LIFE IN THE MOUSE HOUSE Memoir Of A Disney Story Artist

From 1935-1950, story artist Homer Brightman worked on the biggest Disney projects: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, the Oscar-winning short film Lend a Paw, and many others. A dream come true? Not really. According to Brightman, his  experience in the Mouse House during Disney's Golden Age of Animation was tarnished by what he called, self-serving, power-hungry animators; by draconian policies and broken promises; and by Walt Disney himself. In Life in the Mouse House, you'll read about Brightman's penniless start at the Disney Studio on a cold day in 1935, what really caused the Disney Studio Strike in 1941, how Walt lost his cool, and the sad aftermath, the foibles and eccentricities of many well-known Disney artists, animators, and executives, Walt's ill-fated "Field Day", his trip to Mexico, and his uncanny talent for physical storytelling, what Brightman did after he left Disney in 1950, despite Walt telling him he'd never work in the business again, and much more!
