We need way more documentaries like this on Disney+. I loved The Imagineering Story so much, I have seen it at least 20-25 times in full.

"My father is Don Iwerks. My grandfather is Ub Iwerks." Mic drop of all-time? I'm watching ANYTHING she directs.

Leslie Iwerks deserves Disney Legend status after this one.

I truly can’t wait to see my grandfather in this documentary. He was an opening day Disneyland Band cast member and seeing this footage again is going to be an absolute treasure that will last a lifetime.

Ub deserves more credit!! There should be a statue of him next to Walt’s. He would never have been a success without him

I shouldn't get this emotional watching a behind-the-scenes teaser for a behind-the-scenes documentary... but here we are.

One thing Walt had a plan and a dream for kids of all ages and he went all out. In his mind go BIG or go Home and he Won. I'm so happy that he did.
