Explore the book's comprehensive sections that showcase the many facets of Walt Disney's life:

- Heart: Walt as a family man

- Determination: his inexhaustible drive as a businessman and citizen

- Inspiration: key figures, places, and works that influenced Walt

- Animation: his pioneering of short-form and feature-length animation into an American art form

- Innovation: his experimental and trailblazing contributions to the craft of live-action, animated, and documentary cinema

- Creativity: Walt's curiosity with miniatures, trains, and more

- Imagination: Disneyland, EPCOT, and beyond

- and Legacy: awards and recognition he received throughout the years

Readers of all ages and backgrounds will find something inspiring and entertaining in these pages: from personal ephemera, like Walt's handwritten designs of EPCOT and the bronzed hat gifted to his wife Lillian on her birthday in 1941; to artifacts from Walt's film, television, and theme park ventures like original animation artwork for a variety of Disney animated films and concept art for groundbreaking Disneyland attractions; to one-of-a-kind treasures like Walt's miniature steam engine, the Lilly Belle; and his individual record-setting collection of Academy Awards(R).
