Walter Elias Disney

Many of you have read Disney books, seen Disney movies, watched Disney cartoons/shows, played Disney games including the ever-amazing VMK, and been to the Disney parks. Many of you may also know we have to thank for all that Walter Elias Disney. But do you also know that the world might not have such amazing technologies or have done the things we have done today without him? I'm curious to know within the next 2-4 weeks what you all think he has helped with in a broad view and specifically as well before I say what I believe.

So what do you believe the great storyteller did for us?

I'll post more later but I consider Walt to be someone I look up to. I've read like a 600 page biography on him and I just am so amazed at what he accomplished and how he did it.

Walt Disney is one of my greatest role models. Not only did he have the creativity and imagination that many people only dream of having, but he also had the ambition to see his dreams through. That is SO rare. I read lots of biographies about him because I love learning about him.

I'll probably post more later, too.

He really just never gave up, even when everything was going wrong. That's my favorite part

I don't know much about Walt Disney, but he has definitely transformed the entertainment industry. He had a vision of a better world, or should I say land , and he ran with it. Walt wanted to build a superior family friendly theme park and he was successful. Although he didn’t get there with ambition alone (You can wish on a star, but that can only take you halfway), he used his creativity and talent to make something completely different. He also had a little help along the way. Walt expected a great deal out of his staff and this helped Walt accomplish what he wanted. For example, he wanted the birds in the Enchanted Tiki Room to appear as though they were actually breathing, so he had the staff rebuild the animatronics. Walt saw the future. He also revolutionized the film industry. He made animated films that had fans of all ages rather than just children. He also made live action films that used new techniques. He seems like an interesting man and it would have been a pleasure to meet him. I am sure there is more, but I am sure I could write a ten page response on this and it still wouldn’t do Walt justice. So I guess this will do.
