<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; text-align: justify;">Walter Elias "Walt" Disney was born December 5, 1901 in Chicago's Hermosa community area at 2156 N. Tripp Ave. and died of lung cancer in Burbank, California, on December 15, 1966. Disney was an American film producer, animator, entertainer, entrepreneur, director, screenwriter, voice actor, and philanthropist. He, along with his brother Roy O. Disney, founded Walt Disney Productions whose 2012 annual revenues exceeded $37 billion dollars.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the age of four, Walt's parents, Irish-Canadian Elias Disney and Flora Call Disney, of German and English descent, moved from Chicago, Illinois to a farm near Marceline, Missouri. It is reported that Walt became interested in drawing very early, selling his first sketches to neighbors when he was only seven years old. In Marceline, the Topeka and Santa Fe Railway ran through town and Walt's Uncle was an engineer. Walt was often seen putting his ear to the tracks in anticipation of his Uncle's train rumbling through the small community. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">At the age of nine, Walt's family moved to Kansas City and he, along with his younger sister Ruth, were enrolled in Benton Grammar School. Here Disney met Walter Pfeiffer who introduced him to the world of vaudeville and motion pictures. Additionally, the Kansas City Art Institute, founded in 1885, offered Saturday </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">children</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">courses that Walt attended on a regular basis sharpening his artistic skills. Kansas City also afforded Walt the opportunity to patronize the Electric [Amusement] Park, which was only 15 blocks from his home. The <i>Electric Park</i> of the Heim Brothers Brewery, at the time the largest brewery in the world, would have a major influence on Walt's design of Disneyland.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1917, the Disney family moved back to Chicago and Walt was enrolled at McKinley High School. Here he divided his attention between drawing and photography, while contributing to the school paper as a cartoonist. At night he attended the Academy of Fine Arts furthering his art education. During this period, the United States entered World War I and Walt, aged 16, tried to enlist into military service but was rejected because he was too young. Undeterred, Disney went to France and served as an ambulance driver for the Red Cross. He decorated the sides of his ambulance with cartoons and had his work published in Stars and Stripes.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: small;">Walt Disney, American Red Cross ambulance driver in France during WWI, and an ambulance decorated by him that was the subject of a story in <i>Stars and Stripes.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br />In 1919, Walt, briefly returned to his Chicago home but decided to move back to Kansas City to be with his banker brother Roy, who got him a job at the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio. Here he worked, with cartoonist Ubbe Iwerks, primarily as an illustrator creating ads for newspapers, magazines, and movie theaters. The following year the Pesmen-Rubin Art Studio failed and Iwerks and Disney launched a new business called, "Iwerks-Disney Commercial Artists " to make cartoons about fairy tales. He and Iwerks made about a dozen but was unable sell them forcing him to move in with Iwerks and accept a job at the Kansas City Film Ad Company. Here he made commercials based on cutout animation that were shown in theaters between movies, he was determined that that was to be his future. He would say to friends, <i>"This is the most marvelous thing that has ever happened." </i> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">He decided to become an animator gleaning most of his techniques from a book by Edwin G. Lutz, called <i>Animated Cartoons: How They Are Made, Their Origin and Development</i>. Disney opened his own animation studio recruiting, artist Fred Harman from the Kansas City Film Ad Company, as his first employee. Frank L. Newman, a popular "showman" and theater owner in the Kansas City, agreed to screen their cartoons that Disney titled "Laugh-O-Grams" at </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Newman's </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> local theater. The cartoon shorts were a hit and Disney expanded his studio, which he named Laugh-O-Grams. Two years later, his poor business practices that included the hiring of a vast number of highly paid animators resulted in </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Laugh-O-Grams </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">bankruptcy. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1923 Disney decided to leave Kansas City and move to Hollywood. Here he formed a small company and did a series of film cartoons called <i>"Alice in Cartoonland" </i></span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">featuring both Dawn O'Day and Margie Gay as Alice.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i> </i>In 1925, in need of an artist to </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ink and paint celluloid, </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Disney hired a young woman named Lillian Bounds (February 15, 1899 – December 16, 1997). This resulted in a heated courtship, the pair married that same year. Lillian was born Lillian Marie Bounds and grew up in Lapwai, Idaho, on the Nez Perce Indian Reservation where her father worked as a federal marshal and blacksmith. She was slim, thought to be very stylish and had short brown hair. In 1925, Lillian and Walt Disney married in Lewiston Idaho at the Episcopal Church of the Nativity, where uncle, who was chief of the Lewiston Fire Department gave the bride away due to her father being deceased. Together, the couple had two daughters, Diane Marie Disney, born December 18, 1933, and Sharon Mae Disney, born December 31, 1936. Sharon, unlike Diane, was adopted. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1927, Walt Disney dropped </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Alice in Cartoonland" </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">in favor of a series about </span><i style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">"Oswald the Rabbit." </i><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Oswald, that was drawn and created by Iwerks, became a popular figure for the blossoming Disney studio </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">and Walt hired back Harman, Rudolph Ising, Carman Maxwell, and Friz Freleng from Kansas City.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1928 most of Disney's artists, including Harman, Ising, Maxwell, and Freleng,</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> decided to break with him and do their own Oswald animation. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Universal, and not Disney, owned the Oswald trademark, and could make the films without Disney and they orchestrated the disloyal Disney artists proposal to produce the Oswald series, without Walt, at lower fees. . </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Iwerks, who created Oswald, remained loyal and together they tried to keep the series but were unsuccessful. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The lesson Disney learned from this experience was to thereafter own all rights to the characters produced by his company.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Disney, his wife, his brother Roy and Mr. Iwerks began to brainstorm together on creating a new character for a cartoon series. They </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">tried sketches of various animals, such as dogs and cats, but none of these appealed to Disney. A female cow and male horse sketches were also brought to the group by Iwerks but they were rejected. The inspiration for another cartoon character came from a tame mouse that Walt often fed at his desk at Laugh-O-Gram Studio in Kansas City. In 1925 Hugh Harman, in attempt to poke fun at Walt and his new pet, surrounded a photograph of Disney with sketches of mice. Ub Iwerks was directed by Disney to sketch a new mouse character for the teams consideration. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The sketches were a hit and Disney named the new character <i>Mortimer Mouse.</i> Lillian, however, dislike the name Mortimer and together the creative team settled on Mickey Mouse. Mickey Rooney would later claim that he met cartoonist Walt Disney at the Warner Brothers studio during his Mickey McGuire days, and this inspired him to name Mickey Mouse after Rooney. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In order to make the character simple to animate, Iwerks designed Mickey's body out of circles. Mickey's body would later replace its circular design with a pear shaped body. Mickey's ears, however, remained true to the circular design is most noticeable in his ears, which in traditional animation, always appear round no matter which way Mickey faces. Mickey's hands were drawn with only three fingers and a thumb because, according to Disney: </span><br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>"Artistically five digits are too many for a mouse. His hand would look like a bunch of bananas. Financially, not having an extra finger in each of 45,000 drawings that make up a six and one half minute short has saved the Studio millions."</i></span></blockquote>

Disney took it </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> to New York for distribution but the distributors were apathetic. "<i>Felix, the Cat</i>" was ruler of the cartoon field, and they saw nothing unusual in a mouse. </span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><i>Plane Crazy</i> was followed by another silent cartoon, the <i>Gallopin' Gaucho</i>, but its test also failed to impress audiences and gain a distributor.

In October, 1928, the cartoon opened at the Colony Theater in New York. The success of the animated short film was immediate marking the beginning of the Disney empire.</span><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Today, the cartoon is incorrectly considered the debut of Mickey Mouse. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Walt Disney's death occurred at 9:35 A.M., on December 15th, 1966 and was attributed to acute circulatory collapse. Disney was a chain smoker throughout his entire adult life and had been stricken by lung cancer. He had undergone surgery at the St. Joseph Medical Center in November for the removal of a lung tumor that was discovered after he entered the hospital for treatment of an old neck injury received in a polo match at the Riviera Club in Hollywood. After several cobalt therapy sessions, Disney and his wife spent a short time in Palm Springs, California. On November 30th, Disney collapsed at his home.
