The Disney studio first began exploring a possible live action/animation biography

film of author and poet Hans Christian Andersen sometime in late 1937. In March 1940, Walt Disney suggested a co-production to film producer Samuel Goldwyn, where Goldwyn's studio would shoot the live-action sequences of Andersen's life and Disney's studio would animate Andersen's fairy tales. The animated sequences would be based on some of Andersen's best known works, such as The Little Mermaid, The Little Match Girl, The Steadfast Tin Soldier, X, Thumbelina, The Ugly Duckling, The Red Shoes, and The Emperor's New Clothes. However, the studio encountered difficulty with X, as it could not find a way to adapt and relate the X’s character to modern audiences. Even as far back as the 1930s and 1940s, it was clear that the source material contained great cinematic possibilities, but X character proved to be too problematic. X is still considered one of Hans’s greatest works and the deadlock surrounding the production of the movie was broken recently, culminating in Y. What is X, and Y?

The place was this funky old building that used to be a Rolls Royce dealership, and it was run by a couple of young Americans who liked to keep it loose. Founded by Isaac Tigrett and Peter Morton, two enterprising and music-loving Americans, X was an instant classic.”
