SERIES PREMIERE April 28, 10/9c
Disney is one of the world’s most recognized (though in some corners vilified) brands, but Walt Disney’s beginnings were far humbler
A six-part docuseries charting the rise of the Disney entertainment empire begins in the 1920s with “The Birth of Mickey.” That would be Mickey Mouse, created by Walt and animator Ub Iwerks after Disney lost creative control of his first cartoon character (the now-obscure Oswald the Lucky Rabbit). With the iconic “Steamboat Willie,” also notable as the first animated short with synchronized sound, the Disney business is off and running.
