One night Disney took his entire staff out to expensive dinner on his dime. Afterward they went to the auditorium at the studio. And for the next two hours or so it was just Walt Disney up on stage, with the spotlight focused on him, as he gave what could be described as a Steve Jobs keynote on meth. It was almost manic, as he acted out the project he was only then shocking them with: the first ever full-length animated feature. Immediately many of the staff said it couldn't be done. Disney's energy and enthusiasm however was contagious and they went full bore after something which had never been done before. And that's how Snow White came into being.
Mr. Disney was quite a remarkable man.
