That was the big secret. Walt would do things over and over again, with no regard to money, to get things perfect.

In 1930 he started working for Paul Terry as a cartoonist on the Aesop's Film Fables cartoon series then worked briefly for Amadee J. as an animator in 1933 where he was noted as a fast animator. He made a brief return at MGM in the 1960s to produce the animated film The Bear that Wasn't based on his own book (see below).
