Walt Disney

An Amazing Life

     Walt Disney had a unique early life that obviously lead to the success he had as an adult. To start from the beggining he was born on December 5, 1901 in Chicago, Illinios. For most of his childhood he drew, painted, and sold pictures to neighbors, family, and friends. As he grew up he moved to Kansas City. There he found a new job with the railroad, selling snacks. Later he attended McKInley High School where he took drawing and photography classes.For a family life he married one of his first employees, Lillian Bounds. They would later be blessed with 2 daughters. As he lived he had some major accomplishments. First of all, Walt created a new character , Mickey Mouse. Secondly he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. Thirdly, in 1932, the production entitled Flowers and Trees won Walt the first if his studios Academy Awards.

Quotes

     Through out Walt's life he had many famous qoutes. One of the quotes he had said was,"If you can dream it, you can do it." My opinion for this quote is that since it inspires someone to follow your dreams it is a good quote to live by. Another quote he said was,"The way to get started is to quit talking and bedin doing." This qoute I like because it means you can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk. The third and final quote I'm going to be sharing is."All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them." My opinion for this qoute is that I like it because it shows that in order to do something you need to try.

Accomplishments

     Walt Disney acheived many things in his life. I'm going to talk about 3 of them. Did you know Walt created the new, now-famous character,Mickey Mouse? This is amazing. Just think asking little children who Walt DIsney is. At first they probablt won't know. But, once I say he created Mickey Mouse they will be like I LOVE WALT DISNEY!!! Another one of his accomplishments was that he made the world's first synchronized sound cartoon. A synchronized sound cartoon is a cartoon that...I'll just give an example. It's when if a character gets hit with a pot that sound of him getting hit is what you will hear. The third and final accomplishment I am going to talk about is that in 1932, the production Flowers and Trees won Walt the first of his studio's Academy Awards. This could inspire someone because in the life that he went through he was so successful that anyone could probably be as successful with not-so-good lead life.
