec sa culotte rouge et ses gants, est inséparable de l'univers créé par le dessinateur.Mickey est imaginé en 1928 par Walt Disney, en collaboration avec le producteur Ub Iwerks. Il aura donc bientôt cent ans et devrait même tomber dans le domaine public cette année.Comme c'est le privilège de tous les personnages de fiction, Mickey Mouse n'a donc pas pris une ride. Ce qui n'a pas empêché les internautes français de se poser une curieuse question : "comment Mickey Mouse est-il mort ?".Le sort du célèbre personnage de Disney semble même beaucoup les intéresser. En effet, en 2023, cette question a été le plus souvent posée sur le moteur de recherche Google.La principale curiosité de nos compatriotes, et sans doute de bien d'autres internautes, ne porte donc pas sur la guerre en Ukraine ou le réchauffement climatique, mais sur le décès supposé d'une créature de celluloïd.Poser cette question est devenu une véritable tendance. Comme souvent de nos jours, elle a été initiée et amplifiée par les réseaux sociaux, en l'occurrence TikTok. Très apprécié des jeunes, ce réseau social a lancé la mode après la publication d'un article du "Washington Times", qui s'intitulait : "le tragique suicide de Mickey Mouse".Malgré son titre, l'article ne traitait pas du trépas de Mickey, mais des changements que Disney apporta à son image de marque au cours de sa carrière.TikTok a donc demandé à ses utilisateurs de poser cette question sur la "mort" de Mickey et de filmer leur réaction devant la réponse apportée par Google. De fait, les réponses données par le moteur de recherche valent, sinon pour leur exactitude, du moins pour leur originalité.À l'en croire, la fameuse souris serait morte d'une "explosion" de son cœur ou aurait été assassinée par une célèbre héroïne de série. Or ni Walt Disney ni ses successeurs n'ont réservé un tel destin à leur mascotte. Près d'un siècle après sa création, Mickey Mouse a toujours bon pied bon œil. Hébergé par Acast.

The creation of Mickey Mouse has impacted the world in a major way. To celebrate this iconic character's 95th birthday, we wanted to discuss what a world without Mickey Mouse would look like. What if Walt Disney was able to keep the rights to Oswald the Lucky Rabbit? Would he have created Mickey with Ub Iwerks? Would we have the animated movies that we know and love today?

NOT ON DISNEY+ MONTH on Escape From Vault Disney just keeps on lumbering along! For our fourth and penultimate week of Not On Disney+ Month, the randomizer goes all the way back to 1999 to cover a documentary on the man who originally created, designed and animated the world's most famous tri-circled talking cartoon rodent. The rodent's name was of course Mickey Mouse, but the man's name, contrary to popular belief, was not Walt Disney, nor was it arguably a human name at all. I mean, the guy was a real human, but his name sounded more like a random handful of letters pulled out of a Scrabble bag. It rhymes with "Tub Bi-Twerks" for God's sake.

And now for something completely different! Well... sort of. We've seen Ub Iwerks' work before, back when he helped Mickey Mouse get his start. But Ub parted ways with Disney a few years after that, and went off to do his own thing! The most famous thing he did with his solo work was his Flip the Frog series, but today we're watching a short from the follow-up series, which he made for MGM!

It's a big proposition to get started on the next 100 stories from Within The Realm. Some may wonder, how does a fella have so many tales tucked away in his mind. Folks that know me well, know that I have a million of ‘em and they wish I would hush, at least for a little bit. Well, the good news is that today is not a day I feel inclined to hush, so we'll move forward with our story for today after we hear from the good folks that help me bring you our show. After that I have a story about the center of the universe, it's closer than you might think. (music/Commercials/stinger) Thanks for inviting me back to your podcast listening device. Be sure to check out the show notes in the info on this episode for news about the show & how to contact us. We would love to hear from you. This episode might reveal my roundabout way of dealing with a story. I can't seem to follow a straight line from one end of a story to the next, but hopefully that makes them interesting. I tell stories that come from the place where the Great Plains, the Ozark Mountains and the Indian Territory collide. A lot of people refer to it as “Fly Over Country” and for a lot of folks they do exactly that, Fly over it on their way to more supposedly interesting places. One thing those people don't know is the Center of the Universe lies beneath them as they jet from coast to coast. The Center of the Universe is in Tulsa, just off 1st and Boston. At this location there is a small circle of concrete in a wide spot on a walking path where a person can stand & hear their conversational tone echoed back to them, but then step off of that circle no echo is produced. Folks come from near & far to hear for themselves & leave satisfied they have experienced something weird. There are those that try to explain away the phenomenon, saying it has something to do with the curved concrete seating on either side of the spot constructed several years ago that produces the echo. They can try to explain it with Science, but those that reside Within The Realm know it's a mystery of the ever expanding variety. But the first to point out Oklahoma's centralness to the Cosmos was the great Oklahoma folksinger, songwriter, actor & quantum philosopher Hoyt Axton. You may remember him as the Dad in Gremlins or from his song Della & the Dealer from the 70s. You DO remember him as the songwriter that gave us Never Been To Spain, The Pusher & the one about the Bullfrog named Jeremiah, Joy To The World. Hoyt was often quoted as saying Oklahoma was the cultural center of the universe. Now that always got a laugh from the folks on either coast, thinking about this place as devoid of anything good. After all the bright lights are in New York and LA. On this one, I'm a disciple of the Bard from Duncan, if we push the boundaries out to incorporate all of that place I call Within The Realm, I think I can make a pretty strong argument that Fly Over Country is, in fact, the cultural center of the universe. This part of the world has been settled for some time, but really didn't fill up til late in the game. It was very much a part of that frontier that Fredrick Jackson Turner based his thesis on, the one Professor Greg Jackson reminded us in the last episode went something like “the frontier made America or the Frontier was the most American thing that America ever America'd.” I put it another way, many of those folks were kicked out of every other decent place in the world and came here. This place was diverse, culturally speaking. Just taking that Center of the Universe location in Tulsa as an example, within just a few blocks of that site, you have the Muskogee Tribes Council Oak, the place where the members of that band of Native Americans met and conferred long before Oklahoma was a State. Within Walking distance from there is the Greenwood District, the Black Wall Street, where a vibrant African American community thrived. And of course downtown Tulsa, owing its very existence to those that came here to make a living from what came out of the ground. Many communities in this vast part of the country had similar communities. Not everything was perfect, but strong communities existed in this place. Out of those strong but separate cultures came the Negro Baseball Leagues, Wild West Shows, Kansas City Jazz & Western Swing. Those same communities produced Will Rogers, Walt Disney, Woody Guthrie & Langston Hughes. And as all that was brewing, Railroads funneled people through Kansas City and Route 66, the Mother Road was built right through the Ozarks, Indian Territory and the Great Plains in the 1920s. This was the road that the “Okies” used in their escape to California in the Great Depression. The term Okie, at least to the Californians who saw them as undesireables in their fair State, applied to all those that came through Oklahoma on their exodus to the west, be they from Texas, Arkansas or Missouri. But once it was all said and done 15% of the population of Oklahoma had headed for the jobs in the fields and the cities they hoped awaited them in the Golden State. This was the first great export of the Within The Realm culture. The Okies took with them their culture just as Will Rogers was the number one box-office draw and Walt Disney and the slew of Kansas City animators like Fritz Freeling and Ub Iwerks, were revolutionizing animation. Count Basie was spreading the popularity of the Kansas City style jazz & radio Station KVOO, the Voice of Oklahoma, was broadcasting the music of Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys across the west. But even after the Depression & World War II, folks from this part of the world made an impact everywhere. The folk music trend of the 50s & 60s was greatly influenced by Woody Guthrie, Oklahoman Jimmy Webb penned some of the greatest love songs of the 60s, including Wichita Lineman & By The Time I Get to Phoenix about a lovelorn Okie headed back to Oklahoma. Newscaster Walter Cronkite, science fiction author Robert Heinlein & radio commentator Paul Harvey spread their Fly Over Country sentimentality to their audiences. S. E. Hinton, a young writer from the middle of nowhere wrote “The Outsiders” that influenced generations of young people. Long before Garth Brooks was the biggest thing ever in Country music, Ozarkian Porter Waggoner delivered Dolly Parton to the World and Eric Clapton regularly scoured the Tulsa scene for backing musicians. Leon Russell, the Master of Time and Space, influenced passels of musicians including a young Reginald Kenneth Dwight, who later became known as Elton John. And we're only scratching the surface of what this place has offered to the rest of the world. I haven't even mentioned Cherry Mash, the ICEE or Kool-Aid. So, for those of you who live Within The Realm, you know who you are, there's lots of history and background in this area. It's more than just trivia. It's a part of the fabric of our country, a country that has an outsized impact of the world. The influence of the people of the place even stretches into the depths of space. Remember it was a Kansas farm boy that discovered Pluto & four men from our little region have walked on or orbited the moon, Alan Bean, Edgar Mitchell, Tom Stafford & Ronald Evans. And then for you folks that have never known the pleasures of living in this stretch of country, those of you who wonder what in the world those folks you are flying over might be doing down there. You might be surprised to know how much the music you listen to, the literature you read and content you consume was created right here...or even how the ability to fly over said region was developed here. There's always more to the story here Within The Realm, the Cultural Center of the Universe. Plenty more stories for another 100 or so episodes.

WTOP Entertainment Reporter Jason Fraley chats with Leslie Iwerks, granddaughter of Mickey Mouse co-creator Ub Iwerks, about her new book "The Imagineering Story." They discuss the creative and technological innovations since Disneyland opened in 1955 and Disney World opened in 1971. (Theme Music: Scott Buckley's "Clarion")

Soprano is a 1958 American animated short film directed by David Chase and Ub Iwerks. It was produced in black and white by Warner Brothers and was released by Celebrity Productions. The cartoon is considered the debut of Tony Soprano and his girlfriend Carmella, although both characters appeared several months earlier in a test screening of Buggs Bunny Eats The Gabagool. Soprano was the third of Warner Brother's films to be produced, but it was the first to be distributed, because David Chase, having seen Hill Street Blues, had committed himself to produce one of the first fully synchronized sound cartoons.

Synopsis We have a silly anniversary to note today – seriously! On today's date in 1929, Walt Disney released his first "Silly Symphonies" cartoon. Entitled "The Skeleton Dance," it depicted four skeletons dancing and making music in a graveyard, employing bizarre instruments, including an unfortunate cat played like a fiddle and the skeletons' own bones, played like a xylophone. While its release on Halloween might have been more appropriate, perhaps "The Skeleton Dance" provided some pleasurable spinal chills for moviegoers on a hot August evening back in 1929. In any case, this "Silly Symphony" was a huge success for Disney, became an instant classic, and was voted #18 in a 1994 poll of "The 50 Greatest Cartoons of All Time" by professional animators. And speaking of classics, a bit of Edvard Grieg's spooky "March of the Trolls" was used to great effect in "The Skeleton Dance." But credit for its success should go first to Carl W. Stalling, a legendary composer and arranger of cartoon music and absolute master of unexpected segues, witty allusions, and surreal orchestration, and second, to pioneering Disney animator Ub Iwerks, likewise a master in his field. | Chuck Jones, an animator famous for his much later Warner Brothers cartoons like Bugs Bunny and the Road Runner, had worked for Iwerks' studio in his youth, and put it this way: "Iwerks is Screwy spelled backwards."

We had a great response! Check out the answers we received:Sheila said “The salmon at the Hollywood Brown Derby in DHS . It was so tasty! The salmon was on a bed of rice in a pool of pesto; with a decorative piece of puff pastry.”Chandler chimed in: “We were on our last day and our last quick service meal during our 3-day visit in Jan, 2020. We were tired, hungry, ready to end our day, and simply needed something to eat. We didn't know anything about Satu'li Canteen, and just happened across it. This ended up being the absolute BEST meal we had. When we visit again in the future, Satu'li will most likely be in the MUST DO list.” – Chandler, from the picture it looks like the Combination Bowl: Grilled Beef & Chicken. Let me know if I'm wrong.Chrissy added her favorites: “The Gray Stuff, Homecoming's Deviled Eggs, Satuli's former Family Platter which had a little of everything on it, and Space 220's King Oyster Mushrooms.”My sister Robin added her Wowza food: “The salad at Liberty Tree Tavern! Stephanie and I scarfed that down like it was manna from Heaven!”Lastly, my friend Cindy added her pick: “It's just a little dessert, but the 50th anniversary lemon chiffon at Sunshine Seasons is amazing and gorgeous!”You can see some of the pictures that were shared with us over at the Facebook Group or you will also see some of them on our YouTube of the episode.Feature Topic: A Look at Disney Legends!This week on the podcast, we are taking another look at some of the incredible Disney Legends that have been selected over the years.

We hope you enjoy this as much as we do!Brenda: Dick Van DykeRichard Wayne “Dick” Van Dyke was born December 13, 1925 (just 11 days before my daddy) in West Plains, Missouri. He is an American actor, producer, comedian and writer.After serving in the Air Force during WWII, he and a friend formed a pantomime act, “The Merry Mules” and performed Laurel and Hardy-type performances in nightclubs across the country. He broke into television and in 1961 he was cast as comedy-writer Rob Petrie on the hit series The Dick Van Dyke Show.Although the show was a huge success, Walt Disney had never heard of him. When casting for Mary Poppins, Dick's name was suggested to Walt and after a private screening of an episode of The Dick Van Dyke Show, Walt chose him on the spot – no audition needed!Dick Van Dyke, of course, played Bert the Cockney chimney-sweep/kite-peddler/sidewalk artist/one-man band in the 1964 Academy-Award-Winning film, Mary Poppins (a film in which Walt Disney devoted four years of his life to creating).When Dick read the script, he decided he also wanted to play the part of the old bank chairman, Mr. Dawes. He told Walt, “I'd like to play Mr. Dawes – and I won't charge you a nickel.” Walt said,

In the second part of their exploration of the history of animation, Alan becomes nearly incomprehensible when talking about the how 3D animation works, Mike goes on an odd tangent about the regional differences in the terms for a lunchbox, and generally the whole thing gets silly. We also talk about animation, specifically some of the more obscure things that had a huge influence on our childhoods (back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth), as well as the crossover point between animation for TV and film and for video games.

On this week's show, Disneyland veterans, David and Ronn dive into several sizzling Disney topics. The Disneyland Resort Phased Reopening – is only at the Halfway Point?  Wait. What? Another year?! That's right, according to Disneyland President, Ken Potrock, who says the Disneyland Resort has only just reached the halfway point of an extended phased reopening with another year needed before operations fully return to pre-pandemic levels. What does that mean? What operational elements remain that would require an entire year to complete? Was this intentional statement intended to reset our expectations? To buy time for something specific? So many questions! Which non-IP rides would we like (hypothetically) to see made into a movie? Will we see Lightning Lane added to Pirates of the Caribbean with the New Orleans Square remodel? Have we ever skipped work to go to Disneyland?Plus, we remember, celebrate, and honor The Ugly Duckling, Private Pluto, Ub Iwerks, the Midget Autopia, the 'Disneyland' television series, The Bathroom of Tomorrow, and Frank Wells in this week in Disney history. All this and the big reveal of our Top 5 Ride  Updates or Refurbishments, and more!

Remember, this is a kind-hearted COMEDY trivia podcast, so there's no need to sue! This week Lynn and Monica join us as we talk about DISNEY, including topics like Carousel of Progress, The Three Caballeros, Der Fuehrer's Face... and much more! Two combatants face off in the Thunderdome... and we play a rousing game of I See What You Did There! Once again, please don't sue!Hopefully we've confirmed Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court... and if not, call your Senators and chew them out.Otherwise, rest and be kind to yourself.Check out Spaceboy Books if you want some amazing indie science fiction: readspaceboy.comAnd listen to the music of Michael J O'Connor and his band The Listening Post: https://michaeljoconnor.bandcamp.com/ & https://thelisteningpost.bandcamp.com/releases

One fateful day in the year 1925, somebody drew some sketches of mice around a picture of Walt Disney. Eventually in 1928 that led to the creation of Mickey Mouse in the cartoon short Steamboat Willie (I should note it was not Walt who designed this character but was instead his friend and colleague Ub Iwerks). From there he was like a runaway steamboat into a town of innocent people, except in this case that town was actually the institution of American copyright law and the townspeople were every single piece of media to ever exist on this Earth. So where am I going with this? Well fast forward to 2002 and suddenly Mickey is sharing the screen with anime, something I'm sure Walt would have just loved to see and definitely would not have hated. Anyways that anime crap is in Smash now, so hey let's talk about Smashterpiece #39: Kingdom Hearts, the gaming industry's dumbest and most resilient crossover franchise between the likes of Disney animation and Final Fantasy. What do we think of how this game aged? Is it worth it to fight that giant Ursula? And why is Yoko Shimomura just the best?Join us next time as we take a little tropical vacation where nothing will go wrong in Smashterpiece #40: Super Mario Sunshine

MICKEY MOUSE THEATRE ON THE AIR! 1938 “Snow White Day” Radio Show! November 18th marks the birthdays of Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse! November 18th was chosen as the anniversary date (by the late Disney historian and archivist Dave Smith) as that's the date that “Steamboat Willie” (by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks) was released. It's the first “talkie” Mickey Mouse cartoon from the Disney Brothers. But Minnie and Mickie made their actual screen debut in “Plane Crazy” on 15 May, 1928. After the success of the sound “Steamboat Willie”, “Plane Crazy” was scored and vocal and sound effects were added, and the short was re-released in 1929! And the first voice of Mickey Mouse in the films? Walt Disney! I always wondered why Mickey didn't have his own radio show. He, and all the characters created by Disney and voiced by such wonderful voice talents would have been a natural. Particularly as music was so important to all of Disney's films, and rapid fire dialogue, character voices, and verbal humor was king in the movies and radio of the 1930s, 40s and 50s. But Mickey and his friends were on the radio in the late 1930s. Perhaps radio, and Walt being primarily a visual storyteller, was just too much for the growing studio after they released their feature animated cartoon, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs”. Of course broadcasters we after Disney to do radio, and when the opportunity to help promote Snow White presented itself, Disney leapt at it, and put his all into it, like he did with everything. Mickey Mouse Theatre On the Air was a short lived variety radio program that debuted on NBC in January, 1938. Remarkably well produced and performed, it moves swiftly and packs the short program with great familiar characters and songs. It's a shame that Mickey Mouse Theater on the Air only lasted until May of 1938, with only about 20 shows produced, broadcast every Sunday afternoon. There are so many wonderful possibilities for Mickey and friends on the radio…it could have been somewhat groundbreaking had it been given the chance, much like The Muppet Show was when it debuted on television in the 1970s… Here's the second show, “Snow White Day”, originally broadcast on January 9th, 1938. With The Felix Mills Orchestra. Spike Jones conducting Donald Duck's Swing Band. Clarence Nash as Donald Duck, Thelma Boardman as Minnie Mouse, Stuart Buchanan as Goofy, and the announcer is Joe Hiestand. Walt Disney appears as himself, and as Mickey Mouse!

This week Allan and Shawn talk about the Lightsaber Workshop at Savi's. We got the scoop on how the Kyber Crystal collecting works and how to get the most rare crystal. We talk about Mephisto's true intentions way back in Brand New Day. For our big topic today we give you a brief history of Ub Iwerks, the man who gave life to Mickey Mouse.

Can you imagine modern entertainment without the creations of Disney? That imagination could very well have been a reality without Ub Iwerks, the creative and hardworking genius behind the Mickey Mouse cartoons and, likely, the entire success of Walt Disney's animation empire.

Podemos afirmar que uma das técnicas de animação mais antigas da história é a técnica de Sombras Chinesas, usadas há milênios. Pra muitos, a primeira animação foi feita por Émile Reynaud usando uma técnica chamada praxinoscópio, que é um sistema de animação de 12 imagens por segundo, e filmes de aproximadamente 500 a 600 imagens Mas a primeira animação oficialmente mesmo nasceu em 17 de agosto de 1908, com o título de "Fantasmagorie" feito pelo francês Émile Cohl. Mas independentemente de quando foi feito ou quem fez, a animação ganhou o mainstream mesmo Walt Disney entrou no jogo. Com o irmão Roy e o amigo Ub Iwerks, criou a Laugh-O-Gram, um embrião do que viria a ser futuramente a Disney. O papel da animação deixou de ser apenas o entretenimento rapidamente, e foi utilizado como propaganda durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial, além de também ser utilizada animações feitas pelo próprio Walt Disney para treinamento de soldados. Walt Disney foi indicado 59 vezes ao Oscar e ganhou 22.

Walt Disney gets most of the credit for creating Mickey Mouse. But few know the real story: Kansas City animator Ub Iwerks, Disney's best friend, was the first to bring the iconic character to life. Then Mickey's success almost tore them apart for good.

Quando falamos sobre a Disney, qual é o primeiro personagem quem vem na sua cabeça? Provavelmente você falou Mickey Mouse, mas afinal de contas, Walt Disney foi o verdadeiro criador do ratinho mais famoso do mundo? No MHM de hoje, Edson Castro desvenda a história por trás de um dos maiores gênios da animação, Ub Iwerks. Ao lado de Walt Disney, Ub ajudou nas primeiras construções do que viria a ser um império! Os dois formavam uma dupla tão inseparável quanto Wody e Buzz ou Mike e Sulley. Criaram juntos Oswald, o irmão perdido do Mickey, que foi um verdadeiro sucesso. Além disso, Iwerks foi responsável por criar toda a tecnologia e metodologia para misturar filmes de live action com animações. E se isso não fosse o suficiente, seu trabalho ainda se estendeu para os parques da Disney, onde foi considerado o primeiro Imagineer! Mas, essa amizade também teve seus altos e baixos. Quer descobrir mais sobre esse artista que ficou no banco de reservas do império da Disney? Aperte o Play e confira agora!

Born in Ogden, Utah. Oldest of 12.By 1930, his large family had moved between Salt Lake City, Twin Falls in Idaho, and Los Angeles where he went to high school. There, he worked a summer job at an ice cream shop near Disney Studios. It’s there that he probably met Walt, who complimented the young Clark on the lettering of the menus, which eventually led him to have the courage to ask Walt for a Job.The Monday after his High school graduation, Clark reported to Disney Studios for a temporary position in 1927.He started work as a camera operator and in the ink and paint department, before moving to work under the guidance Ub Iwerks. He was the only one of the Nine Old Men to work with Iwerks on the Origins of Mickey Mouse. And during the famous character’s development, Clark was promoted to the position of Inbetweener, where he worked on a scene in ‘Steamboat Willie’.When Iwerks left Disney, Clark was made Lead Animator on Mickey Mouse. He also helped to animate the classic scene where Snow White dances with the Seven Dwarfs.He’s also credited for characters like Pinocchio, Cinderella, Alice, and Tinkerbell.Les Clark unfortunately died of cancer in Santa Barbara, on September 12th, 1979.

As the granddaughter of animation pioneer Ub Iwerks and daughter of longtime Imagineer Don Iwerks, Leslie Iwerks automatically earns a niche in film history… but she’s forged a great reputation of her own, with Oscar and Emmy nominations to show for it. Her six-part series The Imagineers helped launch Disney+, while her provocative profile of hackers from Macedonia, Selling Lies, earned critical praise this past year. She’s chronicled the history of Pixar and Industrial Light and Magic and pursued a wide variety of topics that pique her interest. Leonard and Jessie are admirers of her work—and her family.

Disney fans rejoice! Don Iwerks is a Disney Legend himself, but instead of writing a book about his career, he wrote one about his father and fellow Disney Legend, Ub Iwerks. A lot of Disney fans have heard Ub's name and might associate him with the creation of Mickey Mouse or the multiplane camera, but there is so much more to his career. Listen as Don shares stories from his book "Walt Disney's Ultimate Inventor: The Genius of Ub Iwerks." That and so much more on this episode.

Most Disney fans know the story of the early years of Walt Disney's life. He grew up on a farm in Marceline, Missouri, joined the Red Cross underage, and moved to Los Angeles in his early 20's to pursue his passion of animation. But do you know the story of the guy behind Walt Disney who was just as instrumental in the success of the Disney company in many ways? This week I'll tell you all about that other guy on the Word of the Week – Ub. Ub Iwerks was Walt Disney's right hand man for many of his successes and failures. He often gets overlooked, however, when it comes to the praise and accolades that Walt received throughout his adult life. This week, let me tell you all about the guy behind the guy behind the guy, Disney Legend Ub Iwerks and why he was a big part of Walt's success.

"Such perfectly beautiful coats!"The Next Reel's Speakeasy is our ongoing series in which we invite an industry guest to join us and bring along one of their favorite movies to talk about. In this month's episode, we're honored to have two guests join us to discuss one of their favorite films – it's the Bancroft Brothers! That's right, twin brothers Tom and Tony Bancroft, both of whom are animators, are here to chat about Disney's 1961 classic One Hundred and One Dalmatians. We talk about why they picked this film and why this film is a key shift in the world of animation at Walt Disney Studios (hint: it involves xeroxing!). We look at the animators involved – Milt Kahl, Frank Thomas, Marc Davis, etc. – and how they all fit into the looks of characters like Cruella De Vil, Pongo, Perdita, Jasper, Horace and more, really bringing them to life. We discuss the importance of what art director/production designer Ken Anderson and color stylist Walt Peregoy did with the impressionistic backgrounds. We chat about what the film's three directors – Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske and Wolfgang Reitherman – did to bring the film together and how they likely split up tasks. We dig into the really amazing 3D modeling Ub Iwerks helped come up with to make Cruella De Vil's car look more realistic. And, of course, we can't talk about this movie without discussing Cruella's cheekbones, which we do.It's a fantastic conversation with two gentlemen who really know what they're talking about helping us – Pete Wright and Andy Nelson – sound like we know what we're doing. The conversation will really make you look at this movie and animation with so much more respect.
