The first half of the book chronicles Vischer\u2019s coming of age, coming to Jesus, and coming to idolize and imitate Walt Disney. Vischer had a dream, a dream he believed was God-given.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family: Arial;\">Vischer\u2019s plan was to make a living during the day by doing commercial animation, and then in the evenings to develop an animated kid\u2019s show.
