I mean, without the Mary Blairs and the, and the, you know, the Mr. Gurr and, you know, there's, there's so many brilliant people in this mix and, and, and,

The one thing we do know is Walt must have had a magical ability at winding these people up and sending them off in the directions he did.

And it's also in the Handcrafted film about sort of trusting people to go in different directions and it all sort of kind of arrives at the right point.
