Two years before Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, four months after
the release of the first Mickey Mouse short in color, The Band
Concert, Walt Disney traveled to Europe and took conscience of the
extent of his international fame. His wife, Lillian; his brother,
Roy; and his sister-in-law, Edna went with him. They were feted by
nobility, by political elites, and by the most prominent European
artists, among whom H.G. Wells and Louis Lumiere. They came back
with more than three hundred books, which would remain sources of
inspiration at the Disney Studio for years to come. They came back
with a broader view of the world. And Walt came back with ideas
which would infuse his creations for decades. All in all, it was a
seminal trip at the height of Disney s Golden Age. But did Walt
really receive a medal from the League of Nations during his stay
in Paris? Did he really meet Benito Mussolini while in Rome? Was
the trip pure pleasure or did it involve much business? How were
the Disney businesses structured in Europe at the time? Using as
his sources Edna and Roy s diary of the trip, as well as hundreds
of European newspaper and magazine articles released in 1935,
Didier Ghez, for the first time, gives precise answers to those
questions, analyses the roots of Disney s expansion in Europe, and
lets us relive complete with dozens of never-released photographs
the trip of a lifetime, Disney s Grand Tour.
