Rare Color Film of 1941 Disney Strike
July 20, 2007 1:34 am
I was organizing some dvds tonight and stumbled upon this rare color footage from the 1941 Disney strike. If I recall correctly, it’s from the collection of Tee Bosustow, who I’m currently collaborating with on a very cool project. His father, UPA co-founder Steve Bosustow, can be seen clapping his hands in the video at about 1:22. The footage also includes strike leaders like the recently departed David Hilberman (above photo, right) and Art Babbitt (above, left). The Fats Domino song isn’t part of the original footage obviously, just something I added to break the silence. |

I have some of the same footage in 16mm. I believe it was shot by John Hubley.
Wow! What a find!! What a time capsule!!
Was that Walt driving by in his big luxury Packard?
Best-looking picket-signs —ever!
Cool! Of course if a strike this happened today Disney Corp would sue the picketing workers for unauthorized use of their copyrighted characters.
Cheers.
Is that Cy Young showing up around :38?
Best strike signs ever!!

That was absolutely Walt, looking pissed.
Dude, check out those picket signs! Now that’s dedication. Artists, through and through.
Too cool; really brings it to life. The music is hot, too. Thanks, Amid!
