Sarah Nilsen, Film Historian: He is feeling so much inside and he wants people to feel what he feels is inside. He could take those feelings that were so central to who he was, put 'em on screen, and allow other people to also feel them along with him.

Neal Gabler, Biographer: Most successful people, they get one thing right - - and that's it. But Walt Disney was a guy who got a whole lot of things right. What did this guy understand about the human psyche? Richard Schickel, Writer: Walt Disney was as driven a man as I've ever met in my life. What he really wanted to do was, as we used to say in the Middle West, make a name for himself. He had a sort of undifferentiated ambition. He wanted to be somebody, that's for sure.

Narrator: Walt Disney was still a few months shy of his 1. France after the first world war in 1. American boys streaming back home.

The job offer was the best most working- class boys could hope for, but Walt Disney was not like most working- class boys. Don Hahn, Animator: He's got all these ideas, and he starts acting on them. And where most people were . He was an extrovert.

He loved to be the center of attention. He wants to be an artist.

And I think he discovered something early on: That talent was his way of getting attention. He's a man of the times. And the times are exciting. Narrator: Walt was determined to do work he loved, and he had been an enthusiastic artist and cartoonist from the time he was little. He took a pass on factory work in Chicago and headed for Kansas City instead, where he had spent much of his boyhood. He moved into a house with two of his older brothers, and landed a job as a commercial artist for a local ad company.

Soon he was making enough money for fashionable clothes, fine cigars, meals at nice restaurants, and near- nightly trips to the movie houses springing up all over town. Disney's evenings in these new palaces of celluloid fantasy included at least one feature film, maybe a serial short, a newsreel, and an animated cartoon or two.

Tom Sito, Animator: It was an exciting and very dynamic medium. The industry was very young.

There was no regulations, or no customs, or no conformity. It was wide open to what people wanted to make of it. Narrator: Disney was captivated. His only formal training was a few months at an art school in Chicago, and a course at the Kansas City Art Institute, but he was convinced he could make better than what he was seeing. He checked out from the public library Eadweard Muybridge's Human Figures in Motion. Then he borrowed a volume that laid out the basics of animation in filmmaking.

Disney read about roughing out a storyline, creating characters, and carefully drawing each individual frame onto white linen paper; by mounting each frame on pegs, just as the book instructed, and shooting them one at a time, he began to create the illusion of movement. Sarah Nilsen, Film Historian: He was really into modern culture.

The pleasure of somehow engaging with the potential of cinema, the potential of animation was exciting to him. And he had this little ability to draw. He had a knack. Narrator: Disney's first efforts were short cartoons he made on nights and weekends with a film camera he borrowed from his boss at the ad company. The fees didn't even cover his costs, but Disney gained something more important than money: attention, excitement.. He hired a salesman, a business manager, and four young apprentice animators. Don Hahn, Animator: I can imagine a young Walt Disney just, you know, waking up at dawn and going out with his friends and saying, .

Let's film this. He couldn't do enough. Steven Watts, Historian: He has stars in his eyes. He thinks he can do anything and everything that he wants. He has big plans. He's going to conquer the world.

Narrator: Just as he was beginning to get some traction in the modern movie industry, Walt's parents arrived from Chicago. Elias and Flora Disney moved in with their sons because they had nowhere else to turn; the jelly factory had failed - - the latest in a long line of Elias's business disasters.

While Disney's mother tried to be supportive of Walt's new career, his father took little joy in his youngest son's minor celebrity. He told Walt not to expect his new success to last. Walt began to worry he was going to end up, once again, in service to his father.

Ron Suskind, Writer: Disney lived a very, very difficult existence in Missouri as a kid. He works all the time. His father is an imperious, withholding, kind of brutal character. Walt Disney was fun- loving.

He loved practical jokes. He was a kid who just loved people.

Walt was antithetical to Elias not only by temperament, but also by will. He determined, . I'm going to be the antithesis of him. Look at his life. I don't want to live that life. And the minute he gets into full upright adulthood, whether he says it to himself or not, he's like, .

I don't know how, but I yearn for the things that I didn't get as a child. Walt could no longer make payroll, or pay the rent on his office, the phone bill, the electrical bill. Creditors began circling, while Walt insisted he had discovered the means for a daring escape, which he explained in a Hail Mary letter to one of the best- known cartoon distributors in New York. His big idea was to insert footage of a real girl into animated scenes.

Alice in Cartoonland, he crowed, was . He finished his cartoon experiment with little help while sleeping at the office, bathing at the train station, subsisting on canned beans and the charity of a Greek diner. But, by the time the cartoon short was finished in the summer of 1. His company was headed for bankruptcy court. Alice in Cartoonland would not save Laugh- O- grams, Inc. Walt Disney had suffered his first real failure.

He packed his cardboard suitcase with two spare shirts and what was left of his drawing supplies, then headed for Union Station, where he treated himself to a first- class ticket on the Santa Fe California Limited - - straight through to Los Angeles. Steven Watts, Historian: Hollywood in the 1. It's this golden city on the west coast. Hollywood, Los Angeles - - that's where the action is at. And I think Disney senses that, and that's where he wants to be. Neal Gabler, Biographer: He's not thinking about animation now.

He's already failed with animation. So the next step is, . That's what I'm going to do. But after weeks of effort, Walt had not been able to talk his way into a job. His older brother Roy, who had moved to Los Angeles for health reasons, had little patience for Walt's insistence on finding a place in the movie business.

Roy hadn't been star- struck on arrival. He sold vacuum cleaners door- to- door when he first got to town, and he admonished his brother to find a similar job - - one that paid. Walt was considering this advice when a cartoon distributor from New York got in touch.
