Chan Kam Him Professor Teresa Antonia Dey F/TV 75G 14 June 2017 Walt Disney Walt Disney was one of the most important animators in the history of animation. His influence on the animation industry is huge and had created the most famous animation studio of all time.

There is no doubt that he is one of the best. And his studio remains as one of the top studios worldwide and continues to influence the world of animation.

Walter Elias Disney was always seen as a very imaginative and outgoing person at any point in his life. Walt loved life and would make appearances at Disneyland all the time to make sure employees were being kind and courteous to the guests while managing to talk and ride rides with children that looked up to him.

I’m sure some of you dressed up as princesses, pretended to duel each other as pirates, or played make believe. Even after Walt’s death, his company is still producing animated and live-action films and overseeing the still-growing empire. Today’s children are evidence of a lasting legacy through his parks, movies, and merchandise.

Walt Disney was filled with motivation. “As a child, Walt had big dreams, and planned on pursuing them.” (Ford, Carin T; page 16) He would always want to go above and beyond. “Walt never stopped at average.

Disney did not grow up as prosperous as others and his childhood was not so evident nor boisterous. Therefore, as an adolescent Disney knew he was very artistic, that he began selling artwork to close family and friends. In Disney’s high school years he attended Mckinley high ,where he attained drawing and photography classes (“Walt Disney Biography”1). He always knew he had it in him to continue school and attend art classes, this is where his future will began. Later around 1919 Walt’s brother Roy got him a job at the Pesman-Rubin Art Studio, where he evoked

Animation however was just the beginning for Disney. He also had a love for engineering. Disney combined his love for engineering and imagination, and decided to call himself an “imagineer” (Dehrer 37).

For example, Bryman states that, “...both Fantasia and Pinnochio performed poorly at the box office...and the response to Bambi was disappointing” (pg 9-11). I find it fascinating that Walt’s first movie did extremely well, but most of the others flopped.
