walt disney
the founder
was an American entrepreneur, animator, voice actor and film producer. A pioneer of the American animation industry, he introduced several developments in the production of cartoons. As a film producer, Disney holds the record for most Academy Awards earned by an individual, having won 22 Oscars from 59 nominations. He was presented with two Golden Globe Special Achievement Awards and an Emmy Award, among other honors. Several of his films are included in the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress.
Disney developed an early interest in drawing. He took art classes as a boy and got a job as a commercial illustrator at the age of 18. He moved to California in the early 1920s and set up the Disney Brothers Studio with his brother Roy. With Ub Iwerks, Walt developed the character Mickey Mouse in 1928, his first highly popular success; he also provided the voice for his creation in the early years. As the studio grew, Disney became more adventurous, introducing synchronized sound, full-color three-strip Technicolor, feature-length cartoons and technical developments in cameras. The results, seen in features such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937), Fantasia, Pinocchio (both 1940), Dumbo (1941) and Bambi (1942), furthered the development of animated film. New animated and live-action films followed after World War II, including the critically successful Cinderella (1950) and Mary Poppins (1964), the latter of which received five Academy Awards.

thenIn 1937, the Walt Disney Studios released its first fully animated feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and pioneered a new form of family entertainment. More than seven decades later, Walt Disney Animation Studios continues to honor its heritage through animated films that combine beautiful artistry, masterful storytelling and ground-breaking technology.
The Disney roster of cartoon characters continued to grow with the addition of Donald Duck, Goofy and others in a spinoff series, which proved equally successful. But, Disney wanted to keep expanding. In 1934, against the advice of his family and colleagues, he decided to create a full-length animated film based on Snow White. After three years and large loans from the Bank of America, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs premiered to a standing ovation. It became the most successful motion picture of 1938, grossing today’s equivalent of $98 million.
The Disney studio continued to expand, producing such animated classics as Pinocchio, Bambi, and Dumbo. During WWII, it was also commissioned to created instructional films for the military. It wasn’t until the late-1940s that the studio would again branch out in a major way. It began creating live action films such as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Parent Trap, which proved to be major successes. |
nowAnimation and simulation brings life to the characters. Everything from background characters to hair on the monsters will move naturally, as if they were real. Textures and colors are also added to make everything pop.
Lighting is the final and arguably the most crucial step. The way a scene is lit will bring all of the elements in the scene together and help them to function naturally together. It is a complicated process, with many scenes of “Monsters University” having more than a dozen lights. After what we see in the final production, it’s hard to believe that in the digital world we live in, Pixar still begins with a simple sketch. But, perhaps the biggest change for the company came after visiting a children’s theme park in Oakland, California, when Disney began to sketch his own plans for an amusement park to be called Disneyland. Five years in the making, Disney formed WED Enterprises to create the park in Anaheim and it opened on July 18, 1955. In 1964, Disney decided to create Disney World, a similar, but larger and more elaborate version of Disneyland in Florida. Both ventures would prove to be extremely successful, becoming two of the largest theme park resorts in the world. The Disney theme park has since also become an international phenomena, with ones in Tokyo, France and Hong Kong. The theme parks have since also become successful resorts and an associated cruise line has been launched.
Disney died of lung cancer in 1966 but not before creating one of the most successful billion dollar companies and entertaining millions of children and adults alike around the world. |
