I remember the urban legend where Walt is cryogenically frozen under “The Pirates of the Caribbean” ride in Anaheim as it was the last ride which Walt helped envision and he passed away shortly before it was opened in 67. It became a popular rumor, even PBS has covered it.
“The Disney animators’ strike (1941) reflected anger at inequities of pay and privileges at the non-unionised Walt Disney Productions. As a famously autocratic employer, Walt Disney responded to the 5-week strike by firing many of his animators, but was eventually pressured into recognising the Screen Cartoonist’s Guild (SCG)”
