Walt Disney for better or worse was a major force in creating American popular culture. Neal Gabler examines in fine detail Disney's cultural legacy.
In the introduction to Walt Disney: The Triumph of the American Imagination, film historian Neal Gabler states a larger intention than just biography.
While Gabler’s book may set the record straight, and steer away from the sensational, it remains clear that Disney did have some pretty unsavoury political connections, was involved in a group renowned for its rabid anti-Semitism and did indeed, by any modern standards, drink too much.

The important thing is Disney’s career as an artist. The long and the short of it is he kicked animation as an art form light-years into the future. The apogee of that technical and aesthetic revolution came with the release in 1937 of Snow White. Disney was then in his mid 30s. After that, his artistic career was really all down hill, until he could barely care less what his production studio was making.
It's best to really look at the height of Disney's artistic career beginning in 1928 with Mickey Mouse and ending some 9 years later in 1937 with Snow White.
Another five years could arguably be added onto that, for in 1942 he released (after agonising years of production) the masterpiece Bambi.
