Walter+Elias+Disney

By: Emerson

Walter Elias Disney was an animator and a movie producer, and made many famous cartoons such as Steamboat Willie. One of his most well-known characters, Mickey Mouse, was the star of that cartoon. He was born in Chicago 1901, and spent most of his time on his uncle’s farm in Missouri. Years later, he moved to L.A. with his brother Roy, to make their cartoons. He also had many theme parks such as Disney World. After awhile, he married and had two children Diane and Sharon. Later there were more theme parks and more cartoons! Mickey Mouse was known all over the world! Sadly, he died in 1966 from lung cancer from smoking too much. He will always be remembered not only for his cartoons, but for the unbelievable things that happened from animation and his way to have imagination vividly come to life. Sources:
