Will there ever be another WED? No.
I was only aware of Uncle Walt for about 15 years before he went to the Big Theme Park in the Sky. There were 3 national TV stations--ABC, CBS, and NBC--in black and white. That's it, no cable, no satellite. Unless most of you are at least 40 years old you do not have any first-hand experience with Uncle Walt such as first run classic Disney movies, cartoons, original Disneyland TV show, original Mouseketters, Disney music, etc. My aunt and uncle lived in Whittier and knew several people who worked for Uncle Walt. He was a hard working taskmaster who did not offer many "thank yous"--ever. He expected perfection from his workers who hardly ever got the recognition or compensation they deserved. He was beloved and despised at times. Ub Iwerks was a genius also, who created the original Disney magic the majority of the time, along with the Nine Old Men. I only recently learned of UB and his genius. How many of you know of Ub? The question should also be, Will there ever be another Ub Iwerks? No.
