Walt Disney.
10 facts that you probably didnot know
There is no more famous and influential figure in the field of entertainment production than Walt Disney.
From black and white animation to Oscar winning films, Disney managed to make millions of viewers fall in love with his paintings.
Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy are known by children and adults all over the planet.
A small animation studio, founded by Walt Disney on October 16, 1923, is now estimated at $ 42 billion.
Despite the popularity of his characters, Disney himself remains a relatively secretive figure.
It so happened that his story remained in the shadow of his achievements.
In this article, we will look at ten interesting facts about the creator of Mickey Mouse.
I'm sure you probably havenot heard of them.
1. From school to the army
During the First World War, 16 year old Disney dropped out of school to serve in the army.
But the minor volunteer was not taken to the service, but was offered a place as an ambulance driver in the Red Cross.
Disney agreed, after which he was sent to France.
Simultaneously with the arrival of the young driver, a settlement agreement was signed between the warring parties.
Disney had to go back.
2. Mickey Mouse could be Mortimer
It so happened that Mickey Mouse is actually a synonym for the word Disney, but few people know that if it were not for the animator's wife, Mickey Mouse would be Mortimer Mouse.
In the first episodes of the animated series, the mouse was introduced as Mortimer Mouse, but Lillian Disney managed to convince her husband that Mickey is a more suitable name for the character.
Later, Mortimer became a rival of Mickey Mouse in the fight for his beloved Minnie.
3. Mickey Mouse was voiced by Walt Disney himself
Walt Disney was not only an animator, director and producer (not to mention his entrepreneurial acumen), he also proved himself in voice acting.
Since the creation of Mickey 1928, and up to 1947, the voice of the star mouse belonged to Walt Disney himself.
Later, the mouse was voiced by actor Jimmy McDonald.
4. Disney is the first creator of a full length animated film
When the employees of the Disney company found out that their boss was planning to make a full length film out of Snow White, they were sure that this idea was doomed to failure.
Among themselves, they called this project "Disney's Stupidity", and they were almost right.
During the production of "Snow White", Disney was forced to show the creditors a draft version of the film, because the limit of allocated funds for the production of the cartoon was exhausted.
After viewing, the creditors agreed to allocate additional funding to Disney to complete work on the film.
Snow White was a crushing success.
The film earned more than $ 8 million at the time of its premiere and more than $ 130 million to date.
5. Walt Disney is the best friend of the US government
In addition to the fact that the young Disney tried to help the United States at the front during World War I, he helped several federal agencies throughout his career.
Walt made educational films for the US Army, propaganda films calling on Americans to pay taxes, as well as several anti Hitler commercials.
Disney also took part in the filming of a series of documentaries about astronautics for NASA.
6. Disney's contribution to the anti Communist movement
After the end of World War II, many in the United States were afraid of communist sentiments.
Disney, together with his colleagues, organized the anti communist movement "Motion Picture Alliance" (MPA), which stands for the preservation of American ideals.
7. Disney was close to creating a ski resort
After the opening of the first Disneyland, in 1955, Walt decided to build a ski resort near Central Sequoia Park in California.
He even received approval from the foresters and agreed with the governor of California regarding the construction of a new road.
However, the project was suspended.
And after the death of Disney, in 1966, the new managers of the company decided that they would be able to manage only one major project, while choosing Disneyland.
8. Disney is the winner of the most Oscars
From 1932 to 1969, Walt Disney received 22 Oscars and participated in 59 nominations.
In addition, he was awarded three awards designed specifically for him.
The first - for the creation of Mickey Mouse, the second for his musical contribution to animated films, the third for the cartoon "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs".
9. Disney's last words remain a mystery
Shortly before his death (from lung cancer), Disney scribbled 2 words on a piece of paper - "Kurt Russell" ("Kurt Russell").
For Russell himself, this fact also remains a mystery.
At the time of Disney's death, Kurt Russell was a child, and although he was already an actor, he had not yet achieved wide popularity.
10. After death, Disney was not frozen
After the death of Walt Disney, there were active rumors that the alleged genius of animation was frozen.
However, this is not true.
In fact, Disney's body was cremated, and the first cryogenic freezing of a person in history took place only a month after Disney's death.
