In Saludos Amigos

A very brief summary of the strike, told by Tom Sito, President-Emeritus of The Animation Guild. In other words, not Walt’s side of the story.

“Walt felt personally betrayed when Art Babbitt, his highest-paid animator, resigned as president of the Disney company union to join the Guild. Three days after Disney brazenly fired Babbitt, the Disney strike began on May 29, 1941.

The strike lasted for five weeks, forever tearing the social fabric of the studio.”

— Tom Sito

More background than you could possibly want about the background of Saludos Amigos and The Three Caballeros, but only Walt’s side of the story on the labor strike.

Come for the behind the scenes of 1940s Disney, stay for the joys of 1940s Rio!
