Confession: I didn’t set out to write a biography of Walt Disney.
I just wanted to know what Mickey really thought about that time he had to conduct an orchestra while wearing white gloves.
Turns out, he was furious.
Not at the music. Not at the brooms.
But because Goofy double-parked the steamboat… again.
That’s when it hit me: the real magic isn’t in the animation—it’s in the margins.
The sighs between scenes. The coffee stains on storyboard notes. The whispered arguments about whether Pluto should talk. (He shouldn’t. Fight me.)
So I wrote Walt Disney Through the Eyes of His Characters—a two-volume love letter to the unseen emotional labor of cartoon icons.
In Volume I, you’ll discover:
Snow White’s secret resentment toward dwarves who leave pickaxe marks on her good dishes
Maleficent’s therapy journal (she’s working on her “anger issues”… and her eyeliner)
Goofy’s surprisingly poetic reflections on fatherhood (“Max forgot his lunch. Again. My heart is a leaky thermos.”)
And in Volume II?
Let’s just say Elsa has strong opinions about Anna’s “spontaneous” door-kicking habit.
These aren’t just books.
They’re fanfiction with footnotes—part satire, part homage, all heart.
Because every character has a story behind the story.
Even the mouse who just wanted five minutes of quiet… and a parking space that wasn’t blocked by a sentient fire hydrant.

P.S. Both volumes come with illustrated “character confession” inserts. Perfect for framing… or passive-aggressively gifting to that friend who double-parks.
