Walt Disney genius of animated films. He created a fairy tale on screens for parents and children, earning millions of dollars from it.
Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901. He spent his childhood in Marceline, Missouri. Disney took a particular interest in drawing. At seven years old, Walt was selling his comics. After school, he attended courses for cartoonists. There he was taught to express his thoughts outside the box and in a funny way. Disney was a funny kid, so he always got funny and good-natured images.
In 1918, Disney tried to enlist in the military, but was turned down due to his young age. But then he was accepted as a volunteer to the Red Cross. There he worked as a driver for an ambulance, which later became a tourist attraction, as Disney painted it with paints.
After returning, Walt entered the Institute of Arts, where he finally realized that he wanted to devote his life to drawing.
In 1923, Disney moved to Hollywood, where he began to build his career. His first cartoon was with the participation of the girl Alice. On December 16, 1923, the document was signed establishing the Walt Disney Company. Then there were several episodes of a new cartoon featuring a rabbit. In November 1928, a cartoon with sound with the participation of Mickey Mouse was released, which won an Oscar in 1932.
In 1933, the cartoon "Three Little Pigs" appeared, and the following year Walt Disney began filming the full-length cartoon "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs". The costs were enormous. The profits were colossal, and Walt became rich.
Disney has always loved fairy tales with a good ending. He was always in creativity. But one day Disney realized that making cartoons was no longer enough for him. And in the early 50s of the last century, he came up with the idea of creating an amusement park - Disneyland. Walking with the children, he realized that in the United States there is no place where cartoon characters could communicate with people. The first Disneyland in California was opened on July 17, 1955. $ 17 million was spent on its construction. But soon everything paid off.
The California Institute of the Arts was built in 1961, and The Walt Disney World opened in Florida in 1971. Walt Disney was a heavy smoker and died of lung cancer on December 15, 1966.
