This is a spectacular story of error and innovation, a wild ride from a vision to the realization of an iconic cultural landscape. It reflects the park’s uniqueness, but just as strongly that of the man who built it with a watchmaker’s precision, an artist’s conviction, and the desperate, high-hearted recklessness of a riverboat gambler.

Competition was more intense than ever, and technology was changing faster than at any time in the company’s history. His vision came down to three clear ideas: Recommit to the concept that quality matters, embrace technology instead of fighting it, and think bigger - think global - and turn Disney into a stronger brand in international markets.

How to Be Like is a "character biography" series: biographies that also draw out important lessons from the life of their subjects. In this new book - by far the most exhaustive in the series - Pat Williams tackles one of the most influential people in recent history. While many recent biographies of Walt Disney have reveled in the negative, this audiobook takes an honest but positive look at the man behind the myth. For the first time, the book pulls together all the various strands of Disney's life into one straightforward, easy-to-listen-to tale.

Almost everything you know about Mickey Mouse is wrong: He wasn’t Disney’s first star; Steamboat Willie wasn’t his first movie; Mickey wasn’t a nice guy - and Walt Disney didn’t invent him. In 1928, two very different best friends invented Mickey Mouse. And the success tore them apart. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks’ friendship is a story of betrayal, love, war, money, power, tragedy, intrigue, humor, despair, and hope. You’ll love them both - when you don’t want to drop anvils on their heads.

Soon after the birth of Mickey Mouse, one animator raised the Disney Studio far beyond Walt's expectations. That animator also led a union war that almost destroyed it. Art Babbitt animated for the Disney studio throughout the 1930s and through 1941, years in which he and Walt were jointly driven to elevate animation as an art form, up through Snow White, Pinocchio, and Fantasia.

Little more than a century ago, the southern coast of California - bone-dry, harbor-less, isolated by deserts and mountain ranges - seemed destined to remain scrappy farmland. Then, as if overnight, one of the world’s iconic cities emerged. At the heart of Los Angeles’ meteoric rise were three flawed visionaries: William Mulholland, an immigrant ditch-digger turned self-taught engineer; D.W. Griffith, who transformed the motion picture from a vaudeville-house novelty into a cornerstone of American culture; and Aimee Semple McPherson, a charismatic evangelist.

Historia
Long before Marty McFly and Doc Brown traveled through time in a flying DeLorean, director Robert Zemeckis and his friend and writing partner Bob Gale worked tirelessly to break into the industry with a hit. For the first time ever, the story of how these two young filmmakers struck lightning is being told by those who witnessed it. We Don't Need Roads includes original interviews with Zemeckis, Gale, Christopher Lloyd, Lea Thompson, Huey Lewis, and over 50 others who contributed to one of the most popular and profitable film trilogies of all time.

Historia
Comedians Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld never thought anyone would watch their silly little sitcom about a New York comedian sitting around talking to his friends. NBC executives didn't think anyone would watch either, but they bought it anyway, hiding it away in the TV dead zone of summer. But against all odds, viewers began to watch, first a few and then many, until nine years later nearly 40 million Americans were tuning in weekly.

This audiobook chronicles the birth and rise to greatness of the American auto industry through the life of Harley Earl, an eccentric six-foot-five, stuttering visionary who dropped out of college and went on to invent the profession of automobile styling, thereby revolutionized the way cars were made, marketed, and even imagined. Harleys Earl’s story qualifies as a bona fide American family saga. It began in the Michigan pine forest in the years after the Civil War, traveled across the Great Plains on the wheels of a covered wagon, and eventually settled in Hollywood, California.

The lights are coming down. Frank, Dean, and Sammy are about to take the stage. This is the moment we remember, when Las Vegas became classic. And it was at the Sands. Built in 1952 over the ashes of Hollywood Reporter publisher Billy Wilkerson’s last chance in Las Vegas, the Sands was a collective effort. Underworld figures like Meyer Lansky, Doc Stacher, and Frank Costello provided the cash.

Almost everything you know about Mickey Mouse is wrong: He wasn’t Disney’s first star; Steamboat Willie wasn’t his first movie; Mickey wasn’t a nice guy - and Walt Disney didn’t invent him. In 1928, two very different best friends invented Mickey Mouse. And the success tore them apart. Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks’ friendship is a story of betrayal, love, war, money, power, tragedy, intrigue, humor, despair, and hope. You’ll love them both - when you don’t want to drop anvils on their heads.

In this new book - by far the most exhaustive in the series - Pat Williams tackles one of the most influential people in recent history. While many recent biographies of Walt Disney have reveled in the negative, this audiobook takes an honest but positive look at the man behind the myth. For the first time, the book pulls together all the various strands of Disney's life into one straightforward, easy-to-listen-to tale.

Disney Declassified isn't about the analysis of the Disney Company at a deep or philosophical level - actually, it's quite the contrary; it's a collection of true stories with Disney being the setting or the catalyst in situations that are very un-Disney-like. In some of these instances, not every Disney story ends happily ever after. However you feel about Disney, lover or hater, explore these stories and many more, when the real world collides with Disney and their world. Chances are you may never view Disney the same way again!

Essentially a curation of articles and straight facts about Walt, the movies, and parks
Lots of fantastic information, and is essentially a curation of articles and straight facts about Walt, the movies, and parks. Not much of story, and is read more like someone wrote a long editorial. The narration sounds to computerize, but isn't unbearable.

It’s an easy listen.
I have seen some reviews that said it’s just a regurgitation of other information. However, if you’re like me, you haven’t heard this other information. So it was great! Some info I had heard before, some of it was brand new. Every Disney fan should listen to this for new information or just as a fun review. 😎👍

Nothing New
The book is just okay. Nothing new here. In fact the title is deceiving; it’s only partially about Walt, and nothing about the mouse. It’s content is good, but the writing is at times juvenile and occasionally self-indulgent. It’s a solid “meh.”

Fun Facts, Interesting Structure
Although this book contains interesting fact and details parts can be hard to follow. It follows the time line but will suddenly jump back in time to explaine how we got to this point then continue with no real pause. Going from 1992 to 1983 back to 92 to jump to 95 back to 87 can be a difficult when listening.

Fascinating look at the history of Disney
Great book about the complete history of Disney! The beginning is a little slow with too much emphasis on the technical side of animation, but then it picks up. I learned a lot, like the fact that there once were plans to build an America themed park near D.C.
The narrator is wonderful. Her voice is so soothing. It reminded me of the narrator on the Disney buses.

It was good enough to pass the time on a long driv
I got this book to listen to while we were driving 8 hours each way to visit family - and for that use it was perfectly adequate.
Overall, this book is simply a collection of very short selections from various news and historic sources about events, movies, and other things that were significant (mostly) in Disney history. It's coverage is very scatter-shot and not in depth at all. There were actually a few things I didn't know before but not very many. It was good for driving because it didn't require much attention and if I missed something, it didn't affect my ability to follow things later on.
The narrator was mostly okay and had a pleasant-enough voice. There were a few odd pronunciations, but nothing terrible. There was one point where she flubbed a line and restarted and the editor failed to cut that out. I know it's not the reader's fault but it still seems to be a sign of imperfect workmanship.
In conclusion, I'd probably not recommend this book for most people. There are better books on the history of the Disney company and better biographies of Walt Disney and many of the other creators of Disney magic. If you can't find anything better to listen to, though, it's not terrible, just not terribly good.

It's basically a direct read from Wikipedia
The beginning of the book starts out as basically telling you it's not going to go over how Disney was created. Instead, it is almost a straight up read up many Wikipedia articles in a chronological order based on various hand picked things the author wants to read.
It's incredibly dry and boring. Do yourself a favor, save the money and just have your phone read the various Wiki articles about Disney because it's not much different.
