Walt Disney had entertained the idea of producing a feature-length animated film for years, and when financial troubles began to brew, Disney knew he had to come up with something new to save his company. He invested $1,500,000 and three years of hard work, along with the combined talents of 570 artists, into the production of this animation classic. The film was a huge success, earning $8,500,000 Depression-era dollars, that not only saved the company financially, but also laid the foundation for the animation empire that was to follow. The film was such a significant screen innovation that it was given a special Oscar (and seven tiny oscars) in 1939.
