520    An essential piece of Disney history has been unreported 
       for eighty years.  Soon after the birth of Mickey Mouse, 
       one animator raised the Disney Studio far beyond Walt’s 
       expectations. That animator also led a union war that 
       almost destroyed it. Art Babbitt animated for the Disney 
       studio throughout the 1930s and through 1941, years in 
       which he and Walt were jointly driven to elevate animation
       as an art form, up through Snow White, Pinocchio, and 
       Fantasia.  But as America prepared for World War II, labor
       unions spread across Hollywood. Disney fought the unions 
       while Babbitt embraced them. Soon, angry Disney cartoon 
       characters graced picket signs as hundreds of animation 
       artists went out on strike. Adding fuel to the fire was 
       Willie Bioff, one of Al Capone’s wiseguys who was seizing 
       control of Hollywood workers and vied for the animators’ 
       union.  Using never-before-seen research from previously 
       lost records, including conversation transcriptions from 
       within the studio walls, author and historian Jake S. 
       Friedman reveals the details behind the labor dispute that
       changed animation and Hollywood forever.   The Disney 
       Revolt is an American story of industry and of the 
       underdog, the golden age of animated cartoons at the 
       world’s most famous studio.
