Best Answer

Ub Iwerks worked as a commercial artist in Kansas City in 1919 when he met Walt Disney who was in the same profession. When Disney decided to form an animation company, Ub Iwerks was the first employee he had due to his skill at fast drawing as well as being a personal friend.

What did Walt Disney learn or practice as he was growing up?

Walt Disney was born in Kansas and moved to Missouri, he lived in a farm. When he was younger, he used to put shows in his garage for his neighbors and friends. He had a job delivering newspaper every morning before school. After a few years in Missouri, the Disney family moved back to Kansas where he took classes every Saturday at an art institute. Once again, they moved to Chicago when Walt was about 16. Walt was a cartoonist for the school paper. Later, he joined the Red Cross (in France) by lying about his age. After France, he moved back to Kansas, worked as an cartoonist for advertisement at Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio, where he met Ubbe Iwerks. At the age of 19, he and Ubbe formed a company called Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists. However, it didn't last due to financial issues. He then worked at Kansas City Film Ad Company when he began experimenting with animation and he started the Laugh-O-Grams which was successful until he started his own studio and couldn't pay the employees so they left him, bankrupted. I hope that was enough information. If you want to learn more about Walt Disney, I recommend reading How to Be Like Walt: Capturing the Disney Magic Every Day of Your Life. I read many biography about Walt Disney and that would be my absolute favorite.
