After a 35-year career at Disney, Don formed his own company, Iwerks Entertainment, Inc., in 1986. The maker of giant-screen theaters and 3D-projection-based theme park attractions was acquired by SimEx, Inc. in 2001.<\/p>\n

From them, he learned that keeping a keen eye on detail and quality is the key to success. \u201cThere was a \u2018can-do\u2019 attitude I learned from Walt and my father,\u201d he once said. \u201cIf you\u2019re doing a really first-class job, you don\u2019t need to worry about the money.
