Walt Disney (1901-1966) was America's greatest cartoon animator and a pioneer in the movie and theme park industries. His Disneyland in California spawned similar ventures in Florida (Walt Disney World), Tokyo, Hong Kong, and Paris.
In 1925, Disney hired a young woman named Lillian Bounds to ink and paint celluloid. He was soon taken with his new employee and they would often go for drives together in the hills of Los Angeles. While on a date he asked her if he should buy a new car or a ring for her finger. They were married on July 15, 1925, and, unlike many Hollywood marriages, theirs lasted for over 40 years.[1]
Disney is perhaps best known for creating Mickey Mouse.
Famous Disney animations include:
- Steamboat Willie (first appearance of Mickey Mouse)
- Snow White and the Seven Dwarves
- Cinderella
- Bambi
- Dumbo
- Fantasia
