After working on many Disney shorts from 1930 to 1932, he began directing many of the animated shorts. Then in 1937, David Hand was the Supervising Director for the very first animated feature length film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. In 1942, he was the Supervising Director for Bambi, another breakthrough animated feature film for Walt Disney. The author worked very closely with Walt, though it was not always a pleasant task. David Hand was considered to be Walt Disney's right hand man by both studio insiders and the press. In 1943 he was the Animation Supervisor for the wartime Disney classic, Victory Through Airpower. David left the Disney Studio in 1944, and headed for England to establish an animation studio for the Rank Organization. He built a respectable animation enterprise from scratch, and produced the films in the Musical Paint Box and the Animaland series. This is truly the inside story of the early days of animation innovation by Walt Disney and one of his closest, most trusted artists. Privately published by the author's widow, it is a unique and very hard to find original source of the behind-the-scenes workings of the studio during the 1930s and 1940s which is referenced in other books about Disney. Includes a complete filmography of the author's work at Disney from 1930 to 1944.. VG+/NONE.
