Disney and Heisenberg - Separated at Birth?

I always like it when my profession overlaps with my "obsession". This has happened a few times on here, and example would be Enrico Fermi's lab notes using characters from Winnie the Pooh.


This one is even more amazing. It appears that there are many similarities between the lives of Walt Disney, and physicist Werner Heisenberg, he of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle. The two most important similarities are that they were both born on the same day (Happy Birthday Walt and Werner!), and they won their major awards in the same year.

What are the odds of that? :)
