Who was Walt Disney?


Walter Elías Disney (1901-1966), cartoonist, producer and director of cartoon’s movies.

He was born in Chicago, Illinois, on December 5, 1901. His father, Elias Disney, was Irish-Canadian. His mother, Flora Call Disney, was of German-Americanand.


He left the school when he was 16 years old. Then he studied briefly in the School of Arts in hometown and Kansas City. In 1923 he began to produce cartoons in Hollywood with his brother Roy O. Disney.

On July 13, 1925, Walt married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds, in Lewiston, Idaho. and he had two daughters, Diane and Sharon . Three years after Walt and Lilly wed, Walt created a new animated character, Mickey Mouse



Disney appears here on drawing board, with the picture of Mickey Mouse, his famous cartoon and he obtained an Honorary Oscar in 1932 for this cartoon.





From 1926 to 1928 made some cartoons, such as: Rabbit Oswald for Universal pictures, Steamboat Willie that was produced in his company. In 1929 he made Silly Symphonies and he began with The Skeleton’s Dance. In 1934 he created to Donald Duck and did his first film of cartoons of the history in 1937 as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio (1940), Fantasy (1941) and Bambi (1942).

The 50s and 60s, Walt Disney Productions was the biggest cinematographic producer and his company published infantile literatures and comics.

Walt Disney Productions inaugurated a huge park, Disneyland in Anaheim, California, its historical reconstruction and its amusement to turn into a tourist place. Five years later that Walt Disney died for a lung’s cancer, Disney World opened near to Orland City and Euro Disney in the vicinity of Paris in 1992.

Meanwhile, the company produced documentaries as: The Live Desert (1953). Also in 50s produced adventure’s movies with real actors, The Treasure’s Island (1950), Robin Hood (1951), A wise on the clouds (1961), Mary Pop pins (1964). The movies more outstanding in this period were: Peter Pan (1953), The Bewitch Merlin (1963).

Disney has produced Aladdin (1992), The King Lion (1994), Pocahontas (1995), Toy Story (1995) and The Notre Dame hunchbacked, too.

Then we can say that Walt Disney founded a big entertainment ´s empery with his movies of cartoons and his famous amusement’s parks.

For that reason above mentioned I choose Walt Disney who was a famous person for his cartoon’s movies and I think to the movies and Disney World are the better entertainment in the world where adults and children will continue to have a great time with: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Bambi, etc





And if you want adventures, you don’t forget that there’s a wonderful place in the world
