Walt Disney: life and works

Walter Elias Disney (; December 5, 1901 – December 15, 1966) was an American entrepreneur, animator, writer, voice actor, and film producer. A investor of the American freshness industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, he holds the scrap book for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He was presented next two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among further honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.

Born in Chicago in 1901, Disney developed an early raptness in drawing. He took art classes as a guy and got a job as a personal ad illustrator at the age of 18. He moved to California in the early 1920s and set stirring the Disney Brothers Studio taking into account his brother Roy. With Ub Iwerks, he developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928, his first highly popular success; he next provided the voice for his launch in the in the future years. As the studio grew, he became more adventurous, introducing synchronized sound, full-color three-strip Technicolor, feature-length cartoons and obscure developments in cameras. The results, seen in features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio, Fantasia (both 1940), Dumbo (1941), and Bambi (1942), furthered the move on of perky film. New booming and live-action films followed after World War II, including the methodically successful Cinderella (1950) and Mary Poppins (1964), the latter of which expected five Academy Awards.

In the 1950s, Disney expanded into the amusement park industry, and in July 1955 he opened Disneyland in Anaheim, California. To fund the project he diversified into television programs, such as Walt Disney’s Disneyland and The Mickey Mouse Club. He was also keen in planning the 1959 Moscow Fair, the 1960 Winter Olympics, and the 1964 New York World’s Fair. In 1965, he began progress of choice theme park, Disney World, the heart of which was to be a further type of city, the “Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow” (EPCOT). Disney was a oppressive smoker throughout his spirit and died of lung cancer in December 1966 in the past either the park or the EPCOT project were completed.

Disney was a shy, self-deprecating and insecure man in private but adopted a hot and outgoing public persona. He had tall standards and high expectations of those past whom he worked. Although there have been accusations that he was racist or anti-Semitic, they have been contradicted by many who knew him. His reputation misrepresented in the years after his death, from a purveyor of homely patriotic values to a representative of American imperialism. He nevertheless remains an important figure in the history of freshness and in the cultural chronicles of the United States, where he is considered a national cultural icon. His film feint continues to be shown and adapted; his namesake studio and company maintain high standards in their production of popular entertainment, and the Disney theme parks have grown in size and number to attract visitors in several countries.
