Marty Sklar's 'Dream It! Do It!'
Marty Sklar has been working for the Disney Company since one month before Disneyland opened. Hired on as the person responsible for the Disneyland newspaper, Sklar moved his way up the ladder to become the chief writer for Walt Disney and an Imagineer.
Sklar’s new book, Dream It! Do It!, details his life as a member of the Disney team. From the time he spent working with Walt Disney through the time that he worked with Michael Eisner through to his retirement in 2009, there isn’t much that Sklar didn’t do for the House of the Mouse. For those who love all things Disney, this book is a no-brainer purchase. Because Sklar worked and wrote for Walt and Roy Disney, he is able to give some insights to the men behind the Disney Company. Sklar denies the rumor that Disney was an anti-Semite and says that the rumor may have sprung up from Walt’s experiences with Charles Mintz, who stole Oswald the Rabbit and several Disney animators. Sklar’s clear prose and interesting stories, make Dream It! Do It! an easy read. Whether you are looking for inspirational quotes or funny stories regarding the inner workings of the Disney Company over the last 50 years, Sklar’s book is a good place to start. |
