Walt Disney
Co-founder of Walt Disney Productions
Walt Disney and his brother Roy co-founded Walt Disney Productions,
which became one of the best-known motion-picture production
companies in the world. Disney was an innovative animator and created
the cartoon character Mickey Mouse. He won 22 Academy Awards
during his lifetime, and was the founder of theme parks Disneyland and
Walt Disney World.
Early life Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born on December 5, 1901, in the Hermosa section of Chicago, Illinois. His father
was Elias Disney, an Irish-Canadian, and his mother, Flora Call Disney, was German-American. Disney was one of
five children, four boys and a girl. He lived most of his childhood in Marceline, Missouri, where he began drawing,
painting and selling pictures to neighbors and family friends. In 1911, his family moved to Kansas City, where
Disney developed a love for trains. His uncle, Mike Martin, was a train engineer who worked the route between Fort
Madison, Iowa, and Marceline. Later, Disney would work a summer job with the railroad, selling snacks and
newspapers to travelers.
Disney attended McKinley High School in Chicago, where he took drawing and photography classes and was a
contributing cartoonist for the school paper. At night, he took courses at the Chicago Art Institute. When Disney was
16, he dropped out of school to join the army but was rejected for being underage. Instead, he joined the Red Cross
and was sent to France for a year to drive an ambulance.
Career
Walt Disney started off as a farm boy drawing cartoon pictures of his neighbor's horses for fun. When he was older,
Walt tried to get a job as a newspaper cartoonist, but was unable to find one and ended up working in an art studio
where he created ads for newspapers and magazines. Eventually he grew to work on commercials, became interested
in animation, and eventually opened his own animation company.
Disney's first original character creation was Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, but it was officially owned by Universal
Pictures because he was working under contract at the time. When Walt walked out on Universal Pictures after
getting a pay cut, he needed to create a replacement, which is how Mickey Mouse came into being.
Disney was wildly successful with his animation company, but he wasn't satisfied. He was determined to make the
biggest and greatest theme park ever seen, saying to a colleague, "I want it to look like nothing else in the world."
One of the biggest entertainment moguls of all-time, with an unrelenting spirit and commitment to his vision, Disney
is undoubtedly an entrepreneurial all-star.
Disneyland
Disney's $17 million Disneyland theme park opened on July 17, 1955, with actor (and future U.S. president) Ronald
Reagan presiding over the activities on what was once an orange grove. After a tumultuous opening day involving
several mishaps (including the distribution of thousands of counterfeit invitations), the site became known as a place
where children and their families could explore, take rides and meet the Disney characters. In a very short time, the
park had increased its investment tenfold, and was entertaining tourists from around the world. With the original site
having some attendance ups and downs over the years, Disneyland has expanded its rides over time and branched out
globally with parks in Tokyo, Paris and Hong Kong, with a Shanghai location slated to open in December 2015.
Sister property California Adventure also opened in 2001.
