Walt Disney


The famous Walter Elias Disney (Dec. 1901- Dec. 1966), otherwise known as Walt Disney, had accomplished many things throughout his life. Many of these things dealt with "fantasy" so to say. Disney was an Academy Award-winning American film producer, director, screenwriter, voice actor, animator, entreprenaur, and philanthropist. Being known as "one of the most innovative figures in the entertainment field during the 20th century," he was known for creating many fictional characters such as the famous Mickey Mouse, and was also credited and was the namesake for Disneyland and Walt Disney World. It's crazy how one man is responsible for being a part of so many children's lives; from movies, to cartoons, to books, and to two of the most famous theme parks in the world. What would we have done without the great Walt Disney? What would our childhood have been like without him?
