A: Yes, Walt was a perfectionist, and that did indeed make him difficult for some artists to work with. (I always laugh at a statement Walt himself made regarding Fantasia:“I always thought I was the perfectionist until I met Stokowski.”) The impression I get is that you needed to know how to work with Walt. For example, he didn’t like to be reminded of things he was supposed to have said before. He didn’t like being told that something he wanted could not be done. And he didn’t like to be told how much something would cost.
