You ever take a break?

161
00:08:55,815 --> 00:08:58,067
Do you ever stop talking?

162
00:08:59,986 --> 00:09:01,654
Walt.

163
00:09:04,782 --> 00:09:07,118
Ubbe... now get back to work.

164
00:09:07,202 --> 00:09:09,078
<i>WALT (V.O.) In the six weeks
that I worked there...</i>

165
00:09:09,162 --> 00:09:11,623
<i>I learned tricks
of the commercial trade.</i>

166
00:09:11,706 --> 00:09:14,626
<i>Until Pesman lost
a large tractor account,</i>

167
00:09:14,709 --> 00:09:17,587
<i>which required him
to let me go.</i>

168
00:09:17,670 --> 00:09:19,714
At least if I was in a theater

169
00:09:19,797 --> 00:09:22,550
I would expect it to end
when the show was done.

170
00:09:22,634 --> 00:09:25,553
I'm sorry you lost
your job with Pesman.

171
00:09:25,637 --> 00:09:27,514
You'll find something.

172
00:09:27,597 --> 00:09:29,057
You can become an actor.

173
00:09:29,140 --> 00:09:31,392
I'll be fine.
The question is...

174
00:09:31,476 --> 00:09:33,436
will you be okay?

175
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,189
He's going to be just fine.

176
00:09:39,442 --> 00:09:41,819
Edna, no, don't start
with that, okay?

177
00:09:41,903 --> 00:09:44,489
We've been over this,
I will be fine.

178
00:09:44,572 --> 00:09:47,075
The Navy has the best
TB treatments in the country,

179
00:09:47,158 --> 00:09:48,451
you know that.

180
00:09:48,535 --> 00:09:50,411
I'll miss you.

181
00:10:03,758 --> 00:10:05,552
After I settle in,
you'll come out and see me.

182
00:10:05,635 --> 00:10:06,719
It'll be sooner than you think.

183
00:10:06,803 --> 00:10:09,264
I just-- I don't understand
why you have to go alone.

184
00:10:09,347 --> 00:10:10,348
It doesn't make any sense.

185
00:10:10,431 --> 00:10:12,183
What happens
if you get sick on the train?

186
00:10:12,267 --> 00:10:13,977
You're being silly, honey.

187
00:10:14,060 --> 00:10:16,729
Look, where will we stay,
in the hospital?

188
00:10:16,813 --> 00:10:20,692
He's a tough cookie...
don't worry.

189
00:10:20,775 --> 00:10:23,528
Everyone stop bothering me,
I'm going to miss my train.

190
00:10:32,328 --> 00:10:33,663
Take care of her, okay?

191
00:10:33,746 --> 00:10:35,623
You know I will.

192
00:10:47,093 --> 00:10:49,429
I can't believe
they let you go, too.

193
00:10:49,512 --> 00:10:53,391
The other guys have wives
and such. I live with my mom.

194
00:10:53,474 --> 00:10:55,018
But that's no reason.

195
00:10:55,101 --> 00:10:57,770
It should be about
the quality of the work.

196
00:10:57,854 --> 00:10:59,647
Why is it that people
who run things

197
00:10:59,731 --> 00:11:01,357
always lack vision?

198
00:11:01,941 --> 00:11:04,360
I don't think it have anything
to do with vision.

199
00:11:04,444 --> 00:11:06,154
They just didn't have
the money to pay me.

200
00:11:07,739 --> 00:11:10,074
Times are tough,
that's for sure.

201
00:11:10,158 --> 00:11:12,827
I've been looking
for work for months.

202
00:11:12,911 --> 00:11:16,331
Back to delivering newspapers
just to make ends meet.

203
00:11:19,375 --> 00:11:22,587
Well, ever since
my dad left my mom,

204
00:11:22,670 --> 00:11:25,131
it's pretty much up to me.

205
00:11:25,215 --> 00:11:28,134
<i>( SOFT MUSIC PLAYING )</i>

206
00:11:30,136 --> 00:11:31,930
What?

207
00:11:32,013 --> 00:11:34,140
We've got too much talent,
Ubbe.

208
00:11:36,434 --> 00:11:41,397
I've been thinking, you and I
could make a pretty good team.

209
00:11:43,316 --> 00:11:44,817
What are you saying?

210
00:11:44,901 --> 00:11:46,736
Have you ever thought
of having your own studio?

211
00:11:46,819 --> 00:11:48,905
No... I'm just an artist.

212
00:11:48,988 --> 00:11:52,408
You're more than that,
but so am I.

213
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:55,495
I don't know anything
about business.

214
00:11:55,578 --> 00:11:59,791
Well, neither do I,
but we could learn.

215
00:12:03,795 --> 00:12:05,964
Disney Iwerks.

216
00:12:06,047 --> 00:12:08,842
Sounds like an optimist.

217
00:12:08,925 --> 00:12:11,010
Hah... optometrist.

218
00:12:11,094 --> 00:12:13,388
Right.

Iwerks Disney?

220
00:12:15,390 --> 00:12:17,475
That's not much better.

221
00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,769
It's perfect.

222
00:12:22,939 --> 00:12:25,692
Where are you going?

223
00:12:25,775 --> 00:12:28,278
We got a company to start.

224
00:12:29,821 --> 00:12:32,699
Well... what do you think?

225
00:12:34,826 --> 00:12:36,703
It's a barn.

226
00:12:36,786 --> 00:12:39,497
It's our company headquarters.

227
00:12:39,581 --> 00:12:41,583
[UBBE]
But it's a barn.

228
00:12:41,666 --> 00:12:43,459
I have been developing
the latest technique

229
00:12:43,543 --> 00:12:44,878
in animation.

230
00:12:44,961 --> 00:12:46,379
Forget about
that cut-out method

231
00:12:46,462 --> 00:12:47,839
we were using at Pesman's.

232
00:12:47,922 --> 00:12:50,175
We are going to create things

233
00:12:50,258 --> 00:12:52,802
the way that
the theatrical cartoonists do.

234
00:12:52,886 --> 00:12:57,182
And you can draw
fast enough for us to do it.

Hi.

He's coming aboard

Pesman fire you, too?

No, this is just
my after-hours endeavor.

This is my brother Hugh.

00:13:39,599 --> 00:13:41,768
Hi.
He's a first-rate animator.

252
00:13:41,851 --> 00:13:43,811
Welcome to our corporate
headquarters.

253
00:13:43,895 --> 00:13:47,565
Fred's told me a lot about you.
Interesting, uh, haircut.

254
00:13:47,649 --> 00:13:49,692
Yeah, thanks.

255
00:13:51,945 --> 00:13:54,197
Quite a palace you've got here.

256
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:56,741
I told you, Fred,
it's just a start.

257
00:13:56,824 --> 00:13:58,743
It's only the beginning.

258
00:13:58,826 --> 00:14:01,955
Nowhere to go but up.

259
00:14:02,038 --> 00:14:05,375
Let me show you
what we're working on.

260
00:14:05,458 --> 00:14:06,793
I've already created

261
00:14:06,876 --> 00:14:08,461
several animations
based upon local happenings.

262
00:14:08,545 --> 00:14:10,839
How so?

263
00:14:10,922 --> 00:14:12,632
Pesman always had us
drawing about news stories,

264
00:14:12,715 --> 00:14:13,842
because that's what sold.

265
00:14:13,925 --> 00:14:15,593
Right.

266
00:14:15,677 --> 00:14:19,138
So I've created animations
based upon the same happenings.

267
00:14:19,222 --> 00:14:22,058
Take a serious story
and make people laugh.

268
00:14:22,141 --> 00:14:25,895
See, I read the paper,
and I take the headline...

269
00:14:25,979 --> 00:14:28,815
and make that into
an animation.

270
00:14:32,235 --> 00:14:35,446
Pot holes, a serious problem
in Kansas City.

271
00:14:35,530 --> 00:14:37,073
Perfect, let's do that next.

272
00:14:37,156 --> 00:14:38,575
Pot holes?

273
00:14:38,658 --> 00:14:40,535
Says right here in the
Kansas City Telegram.

274
00:14:40,618 --> 00:14:43,621
So, we're going to tell people
news they already know.

275
00:14:43,705 --> 00:14:46,332
I guess that's why
they call it a tell-egram.

276
00:14:46,416 --> 00:14:48,126
We're not going to
tell them anything,

277
00:14:48,209 --> 00:14:49,669
we're making people laugh.

278
00:14:49,752 --> 00:14:51,462
A Laugh-o-Gram...

279
00:14:51,546 --> 00:14:52,881
Laugh-o-Gram?

280
00:14:55,008 --> 00:14:59,429
That's it. Ubbe,
you're great with lettering.

281
00:14:59,512 --> 00:15:01,431
Can you create
a title card that says,

282
00:15:01,514 --> 00:15:02,765
"Newman Laugh-o-Grams"?

283
00:15:02,849 --> 00:15:05,310
So these are going to be shown
in Newman's theater?

284
00:15:05,393 --> 00:15:07,228
Is he asking to buy
a Laugh-o-Gram?

285
00:15:07,312 --> 00:15:09,898
No... but he will.

286
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:21,868
Mr. Newman...

287
00:15:21,951 --> 00:15:23,828
What can I do for you?

288
00:15:23,912 --> 00:15:24,913
I have an animation here

289
00:15:24,996 --> 00:15:26,289
that might be of interest
to your theater.

290
00:15:26,372 --> 00:15:29,250
A sort of bonus reel
on local Kansas City issues.

291
00:15:29,334 --> 00:15:31,920
The pot holes, for instance.

292
00:15:32,003 --> 00:15:33,796
Aren't you too young
to make Felix the Cat?

293
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,215
That's not mine, sir.

294
00:15:35,381 --> 00:15:36,716
That's too bad,
because he's the biggest star

295
00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:38,801
in Hollywood and that's
what my theater shows.

296
00:15:38,968 --> 00:15:40,428
Well, I have
something much better.

297
00:15:40,512 --> 00:15:42,222
Sure, you do.

298
00:15:42,305 --> 00:15:45,016
All my animations are assured
to please all audiences.

299
00:15:45,099 --> 00:15:48,311
All I'm asking is that you take
a look at my team's work.

300
00:16:02,325 --> 00:16:03,368

Are they expensive?

301
00:16:03,451 --> 00:16:06,329
No, sir, 30 cents a foot.

302
00:16:06,412 --> 00:16:08,581
Okay, then, it's a deal.

303

00:51:05,970 --> 00:51:08,598
I know our address.

796
00:51:08,681 --> 00:51:11,059
Right.

797
00:51:11,142 --> 00:51:12,810
Okay... go.

798
00:51:12,894 --> 00:51:14,229
Okay.

799
00:51:14,312 --> 00:51:16,981
Dear Miss Winkler...

800
00:51:17,065 --> 00:51:19,359
This is to inform you

801
00:51:19,442 --> 00:51:22,987
that I am no longer
with Laugh-O-Gram Films.

802
00:51:23,071 --> 00:51:25,990
I'm starting a studio
in Los Angeles...

803
00:51:26,074 --> 00:51:32,205
for the purpose of producing
a novel series of animations...

804
00:51:32,288 --> 00:51:35,917
that I have previously
written you about.

805
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,670
In the past, all animations
combining live actors

806
00:51:38,753 --> 00:51:41,089
have been produced
in an amateur manner...

807
00:51:41,172 --> 00:51:44,092
with animators doing
the acting, photographing, etc.

808
00:51:44,175 --> 00:51:45,802
It is my intention to employ

809
00:51:45,885 --> 00:51:47,262
only trained
and experienced people.

810
00:51:47,345 --> 00:51:49,430
Good.

811
00:51:49,514 --> 00:51:50,932
The first picture
of this new idea,

812
00:51:51,015 --> 00:51:52,100
which I have just completed...

813
00:51:52,183 --> 00:51:54,227
was made in Kansas City
under big difficulties.

814
00:51:54,310 --> 00:51:55,728
I would appreciate an interview

815
00:51:55,812 --> 00:51:57,188
with your
representative here...

816
00:51:57,272 --> 00:51:59,566
that I may screen
several comedies

817
00:51:59,649 --> 00:52:01,943
and explain my
new idea. Sincerely--

818
00:52:02,026 --> 00:52:04,362
What on earth is going on here?

819
00:52:04,445 --> 00:52:06,739
Oh, well,
Walt is just writing a letter

820
00:52:06,823 --> 00:52:08,533
to a very prestigious
animation studio...

821
00:52:08,616 --> 00:52:10,577
in New York asking
for an interview.

822
00:52:10,660 --> 00:52:13,663
Animation? Hm.

823
00:52:13,746 --> 00:52:16,207
Walt, why do you
keep playing around

824
00:52:16,291 --> 00:52:18,126
with this fairytale?

825
00:52:18,209 --> 00:52:19,752
[CHARLOTTE]
Robert!

826
00:52:19,836 --> 00:52:21,713
Why don't you go out
and get yourself a real job?

827
00:52:21,796 --> 00:52:23,423
Please, Robert!

828
00:52:23,506 --> 00:52:27,886
Well, it's just foolishness,
Charlotte, for God sakes.

829
00:52:32,140 --> 00:52:35,518
Don't let him
discourage you, Walt.

830
00:52:35,602 --> 00:52:38,396
Here, I think
the letter is finished.

831
00:52:38,479 --> 00:52:40,148
Thank you.

832
00:52:40,231 --> 00:52:41,524
Let me go tend to Robert.

833
00:52:41,608 --> 00:52:43,610
Oh, one more thing, um...

834
00:52:43,693 --> 00:52:46,070
since you don't park your car
in the garage...

835
00:52:46,154 --> 00:52:48,615
do you mind if I use it?

836
00:52:48,698 --> 00:52:51,034
<i>WALT (V.O.) I had a dream</i>

837
00:52:51,117 --> 00:52:54,954
<i>and I was determined
to make my dream come true.</i>

838
00:52:55,038 --> 00:52:57,165
<i>Similar to my father,
Uncle Robert</i>

839
00:52:57,248 --> 00:53:00,376
<i>never thought I could
make a living drawing pictures.</i>

840
00:53:00,460 --> 00:53:03,046
<i>Despite his constant
disapproval...</i>

841
00:53:03,129 --> 00:53:07,800
<i>Aunt Charlotte convinced him
to loan me $500.</i>

842
00:53:07,884 --> 00:53:11,804
<i>I purchased an old dilapidated
Pathe camera for $200...</i>

843
00:53:11,888 --> 00:53:15,683

( CLAPPING )
Why are you clapping?

845
00:53:41,709 --> 00:53:43,378
I'm sorry Mrs. Winkler,

846
00:53:43,461 --> 00:53:46,381
but that's the most beautiful
thing I've ever seen.

847
00:53:46,464 --> 00:53:49,634
I've never seen anything
like that before.

848
00:53:49,717 --> 00:53:53,388
Then why did you stop clapping?
What do you think, dear?

849
00:53:53,471 --> 00:53:57,141
Well, it's no Felix the Cat,
but it's-- it's wonderful.

850
00:53:57,225 --> 00:53:59,394
Who made it?

851
00:53:59,477 --> 00:54:01,396
Walt Disney... a young chap

852
00:54:01,479 --> 00:54:04,440
from Kansas City,
who just moved to California.

853
00:54:04,524 --> 00:54:06,276
I just sent him a letter

854
00:54:06,359 --> 00:54:08,111
commissioning 12 more
just like that.

855
00:54:10,321 --> 00:54:12,198
[MARGARET]
Looking forward to meeting him.

856
00:54:12,282 --> 00:54:14,242
So am I.

857
00:54:38,641 --> 00:54:41,186
Oh, ah, when did this come in?

858
00:54:41,269 --> 00:54:43,646
Ah, this morning, but you
got in so late last night...

859
00:54:43,730 --> 00:54:45,106
I thought it best
not to wake you.

860
00:54:46,316 --> 00:54:48,568
<i>( MUSIC PLAYING )</i>

861
00:54:48,651 --> 00:54:50,361
Roy!

862
00:54:50,445 --> 00:54:52,280
Excuse me, sir, but it's
far too late to be visiting.

863
00:54:52,363 --> 00:54:53,531
What-- what are you doing here?

864
00:54:53,615 --> 00:54:55,366
M.J. Winkler.

865
00:54:55,450 --> 00:54:56,451
Who-- what? I, uh--

866
00:54:56,534 --> 00:54:57,827
Felix the Cat,
Out of the Inkwell?

867
00:54:57,911 --> 00:54:59,871
Nurse, can I just talk with my
brother for one minute, please?

868
00:54:59,954 --> 00:55:03,333
All right, you two, but please
make it a quick minute.

869
00:55:03,416 --> 00:55:07,212
I have a contract to do Alice
comedies for M.J. Winkler.

870
00:55:07,295 --> 00:55:09,464
Well, congratulations.

871
00:55:09,547 --> 00:55:12,175
I finally figured out what I
was doing wrong in Kansas City.

872
00:55:12,258 --> 00:55:13,551
I'm crazy about animation,

873
00:55:13,635 --> 00:55:15,929
but I spent so much time
doing the business...

874
00:55:16,012 --> 00:55:18,890
that it cut part of the
creative side out of me.

875
00:55:18,973 --> 00:55:23,269
I can't do it by myself. I need
someone that I can trust.

876
00:55:23,353 --> 00:55:26,231
I need someone who
knows finance.

877
00:55:26,314 --> 00:55:28,942
Oh, no, no, Walt, no.

878
00:55:29,025 --> 00:55:32,570
No, absolutely not, I--
I'm not well enough. I--

879
00:55:32,654 --> 00:55:35,406
And you never will get well
if you're stuck in here.

880
00:55:35,490 --> 00:55:38,243
What, are you a doctor now?

881
00:55:38,326 --> 00:55:39,786
Think about it, Roy,

882
00:55:39,869 --> 00:55:41,788
you're here
around sick people every day.

883
00:55:41,871 --> 00:55:44,374
And you have nothing to do
but think about being sick.

884
00:55:44,499 --> 00:55:46,292
What if--
what if you were busy?

885
00:55:46,376 --> 00:55:49,295
Come on, you could be
with family, making money.

886
00:55:49,379 --> 00:55:52,674
I'd say it's worth a shot.

887
00:55:52,757 --> 00:55:54,050
You should have gone
into sales, kid.

888
00:55:54,133 --> 00:55:55,134
You're a natural.

889
00:55:55,218 --> 00:55:56,386
So, you'll do it?

890
00:55:59,597 --> 00:56:01,808
On one condition.

891
00:56:01,891 --> 00:56:03,726
What's that?

892
00:56:03,810 --> 00:56:06,646
You need to be straight
with me on everything.

893
00:56:06,729 --> 00:56:08,273
I need to know
what's going on,

894
00:56:08,356 --> 00:56:10,316
no matter how small
you might think it is.

895
00:56:10,400 --> 00:56:11,442
It's a deal.

896
00:56:11,526 --> 00:56:13,152
I'm not finished.

897
00:56:13,236 --> 00:56:15,864
I won't ask you to hire Edna...

898
00:56:15,947 --> 00:56:20,034
but I need you to steer clear
of any office romance.

899
00:56:20,118 --> 00:56:22,036
I've already decided

900
00:56:22,120 --> 00:56:25,039
that I won't marry
until I've saved $25,000.

901
00:56:28,543 --> 00:56:30,795
Now get out of here before
someone puts you in quarantine.

902
00:56:30,879 --> 00:56:33,089
You know, some of these guys
are contagious.

903
00:56:33,173 --> 00:56:34,632
I'll get the whole team
back together.

904
00:56:34,716 --> 00:56:36,009
Ubbe, Rudy, everyone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

905
00:56:36,092 --> 00:56:38,011
Mr. Disney, your brother
will need his rest now.

906
00:56:38,094 --> 00:56:39,387
Yeah, I'll see you soon, Roy.

907
00:56:51,357 --> 00:56:52,817
Good to see you, my friend.

908
00:56:52,901 --> 00:56:56,613
Good to see you, still smoking
those cheap cigarettes?

909
00:56:56,696 --> 00:56:58,448
We have a lot to catch up on.

910
00:56:58,531 --> 00:56:59,699
I bet.

911
00:57:04,037 --> 00:57:07,874
Look at the size of this room.
Look how large it is.

912
00:57:07,957 --> 00:57:10,376
Tall ceilings,
lots of space for desks...

913
00:57:10,460 --> 00:57:12,253
perfect for your workshop.

914
00:57:12,337 --> 00:57:15,298
There's certainly enough space
to swing a cat in.

915
00:57:15,381 --> 00:57:16,633
And it's only $5 a month,

916
00:57:16,716 --> 00:57:18,843
and we'll throw the desk
in on top of that.

917
00:57:18,927 --> 00:57:20,595
Sounds great.

918
00:57:20,678 --> 00:57:23,014
You think about it, we'll walk
outside and you let us know.

919
00:57:23,097 --> 00:57:24,098
Okay.
Thank you.

920
00:57:24,182 --> 00:57:26,476
Thank you.
Thanks.

921
00:57:36,236 --> 00:57:39,822
Yeah, I think this will work.
Get the equipment in here.

922
00:57:39,906 --> 00:57:44,327
And ah, oh, ah, I forgot to let
you know that Rudy and Hugh...

923
00:57:44,410 --> 00:57:45,870
said yes, so they're going
to be coming out.

924
00:57:45,954 --> 00:57:47,956
And Fred?

925
00:57:48,039 --> 00:57:49,040
Well, you know,

926
00:57:49,165 --> 00:57:50,792
you invite one guy
and you invite them all, right?

927
00:57:50,875 --> 00:57:52,669
Unless they're
still angry with me.

928
00:57:52,752 --> 00:57:53,795
Probably.

929
00:57:53,878 --> 00:57:55,088
Well, we'll see what happens.

930
00:57:55,171 --> 00:57:56,881
But, even if
everybody says yes...

931
00:57:56,965 --> 00:57:58,508
we're still going to need
more animators.

932
00:57:58,591 --> 00:58:00,927
[ROY] Just remember
we have a budget, Walt.

933
00:58:01,010 --> 00:58:02,178
Any new animators
you take on

934
00:58:02,262 --> 00:58:04,222
will have to work for less
than the normal wage.

935
00:58:04,305 --> 00:58:06,558
Who's going to do that?

936
00:58:06,641 --> 00:58:07,976
Women.

937
00:58:08,059 --> 00:58:09,894
Roy Disney.

938
00:58:09,978 --> 00:58:11,312
Edna, it's true.

939
00:58:11,396 --> 00:58:13,982
You just got the right to vote,
women need jobs.

940
00:58:14,065 --> 00:58:17,527
He's right, Edna, women
are detail oriented...

941
00:58:17,610 --> 00:58:19,279
they can ink and paint.

942
00:58:19,362 --> 00:58:20,822
Women are the ones
that go to the shows...

943
00:58:20,905 --> 00:58:25,076
so if they like it,
then the men will go, too.

944
00:58:25,159 --> 00:58:27,912
Well, you can rest assured,
I won't be working here.

945
00:58:27,996 --> 00:58:29,455
We've already
discussed that, honey.

946
00:58:29,539 --> 00:58:31,875
But I will be here often.

947
00:58:31,958 --> 00:58:33,376
So now what, Dis?

948
00:58:33,459 --> 00:58:37,297
Dis? What am I, Dis #2?
I mean, I think I--

949
00:58:37,380 --> 00:58:39,257
I am the ultimate Dis.

950
00:58:39,340 --> 00:58:42,594
Roy! He is still recovering!

951
00:58:42,677 --> 00:58:45,722
I can take this
rapscallion any day.

952
00:58:48,391 --> 00:58:51,519
Well, now that Ubbe is here,
my drawing days are over.

953
00:58:51,603 --> 00:58:52,979
I think I'm going to focus
on writing,

954
00:58:53,062 --> 00:58:54,063
directing and producing.

955
00:58:54,147 --> 00:58:56,441
Are you sure, kid?

956
00:58:56,524 --> 00:58:57,525
Well, Ubbe's the talented one,

957
00:58:57,609 --> 00:58:58,902
he's a better animator
than I am...

958
00:58:58,985 --> 00:59:01,362
and one of the most
loyal guys I know.

959
00:59:01,446 --> 00:59:02,655
Thanks, Dis.

960
00:59:02,739 --> 00:59:05,867
All right! Let's go find
us an Alice.

962
00:59:10,246 --> 00:59:13,291
Okay, let's get started.

963
00:59:13,374 --> 00:59:17,629
Hi, I'm Walt.
Now, who is up first?

964
00:59:17,712 --> 00:59:18,963
Go on, get up there.
Get up there.

965
00:59:19,047 --> 00:59:20,048
No!

966
00:59:20,131 --> 00:59:21,382
She's just a little shy,
that's all.

967
00:59:21,466 --> 00:59:23,718
And what is your name?

968
00:59:23,801 --> 00:59:25,762
William.

969
00:59:25,845 --> 00:59:29,182
Thank you, next.

970
00:59:29,265 --> 00:59:33,394
Ah, I told you to use
your girl's voice. Come on.

971
00:59:33,478 --> 00:59:36,022
Hi, my name is Tina,
I'm so excited to be here.

972
00:59:36,105 --> 00:59:37,649
I prepared
a little dance for you.

973
00:59:47,825 --> 00:59:49,953
Ah, we'll let you know.

974
00:59:50,036 --> 00:59:52,205
Ah, excuse me,

975
00:59:52,288 --> 00:59:56,459
aren't you a little too tall
to be playing Alice?

976
00:59:59,546 --> 01:00:02,549
I think I have a better idea.

977
01:00:02,632 --> 01:00:04,634
I need my original Alice.

978
01:00:04,717 --> 01:00:07,053
Yeah, bring that flat.
Where to?

979
01:00:07,136 --> 01:00:09,514
Make a little set. Yeah.

980
01:00:09,597 --> 01:00:13,893
Yeah, we can set some things
over there.

981
01:00:13,977 --> 01:00:15,478
All right, Virginia,
are you ready?

982
01:00:15,562 --> 01:00:19,065
Okay, great, now look over
at Hugh, all right...

983
01:00:19,148 --> 01:00:22,402
now you see something very,
very far away behind him.

984
01:00:22,485 --> 01:00:25,154
You're not sure what it is,
but it makes you smile.

985
01:00:25,238 --> 01:00:27,615
Now wave "hi" to it.

986
01:00:27,699 --> 01:00:28,700
All right, now you see

987
01:00:28,783 --> 01:00:31,911
that it's a very,
very big bear.

988
01:00:31,995 --> 01:00:33,955
All right, now duck down.

989
01:00:34,038 --> 01:00:36,833
Okay now-- now right behind you
in the barrel,

990
01:00:36,916 --> 01:00:38,501
a bunny rabbit pops out.

991
01:00:38,585 --> 01:00:41,754
Yeah, that's right,
you can pet it. Yeah, good.

992
01:00:41,838 --> 01:00:43,756
Okay, now you turn back
to that bear and you say...

993
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:46,259
"No, no, no, you can't
come over here."

994
01:00:46,342 --> 01:00:49,220
Now jump up and down
like you mean it.

995
01:00:49,304 --> 01:00:50,430
Great, that's a cut.

996
01:00:53,516 --> 01:00:55,185
Ladies, can we help you?

997
01:00:55,268 --> 01:00:57,896
I'm here about the job,
to help with ink and paint.

998
01:00:57,979 --> 01:01:00,064
Oh yes, yes, come in.
All right.

[WALT]
What is your name?

1000
01:01:02,108 --> 01:01:06,446
Lillian Bounds... here,
it says so on my resume.

1001

Oh.

What are you doing?

1003
01:01:11,910 --> 01:01:13,870
I'm getting a chair
for Miss Bounds.

1004
01:01:17,332 --> 01:01:19,667
This is an interview,
not a date.

1005
01:01:24,464 --> 01:01:26,799
Ah, and your name, Miss?

1006
01:01:26,883 --> 01:01:28,551
Oh, ah, Bridgit, but
I'm not here to interview...

1007
01:01:28,635 --> 01:01:30,053
I'm just accompanying
Miss Bounds.

1008
01:01:30,136 --> 01:01:34,307
Oh, I see. Ah, have you
ever worked before?

1009
01:01:34,390 --> 01:01:38,311
Sir, I know where
you're going with this.

1010
01:01:38,394 --> 01:01:42,982
I am willing to do whatever it
takes, I am a dedicated person.

1011
01:01:43,066 --> 01:01:47,445
In Idaho, I learned that there
is no substitute for hard work.

1012
01:01:47,529 --> 01:01:50,156
Idaho has great potatoes.

1013
01:01:51,908 --> 01:01:53,535
Wonderful.

1014
01:01:53,618 --> 01:01:56,955
Well, it's $10 a week,
so you can start tomorrow.

1015
01:01:57,038 --> 01:01:59,290
I can't work for less than $12.

1016
01:01:59,374 --> 01:02:01,084
Well, then $12 it is.

1017
01:02:05,129 --> 01:02:08,800
What about you, Miss Bridgit,
we could use an extra hand.

1018
01:02:08,883 --> 01:02:10,760
Oh, I don't know.

1019
01:02:13,179 --> 01:02:14,722
She'd love a job.

1020
01:02:14,806 --> 01:02:15,807
Wonderful.

1021
01:02:15,890 --> 01:02:17,016
Congratulations,
welcome to the team.

1022
01:02:17,100 --> 01:02:18,101
Thank you.

1023
01:02:18,518 --> 01:02:20,353
Okay, let's rehearse this
one more time.

1024
01:02:20,436 --> 01:02:21,813
So you're out of tea

1025
01:02:21,896 --> 01:02:23,773
and you're looking out
into the distance...

1026
01:02:23,857 --> 01:02:25,900
and then you see land
and you point...

1027
01:02:25,984 --> 01:02:28,778
and then a bunch of fish jump
onto the boat all around you.

1028
01:02:28,862 --> 01:02:31,197
Okay?
Okay.

1029
01:02:31,281 --> 01:02:33,616
All right. Okay, so we have
just enough film in the camera

1030
01:02:33,700 --> 01:02:34,701
for one more take.

1031
01:02:34,784 --> 01:02:37,787
So... no pressure.

1032
01:02:37,871 --> 01:02:41,583
Okay, let's see the ocean move.
Go ahead and roll it, Fred.

1033
01:02:41,666 --> 01:02:44,252
And action.

We were very pleased.

1036
01:03:03,188 --> 01:03:04,189
[MINTZ]
Mostly.

1037
01:03:04,272 --> 01:03:06,357
With the increasing quality
of the Alice series.

1038
01:03:06,441 --> 01:03:08,693
Of course, much work
remains to be done.

1039
01:03:08,776 --> 01:03:11,446
Much, very much.

1040
01:03:11,529 --> 01:03:13,740
Well, the problem still remains

1041
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:17,160
that we're spending
as much as we make.

1042
01:03:17,243 --> 01:03:20,038
More tea, dear?

1043
01:03:20,121 --> 01:03:23,249
[MARGARET]
Yes, I'd love some.

1044
01:03:23,333 --> 01:03:26,419
I find tea relaxes the mind.

1045
01:03:26,503 --> 01:03:30,173
It's very useful in discussing
business, don't you think?

1046
01:03:32,634 --> 01:03:33,927
Problem is--

1047
01:03:34,010 --> 01:03:36,471
The problem is
we pay you up front...

1048
01:03:36,554 --> 01:03:41,351
that we don't realize a profit
for at least six months.

1049
01:03:41,434 --> 01:03:45,063
But whatever that profit is,
you keep it.

1050
01:03:45,146 --> 01:03:49,067
Press has been good,
there are other distributors.

1051
01:03:49,150 --> 01:03:52,570
Yeah, let's not yell
fire just yet.

Actually,
when we took on Alice...

1053
01:03:55,615 --> 01:03:59,160
I was forced
to put in a copyright.

1054
01:03:59,244 --> 01:04:00,787
How do you--

1055
01:04:00,870 --> 01:04:03,540
We pay you for the originals,
it's a sale.

1056
01:04:03,623 --> 01:04:05,625
We own the originals.

1057
01:04:05,708 --> 01:04:07,585
We make the prints
and the negatives,

1058
01:04:07,669 --> 01:04:09,087
and lease them.

1059
01:04:09,170 --> 01:04:12,048
The copyright protects us,
not you.

1060
01:04:13,967 --> 01:04:15,468
Excuse me.

1061
01:04:21,474 --> 01:04:25,061
Walt takes great pride
in his work.

1062
01:04:25,144 --> 01:04:26,521
He spends every waking minute

1063
01:04:26,604 --> 01:04:28,439
thinking of ways
to make it better.

1064
01:04:28,523 --> 01:04:31,901
I don't suppose it could have
ever occurred to him

1065
01:04:31,985 --> 01:04:34,028
that someone else
could own that?

1066
01:04:37,949 --> 01:04:41,077
If you don't mind,
I'll go join my brother.

1067
01:04:44,622 --> 01:04:47,458
It's better when
they're emotional.

we have endeavored
to do nothing but gags.

1074
01:05:03,474 --> 01:05:05,435
The story is one gag
after another...

and you will notice that
the quality of the picture--

Walt, can you slow down.

1077
01:05:09,189 --> 01:05:10,982
I can't slow down.

But I don't have it all yet.

1079

Okay, well what do you
have so far?

Dear Mr. Mintz, you have no
doubt-- something about gags?

No, Bridgit's my friend.

01:07:05,555 --> 01:07:11,603
You're such a hard worker,
you never take a break.

1110
01:07:11,686 --> 01:07:14,022
You learned in Idaho

1111
01:07:14,105 --> 01:07:17,192
that there's no substitute
for hard work.

1112
01:07:17,275 --> 01:07:19,777
I learned that from my father.

1113
01:07:19,861 --> 01:07:22,155
He sounds like a wise man.

1114
01:07:22,238 --> 01:07:26,034
Well, he does know
the value of hard work.

1115
01:07:26,117 --> 01:07:28,411
Right before I was born,
he worked as a carpenter...

1116
01:07:28,494 --> 01:07:32,916
on the World's Fair buildings
for a dollar a day.

1117
01:07:32,999 --> 01:07:34,667
Somehow out of that,

1118
01:07:34,751 --> 01:07:38,213
he and my mother saved enough
to go into business together.

1119
01:07:38,296 --> 01:07:40,882
I don't know how they did it,

1120
01:07:40,965 --> 01:07:44,302
but eventually he moved
to Chicago as a contractor...

1121
01:07:44,385 --> 01:07:46,804
so my mother
would draw up the plans

1122
01:07:46,888 --> 01:07:48,973
and my father
would build the houses.

1123
01:07:49,057 --> 01:07:52,685
They were a real team.

1124
01:07:52,769 --> 01:07:57,106
My father always wanted
to get back to the farm...

1125
01:07:57,190 --> 01:07:59,984
so he took what he had made

1126
01:08:00,068 --> 01:08:02,487
and bought a farm
in Marceline...

1127
01:08:02,570 --> 01:08:06,658
48 acres,
beautiful orchard there.

1128
01:08:06,741 --> 01:08:13,456
Huh, then my father got sick
and we were forced to sell it.

1129
01:08:13,540 --> 01:08:16,668
But he never gave up.

1130
01:08:16,751 --> 01:08:18,169
He sold that farm

1131
01:08:18,253 --> 01:08:21,005
and he took the money
and we moved to Kansas.

1132
01:08:21,089 --> 01:08:25,260
Ever since then...

1133
01:08:25,343 --> 01:08:28,513
I've been trying to chase
after my dreams...

1134
01:08:28,596 --> 01:08:32,225
despite
my father's disapproval.

1135
01:08:32,308 --> 01:08:37,730
You sound a lot like him.
I'd love to meet him.

01:15:40,862 --> 01:15:42,739
I am sorry.

1267
01:15:58,588 --> 01:16:03,801
Might be better if you,
ah, just stand.

1268
01:16:03,885 --> 01:16:07,180
Yeah, we don't have--
we're short on chairs.

1269
01:16:09,057 --> 01:16:11,142
Okay, come down the stairs.

1270
01:16:11,226 --> 01:16:13,102
You're going to meet
your mother,

1271
01:16:13,186 --> 01:16:15,313
she's going to take you
to the circus.

1272
01:16:18,775 --> 01:16:20,902
George chose her?

1273
01:16:20,985 --> 01:16:23,530
Yeah, he thinks
he knows comedy.

1274
01:16:23,613 --> 01:16:25,782
You see your mother
in the distance,

1275
01:16:25,865 --> 01:16:27,784
and you wave hello to her.

1276
01:16:27,867 --> 01:16:30,537
She is wonderful.

1277
01:16:30,620 --> 01:16:34,499
You could lighten up a little.
This is a comedy.

1278
01:16:36,709 --> 01:16:39,629
How about a smile?
Have some fun.

1279
01:16:39,712 --> 01:16:42,674
You are confusing her.

1280
01:16:45,134 --> 01:16:46,761
How about some coffee?

1281
01:16:46,845 --> 01:16:48,471
Okay, why don't you go ahead
and cut for now.

1282
01:16:48,555 --> 01:16:50,181
That's a cut for now.

1283
01:16:50,265 --> 01:16:52,642
We're going to go get you some
candy, get you some energy.

1285

It's a great choice, George.

1286
01:16:55,103 --> 01:16:59,983
It is very good. Very good.

1287
01:17:00,066 --> 01:17:03,152
I'll be sure to let, uh,
your brother-in-law know...

1288
01:17:03,236 --> 01:17:04,946
that this was--
this was your choice.

1289
01:17:07,448 --> 01:17:12,829
You did very good work
on the Alice draft.

1290
01:17:12,912 --> 01:17:15,540
Thanks, George.

1291
01:17:15,623 --> 01:17:20,879
You know, Fred,
it wouldn't surprise me...

1292
01:17:20,962 --> 01:17:24,757
if you had your
own studio one day.

1293
01:17:27,385 --> 01:17:31,014
Well, I've learned a lot
over the years.

1294
01:17:31,097 --> 01:17:33,516
It would be great
to have my own studio.

1295
01:17:35,518 --> 01:17:42,358
But... let's keep quiet
about that for now.

1296
01:17:45,153 --> 01:17:47,864
I won't tell anyone.

1297
01:17:51,701 --> 01:17:55,330
If it says Disney Brothers
when people call the studio...

1298
01:17:55,413 --> 01:17:57,290
who do they think is in charge?

1299
01:17:57,373 --> 01:17:58,500
Is that relevant?

1300
01:17:58,583 --> 01:18:00,251
The older one.

1301
01:18:00,335 --> 01:18:02,295
Ah, we've been over this,
ah, how is that possible,

1302
01:18:02,378 --> 01:18:04,380
you sign your name
on everything.

1303
01:18:04,464 --> 01:18:05,798
They have taken my work,

1304
01:18:05,882 --> 01:18:08,510
they find a way to own
everything that I produce...

1305
01:18:08,593 --> 01:18:11,387
at least let me have
my name on the studio.

1306
01:18:14,307 --> 01:18:16,142
Is it that important to you?

1307
01:18:16,226 --> 01:18:19,145
Yes... if my name
is on the studio,

1308
01:18:19,229 --> 01:18:21,773
then my name is on the film.

1309

Oswald the Rabbit.

1320
01:18:58,101 --> 01:19:00,228
Starting today,
we're the animators.

1321
01:19:01,354 --> 01:19:02,981
What about Alice?

1322
01:19:03,064 --> 01:19:07,235
We're winding down,
so we need a story for Oswald.

What about Easter?

1324
01:19:08,945 --> 01:19:11,406
It's too religious
for the first animation.

1325
01:19:11,489 --> 01:19:13,324
It will be Easter
when it comes out.

1326
01:19:13,408 --> 01:19:16,286
And so, he's going to...
sing hymns?

1327
01:19:16,369 --> 01:19:18,496
Maybe he's a nervous father?

1328
01:19:18,580 --> 01:19:24,210
Yeah. He's pacing the hallway,
stomping his feet.

you pass it along to Ubbe.

Walt, I will help Hugh
with the first drawing, yes?

1332
01:19:33,761 --> 01:19:36,806
Hugh and Ubbe
will know what to do.

1333
01:19:36,890 --> 01:19:40,518
Any questions?
Let's get to work.

1334
01:19:45,815 --> 01:19:47,859
Listen kid, I'm excited
about Oswald, too...

1335
01:19:47,942 --> 01:19:49,402
but, right now
we really need to focus...

1336
01:19:49,485 --> 01:19:50,862
on catching up
with some of our bills.

We are in the red, Walt.

1338

I mean, we're overpaying
all of our animators.

1339

We can't keep
going on like this.

1340
01:19:56,868 --> 01:19:59,037
We need to reinvest in
new animations for the company.

1341
01:19:59,120 --> 01:20:01,080
We need new characters
for Oswald.

1342
01:20:01,164 --> 01:20:03,917
No, no, no. We don't have money
for any new characters.

1343
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:07,629
But we need it,
just a few bucks.

Please.

1346
01:20:17,138 --> 01:20:20,141
Okay, I'll see what I can do,
but in the meantime...

1347
01:20:20,225 --> 01:20:21,851
don't write any more checks

1348
01:20:21,935 --> 01:20:24,479
until we actually have
money in the bank.

1349

until we get the funds.

01:26:31,971 --> 01:26:34,140
I'm not going.

1421
01:26:34,224 --> 01:26:36,267
You have to.

1422
01:26:36,351 --> 01:26:38,728
Charles can say
all he wants to in a wire,

1423
01:26:38,811 --> 01:26:40,271
but if you're there
in person...

1424
01:26:40,355 --> 01:26:42,732
I think maybe he'll back down.

1425
01:26:42,815 --> 01:26:44,442
And he'll back down
even if I'm not there.

1426
01:26:44,526 --> 01:26:48,947
He's nothing without me...
without us.

1427
01:26:49,030 --> 01:26:50,949
You wanted this, remember?

1428
01:26:51,032 --> 01:26:53,159
The marquee says Walt Disney.

1429
01:26:53,243 --> 01:26:57,121
It's your responsibility
to go and make this right.

1430
01:26:57,205 --> 01:27:01,459
Hey, hey!
You can do this, kid.

Well, I thought this could be
like a second honeymoon.

1436
01:27:29,863 --> 01:27:33,783
Yes, as long as Charlie

Mr. Mintz,
pleasure to meet you.

Oh, the pleasure is all mine.

1448
01:28:08,193 --> 01:28:09,777
Perhaps you could excuse us
for a minute, dear?

1449
01:28:09,861 --> 01:28:11,571
Certainly. I'll wait for you.

1450
01:28:13,948 --> 01:28:15,700
Please.

1451
01:28:15,783 --> 01:28:18,494
Thank you.

1452
01:28:18,578 --> 01:28:21,623
Have you had a chance
to review my offer?

1453
01:28:21,706 --> 01:28:25,210
I have, uh,
and there's still a few terms

1454
01:28:25,293 --> 01:28:27,670
that we need to go over.

1455
01:28:27,754 --> 01:28:29,547
Ah, just to insure

1456
01:28:29,631 --> 01:28:32,717
that we don't sacrifice
the quality of the animations.

1457
01:28:32,800 --> 01:28:35,303
Ah, what do you have in mind?

1458
01:28:35,386 --> 01:28:38,640
Well, for starters, we need
$2,500 per short...

1459
01:28:38,723 --> 01:28:41,559
and 50 percent
of the gross profits.

1460
01:28:41,643 --> 01:28:44,979
Walter. Walter.

1461
01:28:45,063 --> 01:28:49,317
Who are we kidding? I'm in
the business of making money.

1462
01:28:49,400 --> 01:28:53,613
Now best I can do is $1,750
and 50 percent of net profits.

1463
01:28:53,696 --> 01:28:55,365
Now, I don't want to hear
anything else.

1464
01:28:55,448 --> 01:28:58,576
I can't accept that offer.

1465
01:28:58,660 --> 01:29:02,747
Well, I am sorry, Walter, but
I split profits with Universal.

1466
01:29:02,831 --> 01:29:04,582
Look, the more
I review the numbers,

1467
01:29:04,666 --> 01:29:06,167
the less I'm inclined to spend.

1468
01:29:06,251 --> 01:29:09,879
I suggest you take this offer.

1469
01:29:09,963 --> 01:29:16,010
I really wish we could
quit fooling around.

1470
01:29:16,094 --> 01:29:18,054
Why don't you give me 24 hours?

1471
01:29:18,137 --> 01:29:22,058
24 hours and the deal
is off the table.

1472
01:29:22,141 --> 01:29:23,643
Fine.

1473
01:29:28,147 --> 01:29:31,401

against the corner.

1475
01:29:36,281 --> 01:29:38,533
I don't know what else to do.

1476
01:29:38,616 --> 01:29:41,744
I don't understand
why you need them?

1477
01:29:41,828 --> 01:29:44,497
It's not that simple.

1478
01:29:44,581 --> 01:29:47,709
Winkler Pictures is the largest
animation studio in the world.

1479
01:29:47,792 --> 01:29:49,460
They control everything.

1480
01:29:49,544 --> 01:29:52,630
If I had the money, then I
would produce the work myself.

1481
01:29:52,714 --> 01:29:54,632
Everything would be different.

1482
01:29:54,716 --> 01:29:56,843
You'll find the money.

1483
01:29:56,926 --> 01:29:59,637
I've already been
down that road.

1484
01:29:59,721 --> 01:30:01,055
Well, what then?

1485
01:30:03,391 --> 01:30:05,268
I could go directly
to the studio...

1486
01:30:05,351 --> 01:30:09,939
and make a deal with them
myself... bypass Winkler.

1487
01:30:10,023 --> 01:30:11,191
Will that work?

1488
01:30:11,274 --> 01:30:13,318
It's worth a chance.

1489
01:30:13,401 --> 01:30:16,821
I'll go in the morning
before I meet with Mintz.

1490
01:30:18,740 --> 01:30:22,577
Hey, there's no substitute
for hard work.

1491
01:30:34,339 --> 01:30:36,966
So, Walter, sit down.

1492
01:30:37,050 --> 01:30:40,011
Walter, what do I owe
this unexpected visit?

1493
01:30:40,094 --> 01:30:42,305
Well, as you know,
we've had great success

1494
01:30:42,388 --> 01:30:43,806
with the Alice comedies...

1495
01:30:43,890 --> 01:30:46,267
and now with Oswald the Rabbit.

1496
01:30:46,351 --> 01:30:51,272
At this time, we'd like to
partner directly with MGM...

1497
01:30:51,356 --> 01:30:54,359
in order to distribute
our future animations.

1498
01:30:55,777 --> 01:30:58,321
Walter, we love Oswald...

1499
01:30:58,404 --> 01:31:00,865
but, everyone in town knows

1500
01:31:00,949 --> 01:31:03,785
that the rights
belong to Mintz...

1501
01:31:03,868 --> 01:31:06,746
and frankly, we're not going
to release another cartoon

1502
01:31:06,830 --> 01:31:08,748
for the rest of the year.

1503
01:31:08,832 --> 01:31:11,543
Mr. Quimby, if you could
just give me a chance,

1504
01:31:11,626 --> 01:31:14,045
we have some great new ideas
in the pipeline.

1505
01:31:14,128 --> 01:31:18,842
Walter, I am sorry.

1506
01:31:18,925 --> 01:31:21,010
Thank you for stopping by.

the time to see me.

it's just not the same.

What are you saying, Fred?

1510
01:31:30,103 --> 01:31:33,815
Ubbe, you know how highly
I think of the work you do.

1511
01:31:36,276 --> 01:31:38,528
Do you really think

1512
01:31:38,611 --> 01:31:42,031
there will always be
a Walt Disney Studios?

1513
01:31:42,115 --> 01:31:43,950
You of all people know
it takes time to get ahead.

1514
01:31:44,033 --> 01:31:46,536
Yeah, well, this is different.

1515
01:31:46,619 --> 01:31:48,496
Charles and George have made me

1516
01:31:48,580 --> 01:31:51,082
the new director of animation
for their studio.

1517
01:31:53,710 --> 01:31:59,841
You? One animator
is going to do it all?

1518
01:31:59,924 --> 01:32:00,967
Good luck.

1519
01:32:02,177 --> 01:32:05,597
Your friends, Hugh and Rudy...

1520
01:32:07,265 --> 01:32:11,811
they are both already
under contract.

1521
01:32:15,356 --> 01:32:18,943
Walt and Roy treated you
like a family. We're a team!

1522
01:32:20,987 --> 01:32:22,530
Good luck.

1523
01:32:22,614 --> 01:32:26,367
You're a traitor, Fred!
Don't you forget it!

1524
01:32:26,451 --> 01:32:29,496
Get out, get out!

1525
01:32:35,585 --> 01:32:38,004
So much potential.

1526
01:32:41,633 --> 01:32:44,302
Mr. Goldstein,
I feel that it's time

1527
01:32:44,385 --> 01:32:46,721
I started working directly
with Universal.

1528
01:32:46,804 --> 01:32:50,725
We just signed a three-year
deal with Mintz. You know that.

1529
01:32:50,808 --> 01:32:53,478
There's little room for us
to maneuver with him in there.

1530
01:32:53,561 --> 01:32:55,522
But you pay Charles for Oswald.

1531
01:32:55,605 --> 01:32:57,857
Isn't there some way
you can intervene?

1532
01:32:57,941 --> 01:33:01,319
If you could just hold on
for a year.

1533
01:33:01,402 --> 01:33:03,488
Hold on?

1534
01:33:03,571 --> 01:33:06,199
Mr. Goldstein, Mr. Laemmle
from Universal Studios

1535
01:33:06,282 --> 01:33:08,284
is on the line.

1536
01:33:08,368 --> 01:33:11,120
I was talking with a young
animator this morning.

1537
01:33:11,204 --> 01:33:13,540
He says anytime he sees
something new,

1538
01:33:13,623 --> 01:33:15,667
something that makes
your eyes pop...

1539
01:33:15,750 --> 01:33:18,461
the Disney name is attached.

1540
01:33:18,545 --> 01:33:20,755
Then that should
make you realize

1541
01:33:20,839 --> 01:33:23,716
the part that Disney
plays in making Oswald.

1542
01:33:23,800 --> 01:33:29,264
Walter, we know the part
you play, you are the best.

1543
01:33:29,347 --> 01:33:32,308
One year,
then we'll talk about a deal

1544
01:33:32,392 --> 01:33:34,310
directly between
Disney and Universal.

1545
01:33:34,394 --> 01:33:36,396
You know that I don't
have a year!
