Among the hundreds of stories in this volume: Pixar's PETE DOCTER, the Oscar-winning director of Up and Monsters, Inc., examines the forgotten career of John Sibley, Disney's ""Tenth Old Man"", whose animations still dazzle today. FESS PARKER relates how a bit part in the classic 1950s giant ant monster movie Them!& netted him the role of Disney's Davy Crockett. DON IWERKS, son of Walt's first partner Ub Iwerks, chats with Michael Broggie, son of Walt's first Imagineer, Roger Broggie, about their respective careers following in the footsteps of their fathers. VIRGINIA DAVIS recalls her role as ""Alice"" in Walt Disney's Alice Comedies, a series of short films from the early 1920s that predated Mickey Mouse and were equally as important as Mickey in putting Walt on his path to success. The entertaining, informative stories in every volume of Walt's People will please both Disney scholars and eager fans alike.
