The Disney Labor Strike of 1941 | EarzUp!

from EarzUp! · host EarzUp! Podcast

Coming off the success that was "Snow White", Walt and his studio went on a bit of a box office loosing streak - first with "Fantasia" and then with "Pinocchio". He had just sunk a bunch of money into his new animation campus, and something had to change. So Walt proposed salary and perk cuts to the animators, and they did not take it well at all. Things had been building behind the scenes for a couple of years, and they all came to a head in 1941. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
