Walt Disney was born in 1901 in Chicago, but soon moved to a small farm near
Marceline, Missouri. From this rural and rather humble beginning, he later became one of
the most famous and beloved motion-picture producers in history. Although he died in 1966,
his name and artistic legacy continue to influence the lives of millions of people throughout
the world.
After several years of barely making ends meet as a cartoon artist operating from his
Los Angeles garage, Disney had his first success in 1928, with his release of a Mickey
Mouse cartoon. Throughout the next decade, he continued to produce a number of cartoons,
and develop more of his highly profitable and enduring creations, such as Donald Duck and
Pluto. In the late 1930s, he issued a full-length cartoon film. Snow White became an instant
commercial and critical success. This was only the first of many films, both animated and
not, produced by Disney and his studio.
But as renowned as Disney name is for cartoons and movies, it is probably best
known for a string of spectacular amusement and theme parks. Starting with California’s
Disneyland in 1955 and culminating with the fantastically successful Disney World and
EPCOT Center in Florida, Disney became a household name. In recent years, the theme park
concept became international, with openings in Tokyo and Paris. With the continuing
success of Disney, the creation of future theme park is under discussion.
