As a young boy, Disney story artist Bill Peet used to spend hours at the circus, drawing everything he could.
“I did have hopes of doing something with it. In those days, my secret ambition was to be an illustrator of animal stories.”
When Peet began his career at Walt Disney Studios in 1937, he felt his “secret ambition” had been achieved. Unfortunately, this feeling didn’t last long. Peet quickly discovered that animating and illustrating were two VERY different disciplines.
