my life would be boring if Disney never happened
birdwell2427 I would never wanted to be a artist without Walt Disney
Birdwell2427 everybody's life would be!
Andre I Am and you’re here because...
Andre I Am whatever hater
@Andre I Am and how exactly would your life be better if disney did not exist?
Whatever age, country, education, backgroynd, everyone has seen a disney movie and have that one fond memory revolving around it. Thank You Walt for blessing us with your ideas and making the world more bearable with your magic
Lies again? What True Anal USD SGD
_"I only hope that we never lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse."_ *- Walt Disney*
*mouses
@@terminalmontageness6292 *mice
Hey, that could also be a summary of avengers endgame😂😂what if, what if they were paying homage and we never noticed?? Nah i'm reaching
It was all started by a mous- I mean rabbit
Actually, that's not right. It started with a rabbit, Oswald. Later, Oswald was stolen by producer Mintz. Walt Disney did not have its copyrights in order. He learned a wise lesson from that. From then on, everything was copyrighted. Mickey was Oswald with round ears instead of elongated ears. But it really started with Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. A mega success that made Walt Disney rich and allowed him to build his beautiful studio. Snow White, still my favorite Walt Disney movie. The best.
I saw the movie of his history. Boy he had it hard. He may have been a dreamer, but he started out as a lousy business man. It’s amazing how he ended up creating the greatest entertainment empire of all time.
Let's be real, that happened because of Roy. Roy was the business mind, and every time the company was in the black Walt would come up with a crazy idea like "I want to make a feature length animated picture", or "I want to invent theme parks".
Couldn't agree more👌👍👍👍👍👍😀
which movie?
@@Thequeenoflosthearts yeah
walt disney always stayded a lousy bussiness man. he was an artist. his brother roy was the businessman
Don’t be sad because he died. Be happy because he was born😢
I always looked up to Walt Disney and I hope to always continue.
Walt Disney was an inspiration. But he was still just human (imperfect).
His work wasn't imperfect just himself the human but not his work
@@stevenjones4059 That's what I was referring to.
Walt Was a Genius
Walt Disney Was The Man That Brought Disney To Life For Kids And Everyone Around The World
@Kemal there is in Disney world, but that’s far away
Disney sure had the heart of a hero. He had courage and he never gave up on making happiness happen for kids around the world! Thank you for uploading this. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, MsMojo! ; )
I love Disney and when I saw the documentary about his life, made me love him even more. No one is perfect but he strived to bring happiness and positivity to children and the world. Good man in my book. ❤️❤️❤️
@@s-nih That word is the arch-enemy of Political Correctness!
He was racist
@@acatthatisjustchillingnowi626 there's no proof of that.
@@celiabrown153it’s safe to assume he is
@@acatthatisjustchillingnowi626 I would have to disagree.
Walt Disney just wanted to create a magic wonderland to bring everything together. I am curious as to if he ever met the creator of Peter Pan James Matthew Barrie. There was a duality within Walt Disney himself.
I highly doubt it & considering Peter Pan was a major huge horror story I doubt that the author would give someone the rights to make his horror story into a children movie ?
Walt Disney fascinates me as a person, because he WAS a ruthless, obsessive businessman and unforgiving taskmaster, and at the same time he was sincerely devoted to the movies he made and the artists he sheperded. He became so ruthless largely because he truly wanted his work and its achievements to be preserved and appreciated. Those two sides should be incompatible, but they were both in him.
He was definitely not a ruthless businessman. He was an artist and a storyteller.
It was interesting to hear how ionic Disney films like Fantasia, Pinocho, Bambi, etc didn’t do well. How ever time has done well for them. Disney has passion and drive. No one can take away from the impact he had on American culture and the world.
Yeah, I was surprised by those box office revelations too.
No but we can try
You know it is weird to think that Mickey will be 100 years old in nine years... thank you so much for this amazing cartoon world Walt Disney.
Get your facts straight - Walt passed away December 15, 1966, NOT November 30th.
Elizabeth Stevens November the 30th is just a mistake. The talking person who said November the 30th instead of December the 15th can apologise though.
That's right! I HATE it when people don't get their facts straight!
Well, now I feel Stupid for going along with it
Bookworm 707 I aggre
Your right 🤣 lol
I wish y'all would have mentioned the fact that his father beat him all the time. Lily said up until the end of his life he'd still have nightmares about missing one of the houses on his paper route, because that always ended up in a beating. It's why Roy left home as soon as he possibly could. It didn't stop until Walt was 14. Elias took him down to the basement for a beating, and Walt caught Elias's wrist, telling him, "You will never beat me again."
Never heard that story before
@@justint8851 I wrote a couple papers on Walt's life between high school and college. I don't remember _which_ biographical book that story was in (I've read several over the course of researching those papers) but that's where I got it from.
@@kriscynical oh interesting what else did you learn about him
I’ve been a big fan of his work since I was a kid. If he didn’t make my childhood, I wouldn’t have loved Disney movies
My biggest inspiration for animation ❤
My Grandfather thinks that Walt would be rolling in his grave if he saw his company now. Probably right.
He's absolutely right no probably about it
If it weren't for Mickey Mouse, I might've never learned about Walt Disney, and I might've never became an pixel artist or a cartoon artist. Walt Disney has been one of many inspirations for me
That’s not true! He died on December 15th 1966 which was the same day that Verna Felton (the voice of The Fairy Godmother, Flora from Sleeping Beauty, and Aunt Sarah from Lady and the Tramp) and it was ten days after his 65th birthday.
Actually she died on December 14th.
If I could go back in time, I’d try to get to him before he started smoking and warn him so he could live longer. I wonder what life would’ve been like if Walt Disney didn’t die. What would he of thought of the Disney renaissance movies.
We would never be anything without Disney ❤
Rest in powerful peace Walter Elias Disney 🙏 5 December 1901 ~ 15 December 1966⚘
No wonder why Disney banned any smoke reference in their future projects.
I call that sensitivity training and cigars are not Marlboro products.
@@sephangelo4603 What did you mean ?
"When I was kid Walt Disney was a like my god." - Stan Lee
Well I feel bad to see kids wanting 2D movies from Disney but now there is no more now, just 3d Disney movies, remakes, movies along with Pixar and shorts. I think kids who loved Disney can still remember its company that was named after the real man who wanted to deliver happiness to everyone, including us.
Walt Disney is someone i look up I always had and wean i grow up I will work at Disneyland and live my big dream and try to get as close to him as I can
If Walt Disney saw how far the Disney company has gone, he would be proud
He would, but also be disappointed that it became a Monopoly and CGI animation company
@@ButtersMiiCharacter He'd be disappointed in how it fell from grace that's a undisputed fact
Walt would be furious if he found out that his company turned to shit. Furious if he found out that his company was brainwashing kids with woke agendas pulled out of their asses. Modern Disney would suffer the wrath of Walt for opening the theme park during a pandemic. And they should, because modern Disney doesn't care about human lives or quality.
I Don’t Know If Walt Disney Would Like What The Company Has Become
At least he pretty much does see it all through up from Heaven that I’m sure Walt is very proud right now being a Legend without him we be nothing & there wouldn’t have been all kinds Disney Shows & Movies & even Pixar Movies too as well like we all got now because of Walt God Bless the Man who is truly Legendary who deserves better🙏💯
Merry Christmas from Thailand!
Merry Christmas from California!
Walt died on December 15 not November 30
Walt Disney's story is inspirational then the end comes...
Hard to believe I’ll be going to Disneyland in California in June of 2020 to celebrate my high school graduation
😀 That's so cool! 👍Have fun!
Marlon Moncrieffe thanks
Um well this didn't age well
@@arianaperez8516 HAHAHAHA
To this day I still remember the score from Fantasia. Disney and others introduce millions of children to great classical music that they other wise would not have heard.
Rest In Peace Walt Disney ❤
Merry Christmas MsMojo! 🎄
I watch this scene 3:39 in the starting of almost every single animated movie by Disney!
Very nice and inspirational. Some facts may have been iffy but the heart was in the right place.
Merry Christmas Everyone And I hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas!
I got an iPhone XR
@@pandaduos871 nice! I got art supplies! Hope you like you're IPhone XR !
Thanks bunny! 🐇 You're very sweet. Hope you had a great Christmas :)
@@s-nih you too!
Disney movies is not just movies for kids its a motivational movies.... (I cant list down every thing because theres a lot)
MsMojo I like and love both Pinocchio (Wednesday, February 7, 1940) and Fantasia (Wednesday, November 13, 1940) equally.
What an inspiring story! ❤️
Thank you so much for Walt Disney bring all the classics movies and all the classics tv bring some enjoy to each generation to generations to come now have a new generation of kids come to see All the tv shows and the movie
He was a good man
So Walt did The Impossible by making Kids dreams come true and that includes Animation coming to life
Walter was a king of elemental and artful science and deserves a galactic star of fame
I don't care what people say about this man, he was amazing and a visionary. It is not his fault Disney is what it is today. If you go see footage of the opening year of Disney he has people from every background represented. Now people point and go that was so racist!! There's actual interviews of him out there talking about how we all need to come together and we shouldn't be judging people, he was not evil. People that have accomplished nothing going online and trying to ruin this man's legacy. Breaks my heart. Well, maybe not that dramatic LOL. But it sucks
Geez it’s been years since I’ve been to DisneyLand would love to go again :D
Then Disney opened the goddamn theme park during a pandemic, giving zero Fs about their employees pleas and human lives.
If his company bought Allspark Pictures, Walt himself could not be any prouder
Very very great fun list I like it a lot and a lot of fun too great job mis mojo one of my very favorite list ever wait Disney is inspiring for all of us
May his soul rest in peace
One man had a vision...
Kansas City native here, love the legacy he left but not what Disney as a corporation has become.
Agreed! Modern Disney sucks and Disney nowadays do not care about quality.
Biggest genius of all time
I love my old Disney art from a long 🎉lost uncle ❤
10:17-10:23 like some of the comments have said, he died on December 15 ,1966. Aside from that great video
No Walt Disney = No Mickey Mouse
Forgot to point out that Disney stole Mickey Mouse from his friend and blacklisted the actor behind Snow White.
I get a gefilte fish stench from your post
The fact that Disney stole Mickey Mouse from Iwerks kinda reminds me of Joey Drew stealing Bendy from Henry in BATIM (as evidenced by an audio recording that Henry made referencing that he had a new character aka Bendy that everyone will love, a rejected concept art of the original Bendy design, and a secret message on Henry’s desk that says “He was born here” and a secret message in the path of The Demon that says “HIS dream, MY effort”) but maybe that’s just me😅😅😅😅
He didn't steal Mickey Mouse. Ub Iwerks left. He left Mickey And since Walt Disney owned the studio he owned the rights. But Ub Iwerks came back.
No he didn't steal Mickey Mouse. He created Mickey Mouse. He had the idea. You have been listening to too much propaganda.
Ub Iwerks free Mickey Mouse after Walt Disney asked him too. And Walt Disney have Mickey Mouse his voice and Walt's wife Lillian have Mickey his name
Thank you so much
This all started as just a dream and a mouse
F Is my first letter it also started with a human called Alice, peg leg Pete and Oswald the lucky rabbit.
Awesome video, I love Disney.
Show yourself
I thought she did
Jack Monday lolll it’s from frozen 2
Such a great character
10:20 He did not die on November 30th 1966, he died on December 15th 1966 due to lung cancer.
GeorgiaRattlesnake he actually died (more accurately) of acute circulatory failure according to my hand me down book called the book of lies. He died on December the 15th 1966 and got cremated.
Slapstick Genius My bad, but he did die of that caused by Lung Cancer... listen I don’t want trouble.
Okay.
I love this video. But, Walt died December 15, 1966 not November 30, 1966!!!
Did anyone else notice Alladin's lamp on top of the marquee for Fantasia?
My knowledge of Disney is my super power when I was in high school and the popular kids needed some Disney info I was like a god to them
walt disney did NOT die on november 30. walt disney died on december 15 1966. just 10 days after his 65th birthday on december 5
Old disney movies are the best. Actually peg leg pete is the first Disney character.
He's the first non-Disney character that is also a Disney character, kind of complicated, but no technically.
Disney brightest time was the 90s
Agreed! Nowadays, Disney is ruining Star Wars while cashing in on superheroes and infecting young minds with woke ideals. They don't care about cartoons or quality at all.
@@sephangelo4603 it is weird that Simpsons and Star wars are owned by Disney
@@sephangelo4603 They are basically disrespecting their name. If he was alive, would make sure his company would be then most good and just( of course not perfect) of all and not messing with other and continue the legend.
Love he movies and songs❤❤❤
Uh, Walt Disney died on December 15th, 1966 at 65 years old.
I agree with you!
Walt Disney was just as human as the rest of us.
THX Walt RIP and thx for UP
I love Walt Disney
personaly I never saw song of the south as offensive i saw it as movie that means well for animation and live action getting its actors an award
thanx for the story now can you tell us about the true story of the Disney renaissance? Started with the success of the little mermaid?
I love walt disney my favorite ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹🌹
I sincerely remember Walt dying on December 15th 1966 cause that’s my birthday and that was always a fun fact I liked to tell people 👀👀👀
Sorry mojo but you weren’t kind to Walt Disney at all.the guy is a legend
Snow White is my fave 😍😍
I really want to get Disney+ now
Stick to Blu-ray, because Disney+ is shit. No streaming service will ever give you true 1080p, plus titles can leave streaming services. Legal streaming is nothing more but a collection of paid demos. It is basically the same as trialware.
Please get it
@@sephangelo4603 some of us don't have Blu Ray's!!!
I really love walt disney
Did you know that Walt wasn't toonkeen about Sequels to Disney Movies? The exact Opposite of Bob Iger,who has a fetish for Sequels and LiveAction Remakes.
Do Jim Henson next, please!
Walt Disney died on December 15th 1966, not November 30th....
Disney my favourite
You got the wrong death date.. he died on December 15, 1966
What do you mean by "He even tried to forge his way into the army,"? How do you forge yourself into the military?
Breezy He forged his age as being older than he was in order to enter the army
@@mariadt63 ohhhh. Thanks!
He got his mother's permission to legally change his name to join the military
Fun fact to me: Walt Disney is the god of magic
Its sad how disney (the company) is now prioritising politics rather than entertainment
pretty good bio. But you screwed up on his date of death. It was December 15th 1966.
En av mina favoriter är det med Disney kram pia
I wish he was alive to the brilliant new movies and games of his company and where they got to in 2021 and i guess the future is even more brilliant, what a depressing world without Disney like, i wish he can watch Rapunzel, Frozen, Raya, Toy story, Kingdom hearts, all the movies the company releases are all trends ever since
He stole the fairy tales through Fairyland in Oakland California. I worked there as a landscaper for a few years. He toured the world's fairs but he got into fantasy. He stole the director of Fairyland literally.
Disney= my childhood
I love walt disney it is my life
Walt would probably had a stroke at Disney's state now
I'm glad we have Disney+
Happy 99th anniversary to Disney
Visiting this video after the "Wish" movie. A rise and a fall I say.
Can you make a video soon if Walt Disney would be proud of his company today pros and cons
