Why Goofy Hates Mickey

This 'Unauthorized Mostly True Story' takes place in Los Angeles 1928 just as brothers, Walt and Roy Disney, are fired from their animation jobs at Universal Pictures. More importantly, the brothers also lose their right to animate "Oswald the Lucky Rabbit", a cartoon character which made them famous. They are determined to start over by opening their own animation studio, if only they can find the necessary venture capital and a lovable new character to replace Oswald.

Unfortunately, every overture for financial backing gets rejected once investors discover 'The Brothers' earlier attempt to become independent resulted in bankruptcy.

This is when they encounter George Geef and his cocktail waitress girlfriend, Mandie Babitsky. George is a wannabe prize fighter from Chicago who's new in town, a bit insecure yet determined to do whatever it takes to become famous. Mandie is smart, sophisticated, and success driven.

With a little arm-twisting, George and Mandie convince the Disney Brothers to abandon their traditional hand-drawn animation techniques and acquire the exclusive rights to George and Mandie's primitive motion-capture technology which utilizes real actors on a sound stage and their conversion into comical, animated imaging. Our story culminates in the revelation of Disney's clandestine production of "Steamboat Willie", Disney's iconic cartoon that spawned an entertainment empire.

Preconceived notions of animation history will be turned on it's head as this longest and best kept secret in Hollywood is revealed.
