Perhaps one of my favorite things about Disney is this: At first, it's all sparkle and magic. Whether you're visiting the parks or enjoying Disney movies, every bit of it is captivating in some of the most imaginative ways possible. And then, when you look deeper, you start to notice the real genius behind it all. Underneath the parks, the rides, the attractions, the movies, you'll find a level of craftsmanship that just isn't all that common. If we're speaking of Disney genius and craftsmanship, then we must talk about animator Milt Kahl. Some refer to him as the "master puppeteer"—and among all Disney animators, he is one of the most legendary. In fact, he was part of the Nine Old Men, a prominent group of animators responsible for so many Disney classics. Let's dive into his story so that we can be inspired by his talents and accomplishments...

Disney is one of my favorite topics, and that's because it has played a huge role in my life. There are many stories I could tell about my experiences with Disney, but one, in particular, stands out. When we lived in California, my parents bought us a yearly pass to Disneyland. Each week, we'd go there for a family fun day—despite the fact that traffic often meant it would take us three to four hours to get there.

I've always found Disney inspiring, and one of the most inspiring parts of this entertainment giant is the people who made it what it is today. Wolfgang "Woolie" Reitherman was one of those people, and he's who I would like to focus on today to see what we can learn from his life story.
