Author Jeff Ryan Talks Walt Disney, Ub Iwerks + the Creation of Mickey Mouse

On this animated episode of the Popzara Podcast our animation fanatic Nathan Evans talks with author Jeff Ryan about his new book A Mouse Divided: How Ub Iwerks Became Forgotten, and Walt Disney Became Uncle Walt, which details the fruitful – and contentious – relationship between Walt Disney and Ub iWerks through the creation of the most popular cartoon character in history: Mickey Mouse. The timing couldn’t be better: The Mouse celebrates his 90th birthday this year. If only we could all live on love and cheese.
