WAL DISNEY
Walt Disney was born in Chicago at the end of 1901 and very soon showed an interest in the art of drawing. He attended art classes as a child and worked as a commercial illustrator from the age of eighteen. He moved to California in the early 1920s and founded the Disney Brothers Studio there with his brother Roy. Together with Ub Iwerks, Walt created the character of Mickey Mouse in 1928, his first great success and which he himself initially voiced. With the growth of his animation studio, he introduced advances such as synchronized sound, three-way Technicolor, animated feature films, and technical developments in cameras. The results can be seen in films such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Pinocchio and Fantasia (both 1940), Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942), all of which fostered the development of animated cinema. After World War II (1939-1945) the Disney studio produced new animated and live-action films, a case of success
