Human, simple, and brilliant.
‘A wino, resigned and stuck in his ways, finds mysterious sketches on the park bench that he visits every day. As these pictures stir his thoughts, he begins to notice the world around him and to reflect upon his own place within it. He meets a young boy whose innocent encouragement helps to release him from his self destructive social withdrawal and unlocks a part of his character that had been long forgotten.’

An Excerpt from Joe Adamson's, 'The Walter Lantz Story'
Walter claims that he was always able to avoid taking things too seriously, even when he was commandeering a department of one hundred twenty people or struggling to keep his independent outfit afloat. “You can really help yourself by not letting stress get inside you,” he says. “The people who let stress get them are the ones who worry so much about the little things. When you’re busy and interested in what you’re doing, it just seems to pour out naturally, you don’t think of stress. It’s not ego, either, it’s just that you love what you’re doing and feel good about it.”
