Walt Disney's Biography
Walt Disney was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, IL. Most of his childhood was lived out in Marceline, Missouri. Disney had four brothers and a sister. Walt Disney did not go to college. He graduated from McKinley High School in Chicago. After which he tried to enlist in the military at age 16 but was rejected, and joined the Red Cross. Walt Disney married Lillian Bounds in 1925 and they had a child Diane Disney 1933. They then preceded to adopt a child named Sharon Mae Disney in 1936. Some of his many accomplishments include the opening of his fantastic theme park in Anaheim, California, Disneyland, 1955. Another of them was the first full-length animated film "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" which was released in 1937. Also, he was awarded 26 Oscars over the course of his career. The last one I will talk about is how Mickey Mouse appeared in his first animated feature on November 18, 1928, with "Steamboat Willie." Walt Disney's likes were theme parks, nature and wildlife. Dislikes were Jews. Some of Walt Disney's goals and dreams were to open up Walt Disney World Resort, to create brands, and to entertain children with Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Pluto, and other characters. Some of his many jobs were american business magnate, animator, cartoonist, producer, director, screenwriter, entrepreneur, and voice actor. Walt Disney died December 15, 1966 and was 65 years old when he died. I think that Walt Disney was a hero in his line of work because using his creativity he made many people feel happy and joyful.
