I spoke to the father and daughter about the life of Ub Iwerks and the fact that so many aren’t that familiar with his contributions to the Disney company, but Leslie Iwerks says she’s happy with the credit that he has received and the relationship Ub had with Walt Disney that spawned such an incredibly output of creativity.
Joining him was his daughter Leslie Iwerks, a documentary filmmaker responsible for, among other things, The Imagineering Story on Disney+, as well as the documentary film The Hand Behind the Mouse.
And she admits part of the reason Ub’s credit may have been delayed was that it was never something he sought.
