Walt Disney

Walt Disney was born in Chicago, Illinois on December 5, 1901 and died on December 15, 1966. He created the legendary character Mickey Mouse and was the founder of Disneyland and the Walt Disney World Theme Park. He won 48 Academy Awards in his lifetime and is known as the most significant animator of his time.

His first Academy Award was for the creation of Mickey Mouse in 1932. Disney's first film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was dubbed "Disney's Folly" before its release. Much to the surprise of the rest of the film industry, "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" was an enormous success; it was the most successful picture of 1938 grossing $8 million ($98 million today). Although there were some rocky roads ahead, Walt Disney ended on top. He was a pioneer in animation, theme-park creation, film production, and screen writing; he created media that generations to come will watch and experience.
