Download Inside the Whimsy Works: My Life with Walt Disney Productions AudioBook Free
In such a never-before-published memoir from the files on the Walt Disney Archives, Disney Legend Jimmy Johnson (1917-1976) takes you from his beginnings as a studio gofer through the times of Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs to the starting of Walt Disney World Holiday resort. Johnson relates dozens of personal anecdotes with famous celebrities, beloved painters, and, of course, Walt and Roy Disney. This audiobook, also the storyline of how an empire-within-an-empire is born and nurtured, traces Johnson's improvements in merchandising, posting, and immediate marketing, to the formation of what's now Walt Disney Records. This fascinating autobiography explains the way the records helped determine the course of Disney Theme Parks, television set, and film through best-selling recordings by icons such as Annette Funicello, Fess Parker, Julie Andrews, Louis Armstrong, and Leopold Stokowski and the Philadelphia Orchestra. Through Jimmy Johnson's remarkable journey, the film, TV, and recording industries grow up jointly as changes in likes and technologies form the world, as the legacy of Disney is developed as well as carefully sustained for the generations who cherish its stories, character types, and music. The publication is publicized by the College or university Press of Mississippi.
