The World of Walt Disney.

Walt Disney was a man of inexhaustible imagination, a creator one of the greatest entertainers of all time. For over thirty years Walt Disney had enchanted old and young with his whimsical fantasies, his magical world where flowers sang and ducks got entangled in tire while repairing automobiles, where baby elephants learned to fly and where everything and anything was possible.

Walter Elias Disney was born in Chicago in 1901. He has two eldest brothers, Herb and Ray. Roy, who was eight and half years older that Walter, played an important part in his brother's life, first, as companion and protector , then as advisor, supporter and eventually as business manager and president of the Walt Disney Corporation.

Disney started his career as a political cartoonist for the Kansas City Star. But the firm didn't hold Walter's interest long. He had a new idea to try - a series of cartoons illustrating updated fairy tales. The first film was Alice in Wonderland. In this cartoon appeared a new hero, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. Its main character was more appealing than Alice; the story line was stronger, the situations funnier, the characters better drawn. One day Disney came up with a character and the first scenario for a new series. The hero wold be a mouse looking very much like Oswald without the ears and named Mickey. By 1930 the Disney cartoons and particularly Mickey, had became immensely popular. Movie houses( or cinemas) had to include a new cartoon in every program. Mickey Mouse Clubs were opening everywhere and Mickey an article in 'Time' magazine became an international celebrity. Pleased as he was with the overwhelming popularity of his Mickey Mouse, Disney began to worry in the early thirties about being trapped in the Mickey series. To bring some variety to the cartoons, Disney introduced new characters : Pluto the Dog, then to great winners, Goofy and Donald Duck.

The first colored cartoon, Flowers and Trees, created a sensation and brought Disney the first of his twenty- one Academy Awards, the record number of awards received by one person in Hollywood.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs permitted on December 21, 1937 in time to be seen by the large Christmas holiday audiences. The movie was cheered and applauded by the same crowd of stars and movies. From there it went on to an international career that grossed $8 million on its first run. The film received a special award - a large Oscar surrounded by seven small ones.

Soon Pinocchio came into begin. Today it is generally considered to se Disney's masterpiece. But Fantasia, which mixture of animated stories and classical music, was the most original and ambitious project of that period.

After the war Walt Disney began to feel that fairy tales and funny cartoons were losing their appeal to the audience. Moreover, animated features were getting so expensive to produce that the shorts couldn't break even any more. So, in 1956 he stopped producing the short cartoons. Of the long features produced in early fifties, only Cinderella brought large profits. Sleeping Beauty did moderately well, but Alice in Wonderland was a failure. But that time, Disney had turned to other sources of wealth : adventure films, including Treasure Island, Robin Hood and other live- action film.

But Walt Disney has two more great creations which are enjoyed year round by millions of visitors. They are Disneyland in California and Walt Disney World near Orlando, Florida, both being probably the greatest amusement parks in the world.

Disneyland was opened in October 1955. If you go there, you will be able to see a reproduction of a quarter of New Orleans, Western streets with log cabins and mules in Frontierland , and you will be amused by an idealized version of a typical old- American Main street, complete whit ice cream parlor, curio shops, a horse-drawn trolley and antique cars. Adventureland offers a safari on an African river full of hippos and crocodiles; Fantasyland has its Sleeping Beauty's Castle; and Tomorrowland its rockets to Mars.

It's a memorial to Walt Disney, who always wanted to give people good, clean fun and introduce them to the wonders of human discoveries that fascinated him. Mostly, he wanted to give happiness to all.
