Smith started out as Ted Sear's assistant and later moved into the story department. Smith is credited by Walt Disney himself with being the guy who started the story board method. He is said to have drawn out each scene individually and pinned on a bulletin board (hence storyboard).
Smith is also known for writing the sequence where Pluto get stuck the to flypaper that was animated by Norm Ferguson in 1934 Playful Pluto.
Smith was one of the storymen who joined Walt Disney on the South American Goodwill Tour. His story ideas were rich with gags and good humor.
His career with Disney was short as he passed away in the mid to late 1940's.
