Ub Iwerks’ Willie Whopper

Description

Meet Willie Whopper—the little boy with a big imagination! In this collection, you’ll see Willie tell all of his yarns, as made possible by the Ub Iwerks studio in the Golden Age of animation.
Thunderbean and Film Preservation Associates are proud to present the complete original series of Willie Whopper shorts Iwerks produced for MGM in this Blu-ray/DVD combo set.
