Dragon, you may not know this but I am the director and scriptwriter of our school play that revolves around Disney. And I have read his background but let's go with your souces for now

First is the Animators Strike which I quote wikipedia

"Disney artists were the best paid and worked under the best conditions in the industry—but they were discontented."

"In 1940, due to the box-office failures of Pinocchio and Fantasia, Disney was forced to make lay-offs, although Walt rarely involved himself in the actual hiring and firing of individual employees unless at the top of the pay chain. By this time the pay structure at the Disney studio had become very disorganized with some high ranking animators earning as much as $200 to $300 a week while low ranking employees made as little as $12 a week."

Next, the sweatbox which I still quote

"...about forty minutes in, we witness the fateful day in which an early story-boarded cut of the film is screened for the heads of Disney Feature Animation, Thomas Schumacher and Peter Schneider. They hate the film, declare that it is not working, and begin a process of totally scrapping and reinventing huge chunks of the story."

With the rest of the article being about Thomas and Peter
