This is a photo of mickey mouse, one of Walt Disney's
first creations. Mickey continues to be successful
today, being the star of many movies and kid shows.
Walt Disney was born in 1901 in Hermosa, Illinois. He went through a normal childhood, in high school completing college classes at night. Although Walt did not complete high school or college, instead he dropped out to join the army. But he was declared underage, so he went on to drive an ambulance for 1 year. He then stopped and opened his own animation business called Laugh-a-grams in 1919. It was very successful until 1923, when it went bankrupt. He then moved to Hollywood with his brother, Roy. He hired an artist
named Lillian Bounds, and then married a couple years later.
He continued being very successful, opening the movies seen
above. He also was the first to use television as entertainment
for children. In 1955 he opened his theme park, Disneyland, still
successful today. He started planning for a second location, and
in 1965 he was diagnosed with lung cancer. He died December
of that year, at 65 years old. However, his brother carried on his
plans and opened “Walt Disney World” in Florida.
This is Pluto. One of the
older and a bit lesser known Disney
characters, but made by Disney and successful
