You may not know his name, but you definitely know his work. Meet Ub Iwerks, the man behind the creation of Mickey Mouse and one of the pioneers of the animation industry.
Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks met in Kansas City and worked together throughout the years to make their make on the world of animations through many ventures together, however only one of them ever gets the credit. From drawing every early Mickey Mouse cartoon, including Steamboat Willie to making technical innovations like they were nothing, Ub Iwerks deserves to have his story told.
