Walt Disney: a biography
Walt Disney is an American animator and film director, the founder of the studio "Walt Disney Productions", which has now turned into a powerful multimedia empire "The Walt Disney Company".
Disney is the first creator of sound cartoons.
During his career, he directed more than 100 films, for which he received the Oscar statuette 26 times, and was also the owner of several dozen other prestigious film awards.
Walt Disney was born in Chicago, but when he was not even five years old, his parents moved the boy and his older brother Roy to a village in Missouri, and a few years later to Kansas City.
Walt loved to draw since childhood, but he did not receive a special education.
As a teenager, he had to work part time to help his family survive in difficult times – the First World War was going on.
By the way, Disney managed to serve for one year before the end of the war.
He was an ambulance driver in France.
Upon returning home, the young man gets a job as an artist at a film studio, where he was used to create commercials.
It was then that Walt began experimenting with hand drawn animation and even founded his first studio "Laugh O Gram", which, however, quickly failed.
However, this did not stop Disney.
He connects his older brother to the business, together with whom he moves to Los Angeles and organizes the Hollywood studio "The Walt Disney Company".
Then it was a tiny office, in which the main employees were the brothers themselves, as well as their friend, the artist Ab Iverks.
Cartoons The first experience of the Disney studio was a series of cartoons "Alice in the land of animation".
Walt drew more than 50 short silent stories about Alice, the heroine of a fairy tale by Lewis Carroll.
At the same time, a special style of Disney films began to emerge.
The first author's character created by Disney was not the famous Mickey Mouse at all, but Oswald the rabbit, a cartoon about which was released in 1927 and became very popular.
And the legendary mouse appeared a year later in the movie "Mad Airplane", and at first his name was Mortimer.
But in the same year, Mickey Mouse got his real name and made a real sensation all over the world, as the cartoon "Steamboat Willie" with his participation became the first sound cartoon in the history of cinema.
By the way, Walt Disney himself voiced the mouse.
This was followed by a huge cycle of more than 70 musical stories under the general title "Funny Symphonies".
In them, the viewer got acquainted for the first time with the favorite characters – the duckling Donald Duck, the dog Goofy, the yellow dog Pluto and many others.
Soon Walt Disney comes up with the idea to make the world's first full length cartoon.
It was the film adaptation of the fairy tale of the Brothers Grimm "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs", which brought the author the title of the king of animation.
Later, the success was supported by other full length animated films - "Pinocchio"," Dumbo"," Bambi"," Cinderella"," 101 Dalmatians " and many others.
The last cartoon released during the life of Walt Disney was the story about Mowgli "The Jungle Book".
After his death, other artists finished the film "Aristocratic Cats", but the joint work of Disney with the great artist Salvador Dali "Destino", unfortunately, remained unfinished forever.
Director In the late 40s, the Walt Disney Studio began to expand its capabilities, previously limited only to animation.
Feature films, mainly aimed at a children's audience, began to appear on the screens.
Disney's educational films about wildlife - "The Disappearing Prairie", "The Living Desert" and others were also intended for teenagers and children.
As a producer, Walt appeared in the adventure films "Treasure Island", "Robin Hood" and the famous musical "Mary Poppins", which was awarded five Oscars.
It should be noted that for Disney, not only the "picture", but also the sound was of great importance.
He always carefully selected the musical accompaniment so that it emphasized and enhanced the effect of perception of events.
Also, the animator director has repeatedly been an innovator in cinema.
He made the first sound cartoon, the first film with stereo sound, the first full length animated film, the first to use shooting on three films at once.
In addition, he awarded any employee who proposed an interesting idea, so colleagues were always interested in fruitful work.
Once, while walking with his daughters, Walt Disney thought about creating a special place for children where they could have fun and spend time with their parents surrounded by their favorite cartoon characters.
In 1953, he finally persuaded 17 families to sell him land and built an amusement park 50 kilometers from Los Angeles, stunning in its size and technical capabilities.
The opening of the park took place two years later and now it is world famous as "Disneyland".
Personal life Walt Disney was married only once.
His favorite woman was Lillian Bounds, the secretary of his studio, with whom he lived until his death.
They got married in 1925, they dreamed of having a child for a long time, but for 8 years each pregnancy ended tragically.
Walt and Lillian suffered a lot until they finally had a daughter, Diana Mary, in 1933.
After 4 years, they adopted an abandoned girl, whom they named Sharon May.
As noted by all his friends, Walt has always been an exemplary family man and devoted all his free time to his wife and children.
It's funny, but the creator of the mouse Mickey Mouse was afraid of mice all his life.
According to his political views, Walt Disney was an ardent anti communist, collaborated with the FBI and wrote denunciations of Hollywood employees whom he suspected of sympathizing with the "reds".
And in the documents declassified in the 21st century, another circumstance was discovered.
It turns out that during the Second World War, Disney supported the idea of anti Semitism and was loyal to German politics.
Walt Disney died in 1966 from lung cancer.
Because of this, since then, smoking characters have not been shown in Disney films and cartoons.
By the way, there is a very common version that the animator's body was frozen in a special chamber in order to revive it in the future.
In fact, the remains of Disney rest in the Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Two films were dedicated to the legendary man.
In the biographical drama "Saving Mr. Banks", Walt was played by actor Tom Hanks, and in the documentary film from the series "Geniuses and Villains of the Passing Era", he was portrayed by Russian actor Dmitry Filimonov.
