Description

The Perfect American is a fictionalised biography of Walt Disney's final months as narrated by Willhelm Dantine, an Austrian cartoonist who worked for Disney in the 40s and 50s illustrating sequences for Sleeping Beauty. It is also the story of Dantine himself, who desperately seeks Disney's recognition at the risk of his own ruin. Dantine follows Disney's trail to capture what makes Walt tick; he wants readers to grasp what it is like to live and breathe around the man who thought of himself as more famous than Santa Claus.
