- If you could be a fly on the wall, where art and technology meet together, where creatives bring incredible characters to life, what would you hear and see? You’ll learn what’s behind the scene of those great creators. And what if you use the same fresh look, finding the same grace and creativity even in the most difficult life situations, in the most unusual environment? You’ll discover incredible stories around you, essential stories for your life of tomorrow. Leslie Iwerks is a successful director active on global and humanitarian issues. Her first documentary The Hand Behind the Mouse: the Ub Iwerks story, (1999) is dedicated to her grandfather, Ub Iwerks, co-creator of Mickey Mouse. In 2006 she directed Recycled Life, nominated for an Academy Award, in 2007 The Pixar Story, nominated at the Emmy, and in 2010 directed Magic: Creating the Impossible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx
Without Ub, the Walt Disney company wouldn't be here today. He is just as important as Walt and Roy.
The entire Iwerks family has been inspirational over two centuries! So many have been touched by their creativity, dedication, engineering and the belief life's a story to be told... film its greatest medium. Leslie, as an accomplished filmmaker, to her father, Don, co-founder of Iwerks Entertainment, have largely shaped cinematic entertainment through a variety of unique projection technologies and cross-continental storytelling. We're grateful for their contributions that will live on for generations to come!
This is really a video that many more people should watch. Really glad I came across an article the other day about Ub Iwerks. So I took to youtube when I read about Leslie making a film about her grandfather, what a great story I only knew a little about previously.
Ub Iwerks is the Steve Wozniak to Walt Disney is to Steve Jobs.
With the 1 exception being that Walt and Ub after their falling out eventually started working together again and Walt gave Ub the positions he wanted.
A really interesting ted talk about the story behind the story of Disney. Anyone interested in Disney's beginning and saving "burning libraries" (watch the talk) should view this. Great job!
Great artists always have stories to share, thanks for sharing this.
The ingenuity and dedication of our inventor/filmmaker is awesome to find out more about.🎯🎥🏰🌠 Stay safe everyone!

I have seen the Documentary the hand behind the mouse and don said when Walt died his father Ub iwerks was sad about losing his friend
Rip Ub iwerks
Rip Walt Disney
Seriously that sucks .. they showed him drawing Mickey in the biopic Walt before Mickey .
That's because Iwerks didn't invent, Mickey. Mickey is a redesigned Oswald rabbit, which Walt created. I am not saying that Ub didn't have anything to do with the creation of Mickey, but Walt was also a great animator and both he and Ub created Mickey, how much each contributed to the design or look of Mickey ? Only they truly know for sure and anyone else who might have been there at the time.
@@Superman679 Absolutely correct. Even the Iwerks Family have confirmed Walt first came to Ub about the initial idea of making Oswald into a mouse and Walt's wife did suggest Mickey when Walt thought about naming him Mortimer. Ub did all the animations up until 1930 then left and came back 10 years later to do some animation but mainly to work on filming equipment and other innovations. Walt did do a rough first sketch of Mickey and would later doodle a image of Mickey for fan signings (extremely expensive to acquire now) but Ub was the animator for Mickey for those critical first years. Walt would later use the name Mortimer for Mickey's rival that pines for Minnie and gets Mickey insanely jealous in one of the few times Mickey got really mad.
@@dtnetlurker Walt drew the original sketch of Mickey. Ub made it more applicable for animation.
