A young Bret Iwan (Mickey Mouse) plays Fantasmic in the backyard with his kid brother and discovers a unique talent. 

“Hey, that kind of sounds like him.” - Bret Iwan

Always a creative, Bret would grow up to be a successful artist until a random email would change his entire future, and that of the most iconic cartoon character of all time.

Special thanks to Fiona Iwan for the amazing photo of Bret in the cover art, and to Kaleb Banghart for reading excerpts from Bret's actual childhood letter to Disney!
