An animated Biography of the inspiring Walt Disney
Walt Disney was a dreamer.
The difference to many is he set out to make his dreams come true.
And we in turn can enjoy many of them on the silver screen, in books, comics and theme parks around the world.
As a young boy, Walt Disney already loved to draw.
He got his first job as an illustrator drawing the neighborhood doctors horse.
He was determined to improve, practicing before school and after work every day.
Walt often went out to the railroad to draw the trains. This passion would later be reflected in Disney's theme Parks
During World War One he joined the Red Cross he continued doing illustrations for a military newspaper and also made pictures on the side of the ambulance he drove.
When he returned he worked for several different companies simultaneously in the beginning.
He would draw comics, do writing assignments, and started studying animation together with his friend, Ub Iwerks, another legend.

In July of 1923 he made the move to Hollywood. There he got a start by selling a cartoon titled Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland.
With his brother, Roy, he started the Disney Brothers Studio to produce the films that had been contracted by Charles Mintz.
They hired Lillian Bounds an ink artist, she and Walt later married.
The Disney Studio continued to produce the Alice in Wonderland cartoons even though Walt had grown tired of the series.
The tensions between him and Charles Mintz caused him to lose one of his earliest characters, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit.
This defeat instilled in Walt an even bigger inspiration.
In that same year he created a character that is known worldwide Mickey Mouse.
As Walt himself put it, “…it all started with a mouse.”
And did it start. For decades following Mickey Mouse’s creation there were dozens of iconic characters in multiple shorts and later full length feature films.
Walt mentioned, “If you can dream it you can do it.”
More and more characters came out, several of the iconic Disney characters even helping raise money in World War II.
In 1950, Walt would have another grand idea.
People were passionate about his films and curious about visiting his studio. However, there wasn’t room in the studio so he began to consider creating a theme park.
He wanted it to be different. Theme parks at the time were often more like carnivals, impermanent, dirty, and not always a place for parents and children. He decided to purchase property in a California Orange Grove.
It was far from the studios so he created a new arm of his company, the now famous Disney Imagineering.
To fund the development he started a series of shows on ABC, a new network and today a Disney Company.
Walt’s passion for American history would come to life on Main Street, U.S.A..
Disneyland opened on Sunday, July 17, 1955. Over 200,000 people showed up.
And this even though it was an invitation only event!
His fans were creative too.
People had fabricated tickets, and many climbed over the fence.
There were twenty attractions. One of Walt’s favorites was the narrow gauge railroad linking all of the lands together.
By the end of the year, Disneyland had received over 3 million visitors.
Walt began expanding even beyond films, TV, and theme parks.
He created one of the first 360 Degree Movies during a 1959 Exhibition in Russia.
Walt was also a conservationist. He cared about animals and nature. He created several documentary films, the while not always accurate, inspired a generation of young people to look more closely at nature and science.
It’s a Small World debuted at the 1964 New York World’s Fair.
He announced plans for a Disney World in Florida. He tagged the idea, “the Florida Project”.
Disney World could be a much more elaborate version of Disneyland. Walt Disney had originally envisioned it to be a city, a self sustaining community of the future.
Sadly, Walt would not get to see Disney World come to light. He passed away in December of that year.
Walt was an inspiration to many creatives the world over. His Walt Disney Company gave opportunities to generations of entertainers and artists. The Parks, see millions of visitors every year. His company that started with nothing more than an idea and a love of drawing has become a juggernaut in the film industry and has touched the lives of millions of people all around the world. To quote Walt himself, “When you’re curious, you find lots of interesting things to do.”
“It’s kind of fun to do the impossible.”

This man inspired me to be an animator it’s so weird to think that someone who’s reading this might become the next Walt Disney
I am also studying animation 👍
Let's hope whoever is reading this - Achieves Greatness in the Future if they continue animation!
Bruh imagine how different life would be on Earth if Walt Disney was never born. What a legend he is
It wouldn't change much
If he didnt come up with the ideas he had in mind, someone else would. I heard that paradox from somewhere.
@@qad951 I mean his animations/films did help inspire people to animate their own films/cartoons
@@anlexaify there is always someone else but it was Walt who did so let’s appreciate that.
Well its sad what disney has become now
This man inspired me to do art and maybe in the future I might have a cartoon company
WooooooooooooW
@@stranger..things.edits1168 thanks I stopped doing art now I'm astronomer
Who liked my comment
Right now there are tons of cash-strapped independent animators making animated short movies in their basements or their garages just to get them on KZhead. And those people have more in common with Walt Disney when he started than the whole Disney company does today.
We've to thank Walt for making us believe that there is still magic left in the world ❤️
The legend, thanks creating Disney Mr. Walt❤
Tysm for this video! I'm doing a presentation on Walt Disney for school - and I wanted to make it fun + educational. This is the perfect video to include! The animations are so cute + the voice is amazing + the background music is very calming. I'm so grateful!!
Good luck with the presentation and thank you for the kind words.
What a legend!

The story of my hero
Time is really money ❤
i have a question: if he was 18 when he had his first job as an illustrator(so 1919), and he had to take a break from his job to help in ww1 (witch ended in november 1918)- how is that possible?
Hi, he was 5, not 18 when he took his first "job" to draw the neighbors horse.
inspirationX You said, he got his first job as an illustrator at age 18
yea u did
@@jaxbii He got his first job at 18, and was 5 when he drew the neighbors horse
@@jeffalson9785 ohh okay

Great visionary in FAMILY entertainment business!
"Disneyland is your land." - Walt Disney
Just FYI, Walt did not say “If you can dream it, you can do it.” That was written for Horizons at Epcot.
Little did he know that one day his name would be synonymous with destroying a beloved science fiction film franchise. Dream big kids.
I love this video
My question is if Disneyland opened in 1955 and the movie Sleeping Beauty came out in 1959, then how could the have an attraction at the park related to a movie that didn't exist yet?
Hi, thank you for your question. It's my understanding that the sleeping beauty castle's inspiration was Castle Neuschwanstein and the original Story which Walt Disney adapted into a Movie in 1959. His was actually the third Movie adaptation of the Sleeping Beauty Fairytale : en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeping_Beauty#Adaptations
KingJibblidibbliesTheSecond * In addition, it takes years for Disney animations to reach our screens so they could have already been working on sleeping beauty
Yes, and they were kind of using the castle to help promote the movie.
I so many to ask myself my question about about it Walt Disney how is great he is
even though snow hit actually came in 1965, he is still right
Who else is here because it’s the video our teacher showed us for a writing task in class?
Lol
Me
A biography lol ;-;
Thank you so much this helped with my homework!
Same
Are you here

i think this could help anyone at any time when try to study like me
R.I.P. the g.o.a.t. Walt Disney😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😢😢😢😢😭😭😭
The Simpsons were 100% right with the Itchy & Scratchy Land suggestion that he made a film in 1938 called "Nazi Supermen Are Our Superiors." This came in the form of having Leni Riefenstahl tour his studio in 1938 when she was promoting her Nazi olympic film Olympia. In addition, I struggle with believing Walt was a faithful husband. The Sound of Music, which saw Julie Andrews defect to 20th Century Fox just a year after Mary Poppins, makes LBJ's true relationship with Walt too questionable as well.
Was today I made a speak in my class about Walt Disney
wonderful, I hope it went well!
same
Yeah Me Too
Interesting I think You did it great 👍😁
So DTVA was totally founded and made on Walt's dying wish, right?
I'm pretty sure Steamboat Willy wasn't the first cartoon with sound, getcha facts straight. The first cartoon with sound was "'Ko-Ko' Song Car-tunes" in 1924, by Max Fleischer.
I think they meant that it was the first Disney sounded cartoon.
@@stageofsekai maybe but it was max fleischer to be the first ome to create animation as a whole
Steamboat was the first to have music and voiced cartoons. Walt Disney was Mickey Mouse voice.
Yeah, but the sound wasn't perfectly synchronized with the on-screen action in the Fleischer cartoon. In "Steamboat Willie", it was.
Thankyou for this video..
Thank you for watching!
Yeah, incredible video
hi
i wish this had captions. 😅 then i dont have to revise the video 1000000 times. 😢I have to write an essay 😭😭😭😭😭😭😫

What about his dark side?
I looked this up because my grandpa told me i am related to him
Thank you for the info.
flip the frog was the first sound cartoon. sad that ub iwerks wasnt even in this video when he was a large part of walt disney's story
UB Iwerks was in this video 1:14
@@lenie5402 my bad, but he was just mentionned
Wouldn't he had been dead in 2015 cuz he was born 1901
Did you know he painted Abraham Lincoln on his house with tar?
I didn't, what an interesting little fact! Thank you for sharing!
Actually he painted pictures of the farm animals that they had on the side of the barn, not Lincoln.

Hold on... This could be misleading to viewers, since you said "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland", wrote "Alice in Wonderland" and pointed to a poster used for the 1952 Technicolor Alice in Wonderland. This might make some people think that THAT Alice is the one he was making before Mickey, which would be all wrong. I think you should have used an image taken from the semi-live action "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" instead of the Technicolor FULLY animated version.
He was working for a company when doing that since they said the people didn’t give him credit so he quit and the mouse was born
wait till the morning is over for a while and i’ll was my time for the time i i is yydhgggggggggwwgwgywyywyywyyywywywwywgyywywyyyyyzgzgzg yasir was an afternoon night amp fun amp great day to come home and work with

No Walts early cartoons wasn't called Alice in Wonderland its called the Alice Comedies. Alice in Wonderland is a movie and a timeless classic
Nick Beast so much is wrong in this video
Walt and Roy Disney actually created Oswald the Lucky Rabbit?
Yes indeed!
Jonathan Hartfield some mark zuckerburg 1900s type ting
I love that rabbit
Walt Disney he left the company and they keep the character
Why did quit KZhead?

No, de hecho yo quise saber de Walt 😆 luego de ver sus primeros cartoons De donde eres? 😮
Still getting drunk and high to his honor and memory in August 2020!!!!!!!

Alguien en español ?
Hey guys
He could actualy cancel suicide mickey mouse
Opt
You need more subs. Just like me.
An Obstruction to higher capabilities of the Mind, such as Fantasy, Imagination- one should avoid all cartoon art... Also, the modern movies with synthetic effects, such as fantastic animals. Especially forbidden is representation of humans with a distorted form. Charlie Brown comics, outwardly harmless, innocuous- the creator-purveyor went to unfathomable Punishment...!
He is my idol because he was an artist and I'm also a artist❤
get your facts right
Where the subtitle😭
Someone else is here for homework 🤔
I wonder if Disney was practicing child grooming even back then...
Bruh
There were far less than 200 Thousand visitors on Opening Day, it was more like 20-30 Thousand. far more than were invited.
