And Ub came out in 1924.
Yeah.
That's why you have D23, because it's 1923.
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
They were like 27 or 28 when Mickey was created.
Well, I think they had this great relationship all the way through their lives.
And I think that as anybody changes and wants to improve their own selves or strike out on their own and try to do their own thing, just like Walt did, I mean, I think it's a complicated relationship and I can't speak for either one of them, obviously.
But
All I can know is what I've read and what I've read about in interviews and things like that from Ub and Walt and also from my grandparents or my family stories.
But I think that the respect was always there.
Walt always respected Ub.
but I think that there came a time speaking of post Mickey success, that overnight sensation, even though it wasn't an overnight sensation, it was third film in, but they had been working towards this moment for the last, since 19, for the last almost decade, right.
To try to get to the success of Mickey mouse, um, through several other series.
And that experimentation era was formative for both of them.
They were in a very significant partnership, um,
But I think when Mickey became successful, Walt felt the strain and the stress of pushing that character out there and at a speed in which, and quality or not quality, whatever it was, that rattled Ub to the point where he was considered the top animator of his day.
He was considered...
by many in the top people in the industry, in the animation, in the early animation industry, that he was considered the guy, that without Walt Disney would be nothing.
