Walt Disney

                                               Walt Disney

Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born on December 5, 1901, in Hermosa, Illinois. He and his brother Roy co-founded Walt Disney Productions, which became one of the best-known motion-picture production companies in the world. He is also the man responsible for creating the world’s most recognisable mouse, you all saw him at least once in your life. Whether it be a cartoon or a guy dressed as him or even a toy Mickey Mouse is not easily missed.

 In 1919, Disney moved to Kansas City to pursue a career as a newspaper artist. His brother Roy got him a job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio, where he met cartoonist Ubbe Eert Iwwerks, better known as Ub Iwerks. From there, Disney worked at the Kansas City Film Ad Company, where he made commercials based on cut-out animation. Around this time, Disney began experimenting with a camera, doing hand-drawn cell animation, and decided to open his own animation business.

In fact, during the great depression everyone was in a struggle but they did so well during the great depression they earned almost 1.46 million dollars which during that time was immense.

But the company didn’t last long and he filed for bankruptcy in the very end but then made the very famous Disney animation company that we all love to this day.

Disney was also among the first to use television as an entertainment medium. The Zorro and Davy Crockett series were extremely popular with children, as was The Mickey Mouse Club, a variety show featuring a cast of teenagers known as the Mouseketeers. Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Colour was a popular Sunday night show, which Disney used to begin promoting his new theme park. Disney's last major success that he produced himself was the motion picture Mary Poppins (1964), which mixed live action and animation.

1. Way that he revolutionised the animation industry is by mixing animation and live acting together into one simple thing, Marry Poppins in 1962 is a example of this.

2. Walt looked forward to advancements, even tried making a whole park in the theme of today (modern theme) but he never realised it.

3. Walt wanted to give each animation a story and personality, each film may have a bad guy and good guy but each of them have their unique personalities and qualities the others don't have.
