Walt Disney

        

“All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all the troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.” Walt Disney was born December 5, 1901 and died December 15, 1966 at the age of 65 years old in California. Walt Disney is the one who created all the Disney movies. Walt Disney’s mom was a nun and his dad killed himself. Walt Disney was responsible for dozens of newspaper articles that document Walt's political activities and other events as they were seen at that time, as well as the many FBI internal memos on Walt and the Studio. Well he was the big creator that made Disney movies for all the boys and girls that like watching TV.

              Disney is mostly famous for his influence in the field of entertainment during the 20th century. As the co-founder (with his brother Roy O. Disney) of Walt Disney Productions, Disney became one of the best-known motion picture producers in the world. Walt Disney had long been interested in drawing, taking some art classes as a teen and providing political cartoons for his high school's newspaper. He wrote two quotes that are representing achieving your goals. “Somehow I can't believe that there are any heights that can't be scaled by a man who knows the secrets of making dreams come true. This special secret, it seems to me, can be summarized in four C s. They are curiosity, confidence, courage, and constancy.” Another quote he said means I want people to explore another world where all yours dreams come true. “I don't want the public to see the world they live in while they're in the Park (Disneyland). I want to feel they're in another world.”

Walt Disney made the first animation film but not the first amusement park. He impacted the world because he was the one who made all the Disney characters and got all kids to be happy by watching Disney Channel." You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world, but it requires people to make the dream a reality.” That is another quote he said that meant if u dream it you could make it happened. Here is another quote that he said when he first started to get into animation. “The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.”

Walt Disney was one of the great pioneers of filmmaking and the creator of several classic films, most notably his feature-length animated films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and Pinocchio. Disney, h grew up almost without a childhood, found a way to amuse himself as an adult by making cartoons and filling them with characters like Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck. Creator of cartoons, live-action movies, theme parks, and television programs for the whole family, Disney introduced wholesome family entertainment on a world scale, and was one of the major entertainment forces of the twentieth century. Here are some quotes that Walt Disney said himself. “He [Mickey Mouse] popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.” Another one he said was about you can follow your dreams and they will come true. “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”

If I ever want pursue my dreams and have all of them come true, all I need to do is fall asleep. When Walt Disney was little he was interested in animation that he was very good at and that’s how his dream came true by working in Disneyland. I think Walt Disney was amazing because he was the one who made all the Disney characters and got kids to watch what he created. Mostly the whole United States started watching TV because of Walt Disney, himself.
