The Screen Cartoonists Guild started a
branch of its union in the Disney studio.
On May 29, 1941, there was a strike.
21
During the strike, Walt
made a “good will tour” of
South America for the U.S.
government.
In his absence, the strike was
settled.
After the strike, Walt didn’t feel as close to the people who worked for him.
He spent more time with his wife and two daughters, Diane and Sharon.
During this time, Disney Studios
created Pinocchio, Fantasia, and
Bambi. With each of these films
came new innovations.
Dad, read us a
story. Please
draw us a picture
of Jiminy Cricket.
Okay, girls …
How about a
drawing of
Thumper?
When Walt took his daughters to
amusement parks …
We can create a park
that is clean and fun
for the entire family!
Walt’s ideas for Disneyland began to
form when Walt took his daughters
to carousel and train rides on the
weekends.
