I love the extras on the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Dvd where they go into a lot of detail about how Walt gave him his first chance at a big budget film. He couldn't believe Walt wanted him when his father Max was his biggest competitor at one time. Fleischer was very nervous but for some reason Walt really believed in him and it paid off for both of them.
I have 8 of his films on blu and one on Dvd (Trapped). Just waiting for a price drop on that one...
