Talent:

When I was a child, I sold paintings, and when I was a teenager, I decided to be a painter.

Walter is the fourth of five children in the family. Walter doesn't play, so he draws farm animals on draft paper. The mother discovered her son's talent for painting and bought him a picture book. Walter copied all day, and the more he painted, the better. Once, a doctor named Sherwood took a fancy to his paintings and bought them for 50 cents. At the age of 15, Walter thought that he might become a painter in the future.

19 18, the United States was involved in World War I. Walter is only 17 years old this year. He lied about his age to 1 year, joined the Red Cross and became an ambulance driver.

Entrepreneurship:

Set up the animation company "Inside Ghost" and run away with the money.

After the war, Walter returned to Chicago. He applied for a job in a newspaper, but he was rejected. He got a job in a film advertising company with a weekly salary of $40.

1922, Walter quit his job as an advertising company and raised 1500 dollars to start an animation production company. Walter hired two salesmen to sell cartoons to the whole country, but they ran away with the company's money, which put Walter in trouble and finally declared bankruptcy.

Start:

Going to California to partner with my brother for entertainment empire has taken shape.

1in the summer of 923, Disney came to Hollywood, California, and together with his brother Roy, they pooled $3,200 to start a new business and set up "Disney Brothers Animation Production Company", which is the real beginning of today's Disney entertainment empire.

Peak value:

Mickey Mouse was born and Disney became famous.

From 65438 to 0928, he created three cartoons featuring Mickey Mouse. Disney is very strict about the quality of movies. The detailed movements in the film need to be hand-painted with 20 thousand pictures, but Disney did it. The funds have run out. Disney sold his beloved sports car, and he wanted to make the film perfect. By 1930, Mickey Mouse has become a household name all over the world.

Walter's right-hand man, Yubo, was seriously ill after being dug up, and temporarily stopped making Mickey Mouse cartoons. 1932, he cheered up again and made the first color animated film "Flowers and Trees" of Disney Company, and won the Oscar that year. Later, Walter released many excellent cartoons such as Three Little Pigs, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Bambi the Tiger, Fantasia and so on.

Challenge:

After World War II, the career slowed down and Disney was born.

After the end of World War II, the pace of Walter Disney's career began to slow down. Just like in the film industry, Walter became a pioneer in the television industry. He started making TV movies from 1954, and successfully achieved good visual color effects on TV at 196 1.

After the war, Walter's greatest contribution was that 1995 established Disneyland in Los Angeles. He built a bigger park in Florida in the eastern United States.

He can't wait for the release of his first 19 animated film The Jungle Book, nor can he see the completion of Disney World in Florida.

Marriage: pursuing female subordinates

1925, my brother Roy got married and Walter started living alone. This makes the unhurried Disney unable to hold back any longer. He took a fancy to Lillian Penders, a beautiful young girl in his factory.

My wife is a studio girl.

Miss Lillian was born in a pioneer's family. She graduated from Lewiston Business School on 1923, and then went to Disney's studio. She was told never to marry the Disney brothers because they were determined to be single. But Lillian found that Walter was a young man with great temptation and personality. He always has a small beard, trying to look bigger, and usually wears a few shabby clothes that don't fit him, which is out of proportion to the identity of the head of the same film studio.

Disney began to pursue Lillian and often drove her home in his old Ford. Shortly thereafter, one night when Lillian was working alone, he went into the painting studio and kissed her for the first time.

Shoes that people wear on their wedding night.

1925 On July 3rd, they got married at her mother's place in Lewiston, Idaho. Their wedding night was on the express train from Lewiston to Seattle. Things didn't develop as Lillian imagined, because the groom Walter suddenly had a terrible toothache and couldn't come to accompany the bride all night. But to help the sleeper attendant clean the passengers' shoes. Walter explained to her that it would help to forget the toothache.

Walter almost committed suicide when he learned that he could not have children. But in the early summer of 1933, Lillian told him that she was pregnant, which made him ecstatic. They have a daughter, Diana Mary Disney.
