Noteworthy Company News:

The Disney animators’ strike took place in 1941, lasting from May 29 to September 21. The strike was a result of growing tensions between Disney management and the animators over issues of pay, working conditions, and recognition of their union. The strike had a profound impact on the company and led to changes in the way Disney operated and treated its employees.
Following the strike, Walt Disney embarked on a goodwill tour of South America as part of the U.S. government’s efforts to strengthen ties with Latin American countries during World War II. This tour would later inspire the creation of the films Saludos Amigos (1942) and The Three Caballeros (1944).
