YEAH!!!!!! It's time more people knew about Ub Iwerks.

"I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by Ub's mouse."

Oh great! It's really nice to see someone making a documentary on Chuck Jones a few years after his passing.

I've already got my TiVo set for this.

I watched this last night (it is a wonderful show BTW) and saw that it was actually made in 1999. There may be a DVD of it available for purchase somewhere.

Mickey's Other Unseen Hand...

On this day in 1971, Ub Iwerks passes away in Burbank, California. Other than Walt Disney, he was the one most responsible for the creation of Mickey Mouse. He was a legendary animation pioneer and helped Walt turn the animation medium into the art form it is today. Animation fans the world over truly owe this great man a world of thanks.

Steamboat Willie toots his horn for you, Ub...
