You may recognize him for being the creator of Mickey Mouse. I hope you learn as much from this paper as I did writing it.
Born in 1901, Walt Disney was a man of many things-- a perfectionist, an entrepreneur, cartoonist, voice actor, and film producer. He managed to go from being a man who was bankrupt to being a famed multi-millionaire and becoming an icon for many cartoonists and animators. Though, none of this would have come to be without his brother Roy, who partnered with him and helped him make many of his decisions. Together, these once poor brothers came together and formed the Walt Disney Company and later, Disneyland. Starting in the 20s, these brothers formed their soon to be career plan and began drawing cartoons-- one of the most famous was a mouse; Mickey Mouse.
Walt Disney. You’ve probably heard of him. Born in Chicago on December 5 of 1901 he was a film producer, a magazine magnate, the co-founder of the Walt Disney Company, as well as an iconic figure of Twentieth Century media and entertainment industry.

Walt Disney has many names; Mr. Disney, Mickey Mouse, even Uncle Walt. The most commonly known nickname is, 'the man behind the magic'. This is a very deserving name, as everything he touched, he turned into a fantasy. Disney turned war into a children's cartoon, and an empty lot into a magical kingdom. This magical kingdom was Walt's lifetime goal, a fantasy which even he didn't always see as a reality.

The author Neal Gabler, shows us what Walt Disney’s life was like as a child living on a farm in Missouri, the temper of his father and his resentment toward the dreams that young Walt Disney had to be an artist, but his determination was shown by drawing on anything that he could find since paper was scarce on the farm. He drew on toilet paper, walls, and even the side of their white house with black tar which he was severely punished for by his father. When he became a young adult, he left home to pursue his dreams of becoming an artist.

He learned how cartoons were made by cutting out paper figures and moving them under the camera and photographed on frame at a
In 1919, the dream to become a professional artist prevailed; this caused Walt to relocate to Kansas City to start his career as an artist. Having the talent of a graphic designer, Walt lacked what was necessary to create satirical newspaper cartoons. Therefore, the attempt in Kansas City came to an end do to the unsuccessful event that he had. Walt’s hopes and dream did not stop there. Disney struggled for eight years in and out of jobs but remained hopeful through his times of struggles of failed ideas.
Walt Disney is best known for an extremely creative entrepreneur. Besides being an illustrator and an animator, Disney was always looking for way to reinvent the entertainment industry and step out of ordinary. In 1927 Disney began looking for new approaches to his cartoons, this is when Mickey Mouse was born.

Walt Disney and those employed under him were without a doubt the biggest contributors to the revolutionary age of ingenuity in the field of animation during the 1930s, referred to as the “Golden Age of Animation”. The source of this ingenuity probably stems from Disney’s drive and dedication, as well as “his willingness to sacrifice immediate profits to the long range benefits of increased excellence” (Solomon 41). He was discontent with the fact that animation being currently released was mediocre at best because of time and money constraints. He found himself breaking off multiple partnerships as he found these aspects of the animation industry incredibly limiting, and formed his own animation studio, where he found the greatest successes

He immediately got in trouble but he would never forget the bright personality of the mouse later to have the name of Mickey.
