Early Disney

Where would animation be without the great Walt Disney?

Sure many people have contributed to the world of animation over the past century, but would animation really be as entertaining and amazing today if Walt hadn't come along? I doubt it...

We probably would have still achieved high levels with new technology, but even if he wasn't the first to bring forward famed characters such as Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, he certainly brought forward the wonders of animation through them.

For me Walt Disney is a great inspiration; he didn't come from a rich family and was literally an ordinary guy with a big imagination, who set up his own little business for the love of it and that love for his characters and work was felt by the whole world.

Of course, Walt wouldn't be Walt without his mousey friend. Probably the most famous character in animation history, Mickey Mouse is, by far, Walt's greatest creation. Mickey has led the animation world to success; his charm, wit and cuteness is the whole package; when creating a new character, he's the one to look to. Mickey has made some of the most fun and entertaining films ever such as the ever famous and personal favourite of mine, Steam Boat Willie.
