Walt Disney Goes to South America EarzUp!

    • Places & Travel

In August of 1941, Walt and a team of composers, animators, storytellers, and directors, went on a research trip to South America on behalf ot the US Government. The goal was to gather enough materials to fill out a couple of projects, with a fair amount of goodwill thrown around, too. What Walt got out of the trip was not one but two great films, a series of weird shorts, and an education for his artists that would change the way the studio made films moving forward.
