Walt Disney: The Man Who Kept Betting on a Mouse

from Little Mavericks · host Little Mavericks

A young man is fired from a newspaper for "having no imagination." Meet Walt Disney: the boy who delivered papers in the freezing dark and grew up to gamble everything on a mouse, on sound, and on the first full-length cartoon the world had ever seen. The big idea: imagination, plus the courage to keep going, can outlast you for a hundred years. A true story for curious kids, ages 6 and up. Part of Little Mavericks.
