Walt Disney

Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born on December 5, 1901, at 2156 N.Tripp Avenue in Chicago. He was an American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entrepreneur, entertainer, international icon and philanthropist, well known for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. Along with his brother Roy. O.Disney, he was co-founder of Walt Disney productions, which later became one of the best know motion picture producers in the world. The corporation is now known as The Walt Disney Company.

Mickey Mouse was created in 1928.

He used Technicolor for first time in animation during the production of his Silly Symphonies in 1932.

In 1932 animation “The Flowers and Trees” won Walt the first of his 32 personal Academy Awards.

In 1937 he released “The Old Mill” the first short subject to utilize the multiplane camera technique. Following this animation on 21 of December (the same year) “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” was the first full long animation premiered at the Carthay Circle Theatre in Los Angeles.  Other full length animation was made by this company we can mention Dumbo, Fantasia, Bambi, and Pinocchio.

 I enjoy watching Disney's cartoons very much, it was interesting to know where did came from and how it developed.
