Disney - My Childhood, My Base.

Once upon a time, a man once said, "If you can dream it, you can do it." This was simply the motto of a perfectionist and how he wistfully broke free from his arduous childhood to reinventing animation. That was how the successful Walt Disney Company came to life. It was all because of the visionary Walt Disney that this became possible. This paper aims to discuss how the world-known Walt Disney Company came to be and what are its accomplishments that make us fall in love with them from generation to generation.

The fame and success of the Walt Disney Company did not just pop out of thin air, it came from a dreamer named Walt Disney. Walt Disney was fond of commercial arts, which he took on as his course in college. His love for this led him to his experimentation with animation. Starting small as a cartoonist and part owner of the Laugh-O-grams company in Kansas City, the company gradually grew to what is now considered to be the most successful animation company in the whole world.

He often describes Walt as the "superstar" and he was just "the man behind the scenes".

This cartoon character now stands as the mascot of Walt Disney Company itself. It is no other than Mickey Mouse. Mickey Mouse was first aired on television in the animated cartoon Steamboat Willie. After a prodigious hit on his premiere, Disney continued making Mickey Mouse cartoons featuring Mickey Mouse and the rest of the Mickey Mouse troops, such as, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. Soon, the Silly Symphonies also took the spotlight and was loved by many. The popularity of both the Mickey Mouse series and Silly Symphonies prepared Disney into making his first full-length animation film.
