I caught this program on Ovation Tv last night, and I had to post about it.

It was probably one of the most informative documentaries I have ever seen. It's 2 hours long, but goes so smoothly you don't even know where the time went.

They discuss in detail the life of Ub Iwerks, and his long time relationship with Walt.

I highly recommend you try to catch this. I view this channel on Directv, but I'm not sure if the channel is subscribed through other companies.

It is on again tonight at 5Pm and June 21st at 3PM. I believe thats PST.

Anyway, try to take a look at it. Very impressive.

I Googled it...it was released on dvd on (get this) 9/11/2001. Apparently it was narrated by Kelsey Grammer. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I'd love to see this. Amazon has it on VHS tape for $27.00. I'd like to find it on dvd.

Maybe after viewing this film I will know whether or not I've been pronouncing Ub Iwerks correctly these many years. ;-)

Ub is not pronounced like "You-b", but is pronounced like the U sound in "Duh".

You're both in luck then. The "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit" Disney treasures set has this documentary as an extra. Highly recommended!
